9/15 ~ Exacto: "I guess choir teachers have to go to la school."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

~ Rosebud, with fervent tenderness: "I love worms better than potahto bugs now. Because they're too sweet."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

~ Hummer, as our home teachers were leaving, just before we shut the door: "Thanks for the brownies!"

Me: "They gave us brownies?"

Hummer, wistfully: "No."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

~ Fluffy and Rosebud were outside on the driveway. Rosebud pointed at the wetness on the driveway and said, "Can you hear it evaporating?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

9/14 ~ A common conversation with Rosebud.

Rosebud: "Mommy, look at this worm I found!" (or potahto bug, or grasshopper, or any living critter she finds)

Me: "Oh, he's a cute one!"

Rosebud: "You mean SHE."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

9/10 ~ I was listening to a lovely song, one of my favorites, and singing along as we drove. For some inexplicable reason Rosebud kept telling me to stop singing and insisted that I turn it off when it was done. There was silence in the car (I was trying not to be resentful). Then Rosebud said, "I would like to eat a blue quesadilla."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

9/9 ~ Rosebud, eating dinner "The crust is yummy! It's as yummy as a lark!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

8/23 ~ Hummer was watching me fill out paperwork to enroll him at his new elementary school, and as I marked his race/ethnicity as "White" he commented, "They should have a checkbox by 'Tan.'"
