Ellie: Mommy!!! Hanna just pushed me over right on my mosquito bite!!!!! OW!!!!
Clearly, she has no idea the precision involved in successfully knocking someone on something as tiny as a mosquito bite—impressive.
Me: Hanna, I see you are learning about the provinces in school….can you remember any of them?
Hanna: Yes, Ontario, Ellie doesn’t know any.
Ellie: YES I DO SO!!! Mommy! Yes! I! Do! Hanna says I don’t know any provinces!! Mars! China! There Hanna!
Ellie: Mommy! Hanna said I was young!
We should all be so lucky.
Ellie: Daddy said I could be his helper but then he cleaned the bbq himself!
Dad’s can be unthinkably cruel.
Ellie: We were supposed to get an ice cream sandwich last night but you said it was too late!
Noted.
Ellie: Hanna spit at me!
This one might have some legs.
Ellie: First my shoes were full of rocks then you made me take them off, then I had to pee, then my sliver started hurting, then Hanna was mean to me…..
I am questioning the authenticity of this rant.
Ellie: Mommy! Hanna said I smell!
Well, she didn’t say you smelled bad just that you smell. Everyone smells.
Ellie: Hanna! Mommy says you stink!
Not exactly.
This one might be my favourite of the day, Ellie: If you take away the “C” and the “H” from Chloe and add a “V” you have l-o-v-e “love.” I just have boring Ellie.
I was so tempted to squeeze her cheeks and in my most condescending baby voice ask, “Who’s the drama queen?” over and over but then I’d have to sleep with one eye open. Though, it is tough to fear someone who falls asleep on the toilet…..
