**********
On the way to Mass, matter-of-factly:
"My bref [breath] stinks and I forgot to brush my teef [teeth], so I am eating a peppa-mint."
While walking the nature trails during the preschool field trip:
"I think I see a snake!! ...Well, maybe it's just a stick."
After 4 completed days of Tutus Tuus [following approximately 4 months of arguing over wardrobes]:
Harper: "When I get older, I'm not gonna wear crop tops because I want to be like Jesus and He covered His body."
Scarlett: "No He didnt, Hawpa! I can see His nipples on the cwoss!"
Juliette, Harper, me: .....
Randomly:
Scarlett: "If our house eva' [ever] burns down, will we just, like, have to stay at Dana's or something?"
Me: .....
While looking at the line of airplane exhaust in the sky on a sunny day:
"Oh! There's a whooshing star [wishing/shooting star]! I'm gonna blow it a whoosh [wish] and see if it comes true!"
While eating my Mexican leftovers:
"Mmmm, this is good! Maybe next time you orda' [order], I can share it... Because like, I USED to LOVE cheeseboogas [cheeseburgers] when we went to Mexico, but now that I'm getting a yitta [little] bit olda' [older] I don't really like them anymore."
Randomly:
Me: "Did you know it's my birthday next week?"
Scarlett: "Yes."
Me: "I'm gonna be 34!"
Scarlett: "How old are you now?"
Me: "33..."
Scarlett: "Oh, yeah. I wonda [wonder] how old Dad is? ...Prob-lee.........22?"
Me: .....
While visiting with Uncle Blake:
Scarlett: "Why do you have a mustache but not a beard?"
Blake: "Because pilots aren't allowed to have beards."
Scarlett: "Oh. .....Do you have hair on your back?"
Blake: .....
While driving into town on 4th of July weekend:
Me: "I hope it rains soon!"
Scarlett: "Why?"
Me: "Because it could be dangerous at 4th of July with all the fireworks if the grass and plants are so dry..."
Scarlett: ".....Well, God knows everything and his hands are bigga' [bigger] than our house, so.....it's fine!"
Me: .....
Randomly:
"Sometimes I yawn on puh-puss [purpose] 'cause I'm just tired."
Randomly:
Scarlett: "Mom, you and me kinda have the same hair. Well like, the same cuh-luh [color] I mean, but yours is like, SUPA' [super] fuzzy hair."
Me: .....
While taking off Arabella's cone after her spay:
"Ohhhh, I don't think that's a good idea to take that off! Will her decisions [incisions] get affected [infected]?!"
While reviewing who she may have a locker by at school and doing a poor job of explaining ABC order:
Me: "So since your last name starts with F, you might have a locker by ___ or ___... But if you got married to ___ and your last name was ___, then you might have a different locker by ___ or ___ because your name wouldn't end in F anymore..."
Scarlett: "Well, that will NEVA' eva' happen, because you can't get married to your friends, you know."
While driving to school on the first day:
Scarlett: "I hope ____ isn't there on the first day today!"
Me: "Why??! That's not very nice!"
Scarlett: "Because! She picks her nose then eats her boogas [boogers]!"
Me, Brian: .....
While still driving to school on the first day:
Scarlett: "It feels like we are going on vah-cay-shen [vacation]!"
Me [trying not to look TOO excited in the front seat]: "...Yes, yes...yes it does! :D"
