Superhero

"Mommy, I want to be a superhero someday. With my blanket. And if you get stuck in a tree, I will come outside and fly up there and get you and you will be safe. And then if I get stuck in a tree, you can come outside and fly up there and save me. OK? Do you promise that?"

My Little Entrepreneur

Out from the play room this morning came a little 3-year-old with a basket full of plastic vegetables.

"Mommy, would you like a cookie?" Kaley asked, handing me something that looked remarkably like a small, green bell pepper.

"Sure, I'd love a cookie," I replied. I took the "cookie," pretended to eat it, then handed it back to her. "Wow, Kaley, that cookie was delicious!"

"I'm going to sell them," she informed me.

"You are? That's a great idea! You're starting your own business?"

"Yes," she stated as she walked back toward the play room. "I'm going to sell them to my Grandma."

Appetite

I was in the shower this morning and heard a knock at the door. When I answered, Keira opened the door and stood there next to Kaley. Keira looked mildly confused, and Kaley looked oddly innocent.

Keira: "Mommy, Kaley wants to eat the ornaments."

Me: "What?"

Keira: "She wants to eat the ornaments."

Me: "Um, Kaley, we don't eat ornaments."

Keira: (to Kaley) "See?"

Kaley: "Awwww..."

Correction

"Mommy, it's not Feliz Lollipop. It's Feliz La-Dee-Da."

Sweet

"I picked you to be my mommy because I knew you were going to be the snuggliest."

~ Keira

Who, me??

Keira: "I didn't bite her. I just bit her thumb."

Sticky

Kaley: "Mommy, I have something sticky on my thumb and I have to get it off."

Me: "You do? Where did it come from?"

Kaley: "My nose. Here you go."
