*%#* My Kid Says

So, overheard at 97 Whippoorwill over the past couple of weeks:

Me: "Liana, are you my favorite little girl?"
Nugget: "No, I a big girl"

Of course, we have told her this countless times since she started going potty on her own.

Me: "Wow, you went potty all by yourself?"
Nugget: "I did one, two, three turds"

(as she looked in the toilet bowl and counted - she was right!)

Nugget: "Is Monkey George getting a time-out?"

A legitimate question while reading the Curious George Christmas book. He was being carried out of the room by a Nurse where the children's Christmas tree was. He had decided to do his own decorating.

"Dada, why can't I sit next to you and hug you?"

This one made me sad, but it was the rules while I was sick - obviously it didn't prevent anyone from getting sick so maybe we won't employ that tactic next time.

"That a round circle? That a round square?" - everytime she sees a circle - and you have no idea how many cirlces there are until you have a 2.5 year old - she asks if it is a round circle. I tried to explain that all circles are round but that was met with the usual "how come?". So, now she asks if that is a round square, if that is a round rectangle, etc. We're getting there - slowly but surely.
