Stuff the Grandkids say – Page 29 – 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!

Her New Room

I redid her room. Seems like it was a hit.

The Attacking Fog

On their trip, the ‘rents see this in front of them and hear from Evie in the backseat:

“Um, guys, is it just me or is that fog heading straight for us!”

Trust Issues

Evie came to ask me if I was available to sit with her for her nap but then said:

“Actually, I think I want to go to sleep by myself.”

I said “Oh, really. Can you be trusted to go right to sleep like you’re supposed to?” Her shoulders went down and with a look of resignation on her face she says:

“OKaaay, fine. You can sit with me.”

Measurementer

We were cleaning up Evie’s room. I gave her a ruler that said Pez on it and tried to convince her it should go in the Pez bin. She said:

“No, it should go in the tools bin cuz it’s a measurementer.”

Smart kid!

Christmas Wish

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!”

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

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.

Party Planner

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?

Where Am I?

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.”
