Not to be rude, but....

(Picking up Elizabeth from a playdate with Grama & Grampa)

Elizabeth: "Did you bring me a treat?"

Me: "Yes...it's in the car."

Elizabeth (to Grampa): "I.... I want to go home now."

The return of Kermit?

Elizabeth: "Guess what! I found another frog in my backyard!"

Me: "Really?"

Elizabeth: "Yeah! A teeny, weeny... heeny... BIG frog!"

Lost in translation

(While driving...)

Me: "We're almost to Sunriver!"

Elizabeth: "What?!"

Me: "We're almost to Sunriver."

Elizabeth: "Oh... I thought you said... tree!"

Baby Kermit comes to visit

(In the backyard one evening)

Elizabeth: "LOOOK!! LOOOOOOK!!!! LOOOOOOK!!"

Sleep-talking

"....Cartooooons...."

Good Karma

In the bathtub, while handing me a cup full of water and washcloth.

Elizabeth: "Here you go. It's a present."

Me: "Oh, thank you. Have I been a good girl?"

Elizabeth: ".....What you said?"

Me: "I said, have I been a good girl to get such a great present?"

Elizabeth: "Yes, you are a good Mommy, so you get this present."

Cut to the chase

While watching a Disney Treasury about Goofy

"Leonard Maltin?! Gimme cartoons!"

Toddler One-Liners

"I love all the dinosaurs in the world!"

Happiness & Joy for a 3yo

(On our way to Salmon Street Fountain one warm day last week...)

Elizabeth: [looks at her pink Tinkerbell watch]

Me: "What time does your watch say?"

Elizabeth: "It says: WATERPARK TIME!"

Of course, green!

While driving...

Elizabeth: "What's coming out of that car?"

Me: "Steam."

Elizabeth: "Someday... I want to get a car that makes steam!"

Me: "OK!"

Elizabeth: "A green car... with three seats."

Me: "And, who's going to ride in your car?"

Elizabeth: "Grama, and Grampa, and Mommy, and Daddy, and Grama, and Me, and... [trails off]"

Me: "and, who else?"

Elizabeth: "No."
