Storing Up for Winter

With all the bustle of the holidays, I've had to store up Kirienne quotations like a veritable chipmunk, trying to remember where I put these little golden verbal acorns. I'm sure there have been many more than these, but these are my favorites:

LaMama straps Kirienne into her car seat and hands her her Leapster to play with.

"What do you say?" I ask

K hesitates and then says "You're welcome!"

"You're welcome?," I ask... correctively

"Well," she says, in her personally-created southern drawl, "Ah was gonna say 'Thank you' but then ah changed mah mahnd!"

º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º 

"Mommy, do you know that "demolish" is another word for "destroy"?

º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º 

I was using a funny little pig-shaped hand vacuum for table crumbs, and K asked Brien what that sound was.

"Mom's using her pig," he said.

K replied, "Let's just call it a mammal, OK, Daddy?"

º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤º º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º 

K and Nene were talking about swimming class. 

K says, "I was in that class last year... but this year, they moved me up."

Happy New Year, everybody!
