I still think the moon follows me

On the ride home from a friend's house tonight:

"Mommy...why are the stars all driving with us?"

And that's the way we do it.

Me: Hannah, you're my favorite girl.
Hannah: I am!? You're my favorite girl too Mama.
Me: Yeah? Well I think you're the bees knees.
Hannah: hahaha, I am the bees knees, you're right! And I think YOU are the cat's pajamas!
Me: Oh yeah? Well, I think YOU are one coooool cat!
Hannah: Oh yeah!? You do!? Well I think YOUUUU are one coool BEE!

This just in: You needn't fear the sharks

Hannah and her Dad were playing a game in which his bed was a boat and there were sharks about. They were jumping up and down and protecting one another from the shark invasion. Her Dad got a little too into it for her tastes and was "panicking" a bit too much...yelling and whatnot. When he fell on to the bed, Hannah crawled over to him and put her hands on each of his cheeks and stared into his eyes:

"Daddy! Listen to my words! The. Sharks. Are. Friendly!"

At least she didn't slap him!

On growing up...

Me: Hey Hannah, I think these sneakers are getting a little small...we better put the bigger ones on now.
Hannah: Yeah! Those sneakers are for BABIES! I'm getting bigger and I'm going to be a big girl and be all grown up and have big feet and then I can chew gum!
Me: Gum? Yeah, I guess...
Hannah: Yup, and I'll be a big sister!
Me: You think so eh? You'll be a big sister? Would you like that?
Hannah: Yup! I'll have a little brother and sister...but I'll carry them around.
Me: You'll carry them around you think? Well, that can be pretty hard work.
Hannah: I'll take care of them Mama, I'll be careful.

:)

Mission Dirty Hippy nearing completion

Hannah's Dad was wearing his Army uniform yesterday upon return from drill. Hannah looked him over...

Hannah: Why you wearing new clothes?
Hannah's Dad: These are for Daddy's new job!
Hannah: Oh.

A few seconds of staring goes by.

Hannah: I don't like those clothes.
Hannah's Dad: Oh? Why not?
Hannah: hmm...they're too fancy.
Hannah's Dad: haha, you think my clothes are too fancy?
Hannah: Yeah...they're too fancy I think a little bit.

Quotes from the zoo

"Let's go see another animal"
"Let's go see another animal"
"Let's go see another animal"
"Let's go see another animal"
"I want you to pick me up"
"Let's go see another animal"
"Let's go see another animal"
"I'm tired"
"Let's go see another animal"
"I want to ride on that train"
Once on the train ride, she cries until they stop it, then she continues to cry for a couple minutes while repeating that she doesn't like that train ride.

That night, as I tucked her into bed, I asked her what her favorite part of the zoo was.

"That train ride was my favorite, maybe we can go again tomorrow."

Well...you thought wrong, monkey

On the way home yesterday:

Hannah: I'm hungry
Me: Well, what do you want for dinner?
Hannah: ummm, I think I want cheese
Me: Sorry baby, we don't have any cheese. What else would you like?
Hannah: But I thought we did have cheese.
Me: Well, we don't!
Hannah: But I thought we did I said.
Me: I'll get some next time I go shopping. Do you want a sandwich?
Hannah: I think we have some cheese.
Me: Nope. No cheese.
Hannah: Oh. ummm...I thought we did.
Me: I'm never feeding you again.
Hannah: But I want some food!
Me: Well what do you want then!?
Hannah: ummm, I don't think we have any cheese. We need to get some at the store.
Me: Yup.
Hannah: Can I have a tomato?
