Having trouble with my printer so was explaining to Evie how I need a new one but it will have to wait til after Christmas cuz I don’t have any money. Her advise:
“You should just wish for one for Christmas instead!”
This started as stuff Evie has said that I've remembered to write down. If only I had started sooner. I've missed things like "I almost agot", "Mmmmm, goot", "Farshfellows are yummy, yummy, yummy", "All the people", "Hubba, Hubba, Hubba", "Baa Baa Boo", "Cowabunga, Dude!", "A Lion Guard Bliund Bag", "I do it", "Oh, yaaaah", "I'm a Haidband Haid", "Dey Cazzy". As of 2017, we've added stuff Andy says, too. I sometimes forget to post it before I've forgotten what they said or did so this is by no means all the funny things that have happened. And you also don't get to see the looks on their faces, the tone of voice they used or the hand gestures that go along with it. I wish I'd had something like this for my kids!

I told Evie I had a present for Mama’s birthday that she could give to her but it was heavy. Meanwhile her dollhouse arrived in a big box. She saw it and thinking it was Mama’s present, told me it was “perfect!” even tho she had no idea what it was. She then counted bottom to top from 1 to 8 and said:
“Wow, it’s 8 meters. You did a great job with it!”
My new FM Transmitter has a voice that says ‘Waiting for pairing’ every time I start the car. We’re in the car leaving Story Time. I start the car and am getting everything ready so we can leave. Evie from the backseat says:
“Waiting for going” with the FM Transmitter’s voice and inflection.
Evie planned a whole party for me for my birthday. They took me out to dinner but she planned the rest of it. Mom made me a cake that Evie picked out and helped to decorate. She had party hats that she set at each place at the table. She insisted there be candles for my cake and even ‘wrapped’ up one of her toys with ‘paper’ and ‘ribbon’ so I’d have a present to open. How sweet is that?
Evie – “Last time when Dad plomped me on the couch, I woke up and said ‘Where am I?’ “
Nana – “Oh, I don’t remember that.”
Evie – “It was next week.”
Nana – “They have a bridge in China made out of glass. It’s like a window. That would scare the heck outta me.”
Evie – “Don’t look down!”
Evie – “I don’t know what we’re going to give you for a present.”
Nana – “Oh, you don’t have to give me anything. You’re all the present I need.”
Evie – “Nana, I’m not wrapped!”
Evie – “Where did you learn the word hoot?”
Nana – “It’s kind of an old fashioned word. Like discomblooberated or catewampuss.”
Evie – “Oh, like crooked.”
Evie – “I did it myself and I didn’t get pissy about it or nothin’!”
