Here are some of the conversations I have had with my girls and overheard from them over the last few months.
The Bob and Larry Dispute (My personal favorite)
Lily: I'm Larry, you're Bob Pen.
Penny: I Larry, you Bob.
Lily: No, I'm Larry and
you're Bob
Penny: I Larry,
you Bob
(This went on for quite sometime and Lily was started to get really mad)
Lily: Fine Pen, I'm Bob and you're Larry!
Penny: I Bob, You Larry
Lily: HAHA Pen you said I'm Larry and you're Bob!!
Penny: Haha I Larry, you Bob!
(Lily started crying and hung her head in defeat. Penny walked over and put her hand on Lily's shoulder and said..)
Penny: Solly (sorry) Bob.
Lily's "Front Butt"
Lily: Mommy, my front butt is itchy.
Me: front butt??
Lily: yea and points to her crotch.
(So I went and got some anti-itch creme from Michelle's bathroom since I forgot to bring rash creme on our trip. It said instant cooling relief and that it was safe for external genital use)
Me: ok Lil this will make it feel better.
(Just then Penny walks in and pulls her pants down and says..)
Penny: My turn too mommy!
(As soon as I put the creme on Lily she started screaming that it burned and hurt. I felt awful! As Penny witnessed what had happened she hiked up her pants and walked out of the room shaking her head and saying...)
Penny: Not my turn, no no, not my turn. I ok.
The Neighbor's bunny Princess Dies
Our neighbor's bunny got very sick and passed away. Lily had a lot of questions, which I tried to avoid but then gave in and tried my best to explain to both girls in a way that wouldn't freak them out too much.
Lily: Mommy, Where is Princess?
Me: Well honey, Princess went to Heaven to be with Jesus.
Lily: Princess is in Heaven with Jesus? Jesus loves me and Princess loves me?
Me: Yes Lily, Princess and Jesus love you
(At this point Lily suprised me by starting to cry really hard and tell me how sad she was. Penny joined the conversation very enthusiastically)
Penny: Yea Lily, Princess DIED!! She dead now!! She all gone and not come back! Dead, dead, died.
(This sent Lily into a new round of sobbing. I had to leave the room because I couldn't help but laugh at difference between my daughters...)
I Wanna Coluh
Penny: "I wanna coluh Lily"
Lily: "Here Pen, you can have a color pencil"
Penny: "NO! I wanna markuhs to coluh Lily!"
Lily: "No Pen, you can't have markers you eat them."
Penny: "Oh..."
