Evie – ” Remember when we went to Chick-Fil-A?”
Nana – “No, I don’t think you went there with me. You probly went with someone else.”
Evie – “No, you went! I think you just don’t remember cuz you’re old!”
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!

While watching a commercial:
Nana – “Don’t text and drive!!!”
Evie – “Unless your car can drive itself.”
Nana – “Oh, oh. I didn’t think about the soft feel of your boots. You’ll ruin them on the grass and in the sand. I shouldn’t have bought those ones with the soft material.”
Evie – “But they’re cute!”
Evie – “Is Young Sheldon the same as Old Sheldon on that Bing Bang Theory Show?”
One of my thrift stores had a sale today. I took Evie. I wanted to get her a spare hoodie and we found one she liked so I had her try it on. Her comment:
“Yeah, I wouldn’t say no to this.”
Evie – “Does the earth go around the moon?”
Nana – “No the moon goes around the earth and the earth goes around the sun and…”
Evie – “Whoa, I’m getting dizzy!”

Nana – “After you eat your lunch, I’m gonna go take a shower.”
Evie – “That’s fine. That was thought out perfectly!”
Wish you coulda seen the hand gestures, too.

Evie has this thing where every holiday where we sit down and eat together, she wants us to go around the table and say what we’re thankful for. This Christmas we started with Mom then Dad who talked about how they were thankful we could all be together and stuff. For my turn, I said how I was thankful for Mama’s salads because, seriously, she makes the best salads! When it was Evie’s turn, without hesitation or any time to think about it like we all did, she says:
“I’m thankful for my brother!”
