10 Seconds

At the park today, Evie put her shovel down and a little boy picked it up to play with.  I explained that she had to let him have a turn since she had left it.  His mom told him he could play with it for 10 seconds and then he had to give it back.  From Evie I hear:

“10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1”.

The mom and I were cracking up and she had no choice but to tell her son to give it back.

Visiting With The Neighbor

Our neighbor came over today.  She came over to ask if we’d seen her cat cuz he’s been missing a few days.  He’s pretty old and she thinks he’s …ahem… gone for good.  We stood and talked with her a long time.  She told some sweet stories about the cat and stuff.  After she left, Evie gives a big sigh and says:

“Boy, we sure had a lot to talk about!”

Cash Register

The cash register Evie got for Christmas has many uses.  At one time it announced flights.  Today it was something else.  She explains:

“So this is my half baby monitor, half computer, half doggy rinser and half baby rinser.” And it shows the location of my mommy petting-giving birth zoo. I’m there right now cuz I work there.”

The thing on the left is the ‘baby scanner’ and the numbers in the display are the location of the zoo.
