My girls say stuff..

E (12) to M (8.5): You are really good at maths, it's just that Mum and Dad aren't used to having an average kid.

M (8.5): Do hybrid cars have pollution pipes?

E(12): My undies won't fold

E (12): My shoe has 8 different textures.

M(8) is farewelling her dried boogers she's cleaning off the wall... "Goodbye Bob, goodbye Anastasia"

E (11) watching the Simpsons: That Krusty guy is not a good influence.

M (8): Look at me, I'm a salad.

C: Can you see the sun hiding behind the fog? It's not as bright as normal. E (3.5): But Mum, where are its streamers?

C: Can you say Margot? M (Almost 2): Mar. . . Got P (7): She hasn't learnt to backspace that gap yet.

M (almost 8): Tickle the middle of the worm to see which ends laughs

M (7.5): My dress up drawers are a place of wonder.

M (7.5) drawing a portrait of C. M: I'm drawing you thin. C: I hope not too thin! M: Not stick thin... Just log thin.

M (7.5): 179, 180, 181, 182... C: what are you doing? M: Counting objects!

M (7.5) wraps her arms around Cs neck. C brings her in close for a squeeze hug. M: Mum, your face is shiny like a glitter ball!

E: We got a kitten! I really want to rub it in (to mum), but I don't want to go too far..

E (10): Am I good singer? P (12): There's a hint of melody, with a lot of joyful enthusiasm.

C in the morning: I think you've grown overnight. P(12): Maybe. Or maybe the synovial fluid in my joints hasn't compressed yet.

R: If I ever went vegan, I think the hardest thing to give up would be cheese. E(10): You depend too heavily on Dagwood dogs to go vegan.

P (12): I'm just going to activate my rain noise.

M (7): Mum, I always think of asking you to do my homework for me, but then I remember that your writing is different to mine.
