Breakfast

Lily (age 8) - "Mommy."
Me (still groggy from sleep) - "Yes?"
Lily - "Someone let Luke butter his own waffle this morning. It did not end well."
Me - "Oh."

Watching Cartoons

Ella (age 6 1/2) - "Wait, so this guy Gargamel wants to EAT the Smurfs?"
Me - "Yeah, sometimes he wants to eat them, sometimes he wants to make a potion with them."
Ella - "..."
Ella - "And there is only one girl?"
Me - "Yep, Smurfette."
Ella - "This show is not right."

Chores

Lily (age 8) - "Mommy, can Ella and I have some chores to get an allowance?"
Me - "Lily, that would be great. Can you start by helping me now?"
Lily - "Of course!"
Me - "Great! Can you put away all of the groceries that belong in the fridge?"
Lily - "Sure! I can do that."

That's Racist!

Lily (age 8) - "I laughed so loud, people in China dropped their noodles."
Me - "..."
Ella (age 6 1/2) - "Because people in China eat a lot of noodles, Mom."



You, too?

Ella (age 6 1/2) - "Ugh. I so need a night out."

Modest, too

Ouch

Me - "I want to go over and look at the swimsuits. I need a new one."
Lily (age 8) - "Uhh, do they make swimsuits in YOUR size?"
Me - "..."
