Ugly Shirts

Addilece: Mom, I am so sad.  My shirt is ugly.  It's brown.
Me: I don't think it's ugly.  I think it's cute.  It can be a plain color.
Addilece: Yeah, but I don't like plain colors.  I like pretty shirts.
Me: Well, MY shirt is gray.  I think it's cute.  Don't you?
Addilece:  NOOOOOO!!!!!

Trading Ribbon

Addilece and I were on a date.  I was looking for hair ribbons to go with their Easter Dresses and I was allowing her to pick out a few for me to make into other ribbons.  After she had finally found two she liked, and I had stuck one (a white one) in her basket she pipes up and says:

A: "I found a different one I like."
M: "Ok, but you have to trade it for one you already have."
A: "I like this one and this one, but not the white one.  I'm going to trade it for the white one."
M: "Uh, the white one is mine."
A: "I know!  I'll put it back."

After You

Three 3 year olds fighting to get into the car.

Me: Little Man, say 'After you.'
Little Man: After me.
Me: No, 'after you.'
Little Man: After ME!
Me: No, 'AFTER-YOU'.
Little Man (defeated): After you.

A River

Addilece was showing me a picture she had drawn.

"On this side is a spider web"

Flipping picture over.

"And this side is a pee accident.  A big one.  Like a river."

Awesome

Big Brother:

"I did something cool.  I am AWESOME!"

Compliments

I was telling Addilece why I loved her.  I listed about five different things that I thought were special with her.  Then I stopped.  She looked up and declared:

"What ELSE were you going to say."

So I went on.  After a few more compliments she said:

"Ok.  I'm going to get a book now."

I told you...

We were eating dinner and the food was HOT.  We gave ample warning to the kids. 

Addilece: "Big brother be careful it's hot.  It's hot be careful.  Be careful Big Brother."

Big Brother takes a bite and looks up with a look that says he's suprised how hot it really is.

Addilece shaking head: "I told you it was hot.
