*upon walking into Dollar Tree*

Evie:  "Wow, this place is a treat."

Today's before-nap story was apparently sub-par, because Evelyn decided to follow it with her own story:

"Once upon a time, there was a family of four frogs: Daddy Frog, Mommy Frog, Hakim Frog, and Baby Evie Frog.  One day, Hakim Frog was kicking all the baby frogs in the head.  Mommy Frog said, "Hakim Frog, you're being a bully!  I'm gonna kick YOU in the head!"  And Mommy Frog kicked him in the head and made him leave.  The end."

A few weeks ago, Evelyn twisted her ankle and fell.  Mommy comforted her, saying "Oh no, you hurt your ankle," and rubbing it.

Since then, Evelyn thinks that any wound is an ankle.  No amount of correction from Mom has changed that.

"Mommy,  I have an ankle on my head."

And yesterday she fell and split her lip.  "There's an ankle in my mouth."

*after reading about Zacchaeus in the Bible*

mom:  "What would you do with Jesus if he came over to you house today?"

Evie:  "He would make some tigers, and then He would play tigers with me, and we would have so much fun because Jesus loves little girls and tigers."

"Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me all about it.
Little ones to him belong,
We are weak but Jesus is strong and mighty.
Yes, Jesus loves sheep.
Yes, Jesus loves cows.
Yes, Jesus loves waffles,
The Bible tells me all about it."

mom:  "You don't have to finish your milk if you don't want to."

Evie:  "Thanks for saying those nice words, Mommy.  They made me feel so proud and happy."

Evie:  "Look, Mommy.  A penny for you.  You can buy it from me if you want."

mom:  "Neat!  How much does it cost?"

Evie:  "Five dollars."

mom:  "That doesn't seem like a very good deal."

Evie:  "Nope.  But you know you want it anyway."

mom:  "Goodnight, my beautiful princess."

Evie:  "Oh Mom.  I'm not a princess.  I'm just a people."

"What up, I'm a queen."

09/22/2014

mom:  "When you're done with your sandwich, it's time for a nap."

Evie:  "I'm gonna say this to you one time: I'm not going to take a nap today."

mom:  "Will you be a good listener at dance class today?"

Evie:  "Nope.  I want to be naughty and a bully."

Evelyn and Dad were wrestling in bed this morning.

"Daddy, I'm going to sit on you and toot on you!"

So she climbed up on his back and sat proudly, grinning from ear to ear.  Then a look of concentration.  Then a look of panic came upon her face.

"I went potty on Daddy's back!  Help!"

09/19/2014

mom:  "Evie, what's the funniest joke you know?"

Evie:  "Tears."

mom:  "Oh wow.  Been one of those days, huh?  Feeling a little emo?"

Evie:  "Nope!  A giraffe pooping on a frog!  HAHAHAHA!"

*after spotting a lady sitting in the bleachers above us, who was rather round and had her khaki shorts pulled up extremely high over her stomach*

"Mommy, why is that lady wearing a diaper?"

*while in the kitchen, gazing longingly at the cupcakes on the counter*
 
Evie: "Mommy, please go in the living room and close your eyes for five minutes."
