Stories that have to be told...

I just need to write these things down so they don't get lost in the windmills of my mind. These stories are not necessarily in chronological order, but rather I'll just jot them down as they come to me.

Evyisms

-(On a recent road trip to DC and back, as Andrea read aloud while I drove) "Mommy, why are you talking to that book?"

- "Can I cut?"

- "Can I cut with scissors?"

- "Can I cut with scissors at Addy and Kier's house?"

- (After watching "The Mouseketeers" Tom & Jerry cartoon, echoing the French accent of Jerry's nephew mouse) "Bon jour, BOO-see cat!"

- (Almost every morning, as soon as she wakes up) "I want COFFEE and WATER!"


Episodes

- A recent conversation with Bree.
Bree: "Dad, I think it's so cool how you have a little bit of gray hair there on the sides of you head."
Me: "What?!? Where?"
Bree: "Right there by those kitty-ear things above your forehead."

- Andrea's involuntary outburst when a car nearly swerved into our lane: "S---, people!" Evy's immediate echo: "S---, people!"

- Again, Andrea's involuntary outburst upon dropping a plate in the sink: "S---!" Bree: "Did Mommy just say 's---'?"
