A: I was like super ninja girl. All like hiii-yah! Pow! yah! Kinda like that.

The cousins playing house:

J: hey mom, come look at this slide...

A: I'm not your mom, I'm your wife!

J: oh, ok. Wife, come look at this slide...

The girls are putting on puppet shows. A just finished one up:

"...and the robot saved the day. The end. If you'd like to see more puppet shows, please visit dot com online."

We pull in to a Trader Joe's in a shopping center and W is slowly reciting some letters as we are getting the girls out of the car. I'm not really paying attention, when she exclaims, "Mama! I just spelled Trader Joe's!" I say, "oh, good job." Daddy says, "no, W, you just spelled 'futon', actually."

W, bringing a Cars coloring page with some obscure character on it: What's this car's name?

Me: I don't know.

W What's this car's name?

Me: I don't know.

W: What's this car's name?

Me: Billy Bob.

W: Billy Bob? You don't know this car's name, do you?

Not quite an A&W story, but funny nonetheless:

So I was sleep interrogated last night.

S, shaking me awake: How are you going to lift the weights if you can't sjkdjfid jkosjfds hjjdso?

Me, woken out of a sound sleep: What?!

S, more urgently: How are you going to lift the weights if you can't sjkdjfid jkosjfds hjjdso?!

Me: what the hell?

S, pissed off, enunciating slowly, even the nonsense words: How. are. you. going. to. lift. the. weights. if. you. can't. sjkdjfid. jkosjfds. hjjdso?!

Me, crying: Why did you wake me up to ask a crossfitty question I can't even understand?!

S, in a snippy tone: Oh, I didn't realize you were sleeping.

Me, finally looking at the clock and realizing it's the middle of the night and he's sleep talking: Ok, I'm going back to sleep now.

S, letting out a big annoyed sigh and then rolling over in huff: Fine! Go back to sleep!

W: A, the rocketship is taking off, hurry!

A: alright! And then we can start the scientific research!

W: yeah!

W, at 38 miles in to our 1000 mile trip: Are we almost there?

W: when you are hungry, you eat. When you are not hungry, you sleep.

Yup, that's pretty much her life in a nutshell.

A is on a roll tonight! "Mama, you are being the kind of mama I want to be when I am a mama."

A: Mama, I love it when you laugh, your laugh is so joyful to me.

The girls are looking at some pics, one of which is of Daddy making a ridiculous face. A starts laughing and says, "there's the most humiliating picture of Daddy on here!"

W: When I'm a mama someday, if somebody spits I will tell them they don't get anymore gum.

A: Mama, I love you infinitive. That's like the biggest number.

(Let me preface this story by saying that we have a very large walk in shower, and the girls and I take showers together most times)

We are in the shower when A suddenly exclaims "W just PEED on me! For real, not pretend."

I look at W in shock, who laughs maniacally.

I tell her to apologize and she does, and help A scrub down very well.

A little while later, W asks A something, to which A replies, "I don't know. I'm still a little mad at you about the peeing."

So I tell her that yes, it was gross, and yes, I understand being angry, but that Yeshua wants us to forgive each other and she did apologize. I then tell her the story about forgiving 7 x 70.

A in consternation says, "I really don't think I can count that high."

A out of the blue says, "W, say something I don't understand." Immediately W replies, "My foot is over there!" Good job, W. Good job.

A is playing with some monkeys. She just said, "Stink monkeys are going to stink it up." Then glanced up at me and said excitedly, "there's another great t-shirt for you!"

W burped in the car today and then laughed maniacally. Astarted laughing really hard too and said, "You just have two disgusting sweet little girls, Mama!"

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.
