Evie – “Dada, after your birthday I’m gonna be 5.
Dad – “That’s right. And do you know how old I’ll be?”
Evie – “No, how old?”
Dada – “35!”
Evie – “You won’t even be able to fit in the house!”
Kids
She has these two pieces of styrofoam, a plastic drawer organizer and a flower that are her ‘kids’, Charles, Tails, Rachel, Eloise and Margaret. Today she told her mother:
“Yup, I’m a mom. That’s the long and short of it!”
Flight Lesson
So Evie’s got this cash register and it has a mic. I guess it’s like for price checks and such. But we keep hearing this:
“Is everybody boarded, let’s have a good flight!”
While Blowing Her Nose
Mama- “Blow.” “Blow.” “Again.” “Blow, again.”
Evie – “Mama, I’m pretty much empty.”
Christmas Eve Dinner
Evie – “Dinner’s ready, Nana.”
Nana – “No it’s not!?”
Evie – “Well, could you just come so I don’t have to call you later?”
I Can Do Anything
Evie – “I can do anything!”
Nana – “That’s right. It might take some practice but you can do anything if you try.
Evie – “I can already do some of the things I can’t!”
Moms
Evie – “You were his Mom.”
Dad – “What is she now, then, if she’s not my Mom still.”
Evie, after a couple moments of thought – “Old Mom?”
Unprofessional
Mama told me the following story.
“The cats were fighting. Evie walked up to them and said ‘Hey, guys, haven’t we talked about this? This is unprofessional retirement!'”
Hamburger Hash
Having my lunch and she asked me what it was and could she see it. I told her it was Hamburger Hash and it was really good with lots of good stuff in it. I tipped up my bowl, she took one look at it and said:
“My tummy doesn’t relate to that yet!”
Hair Drying
Nana – “Did you get your bath last night?”
Evie – “Yeah, I got my hair dried.”
Nana – “Oh, yeah. How’d that feel? Nice and warm I bet.”
Evie – “It’s not so bad”
