Be Safe

On the way out the door tonight:

Laura: Be safe.
Sophia: She said, "Be safe."
Me: Yup, we don't want anybody to get hurt.
Sophia: I won't hurt you. I'm a nice girl.
Me: I'm feeling safer already : )

Knock Knock. Who Who?

We're teaching Sophia a new knock-knock joke because she's worn out the "Boo, who?" / "Why are you crying?" one:
Laura: Knock, knock.
Sophia: Who's there?
Laura: Who.
Sophia: Who?
Laura: No, you say, "Who, who?"
Sophia: Are you an owl?
Me: Haha, she turned it on you!....

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreaming Toddler

Sophia: Mama can I take a class?
Laura: What kind of class?
Sophia: A class where I can sing “Joseph”?
Laura: I think that’s called a choir, but you’d have to sing other things besides “Joseph”...
(Sophia looks very unhappy about this.)

Cottage Cheese Angel

My daughter is an angel, 
a cottage cheese licking, flinging, stomping, head-butting, freaking out for more food when she's got plenty already little angel. 
So after some time-out:

Me: What do you say, honey?
Sophia: Sorry.
Me: Sorry for what?
Sophia: What did I do?....

(You see? An innocent little angel ; )

Twizzlers

I buy Twizzlers at the video rental store:
Sophia: Those are naughty treats.
Me: Yes they are.
Sophia: They’re very naughty.
Me: I know.
Sophia: Can you give me some?
Me: But they’re naughty treats.
Sophia: I love them so much.
Me: I do too, honey....

Bad Dream Buffet

Sophia: I had a bad dream last night.
Laura: What did you dream?
Sophia: I dreamed that there was a chicken in my bed...and then there was ketchup in my bed...and then there was tea in my bed...and then there was soup in my bed, and I couldn't clean it up.
Laura: It sounds like a nightmare for me.
(I better go check her bed...)

Love Schmuv

Sophia: What rhymes with "loves"?
Me: Loves, doves, gloves, schmuvs.
Sophia: Does "moms" rhyme with "loves"?
Me: No, but close enough.
