More Funnies

I know this is all I blog about now, but at least I'm keeping track of the funny things my kids say, right?

• Kiera mentioned that English is her favorite subject in school.  Makenna said, "What is English anyway?  I already speak it good."
• One evening, I told the girls to hop in the car because I was taking them somewhere for a surprise.  All along the way, the girls would ask me questions and I would respond by saying, "Oh, that's a good idea," or "It could be that."  Finally Makenna said in a haunting voice, "You are suspiciously amazing...."
• As I was tucking Kasidee into bed one night, she asked if she could sleep with me in my bed.  I said, "Well, why don't you try to fall asleep and if you can't then you can come in and cuddle with me."  She said, "Okay, I'll count my blinks while I try to fall asleep."
• We were on a hike one day and Makenna spotted lots of cactus.  She asked if she could take a piece of one home.  She said, "Here's a bald one - it won't be prickly!"
• Kasidee spilled something and said, "Ooops - sorry!  That wasn't on mean to!"
• Kasidee calls pine trees "pokey-pines."
• Kasidee asked me to close my eyes then open them fast so she could see my "pimples" get smaller!

Ha Ha Ha

A few more funny things my kids have said:

• Makenna made a little book and the cover (saturated with glue) started bending upwards a bit.  She seemed distraught after all her hard work and asked me what she could do to prevent it from bending.  I suggested she put something heavy on top of it and leave it for awhile to help flatten it out.  She said, "Something heavy?  Like my bum?"
• We were on vacation at Bear Lake when we stopped at a gas station.  As we were walking back to our car, we could hear some "groovy" music playing in someone else's car.  Kasidee looked at Quentin, who was wearing sunglasses and said, "Daddy, your sunglasses go with this music!"
• One day Makenna asked me what exactly is the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan.  After I was done explaining, she said, "Well, are peanuts vegan?"  I said, "Of course they are.  They don't come from animals, do they?"  She replied, "Yes they do - from squirrels."
• Kasidee said, "You don't want to run too fast 'cause then you'll 'huh, huh,, huh' (panting noises)."

Even More Funnies

Okay, so I haven't been the best at posting on my blog lately.  Maybe I'll catch up someday.  But I HAVE been keeping track of the funny things my kids say - and I like to write them on here so I won't forget! 

• Kasidee wanted to save something she was eating so she asked me if I could put some "see-through paper" over her bowl.
• The girls were describing doing something and Makenna said, "I know - I can imagine it.  I just did that thing in my mind!"
• I was trying to explain Daylight Savings time to Kasidee.  She seemed to understand and then asked, "But how do they make it dark?"

We were pretty busy during Christmas Break, but I told the girls that one day could be a "play with friends" day.  Kasidee was excited - and here's the list she wrote and stuck to the refrigerator (she's a list-maker just like her mommy!):
* Get up
* Brush your haer
* Get your close on
* Eat
* Brush your teeth
* Wate inteele 1 be four you call a friend

One day while we were out and about, Kiera saw a truck that had "24-Hour Towing" printed on it.  She said, "24 hour towing?  Really?  That would take a long time!"  I laughed and explained that it didn't mean it took 24 hours to tow your car - it meant that you could call that company anytime of day.  Kiera said, "Oh, okay.  Well, they should change that then!"

When the girls are in the car when Quentin or I have to fill up the gas tank, they have fun doing a guessing game of how much it will cost.  The other night, Quentin was filling up and I heard the girls make their guesses.  Kiera guessed $52, Makenna guessed $62 and Kasidee guessed "50-anything."

After we ate dinner on New Year's Day, Kiera said, "Oh - I forgot!  My New Year's resolution was to try something new for dinner each day.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to try next year."

The other night we were talking about the Tower of Babel and how that is where a lot of the different languages come from.  Makenna said, "Like English, Spanish, Germanish and Italy-ish."

About every week, we have "Clean Out the Fridge" (leftovers) night.  As I was heating up some leftover pasta for Makenna she said, "Make it hot.  Really hot.  Like Olive Garden hot."

Kasidee was drawing a bunch of fruits one day.  She drew some cherries and wrote "Cherry" on the top of the page.  She said, "Is this how you spell cherry?"  I said yes.  She said, "Really?  Is that how you spell it in real life?"
