Double Jeopardy

Alex Trebek: This Italian explorer was the first European to sail into New York harbor.

Hannah: DORA! Dora the Explorer! It was Dora the Explorer mom!

Answer: Verrazano

Me: Good try Hannah...you were very close, but I think Dora's Spanish.

An observation

Hannah got a happy meal today...a rare occurrence...and inside was a transformers toy: Optimus Prime.

Hannah: Momma, I got Octopus Prime!
Me: That's great!
Hannah: Mom?
Me: Yes?
Hannah: Octopus Prime is a robot.
Me: Yup.
Hannah: Robots don't have a place to pee.
Me: Do you suppose that's a problem?
Hannah: No, silly, they're robots!
Me: Ok then.

Did anyone expect that she wouldn't be a smart ass?

Me at the grocery store: "Hannah, please stay right with me."

Hannah proceeds to wander off while yelling, "Hey Mom, what are you looking for?!"

Me: "Hannah just stay with me please."

Hannah: "Is that what you're looking for Mom, some Hannah-just-stay-with me? Is that what you were looking for, huh?!"

It's already begun.

She didn't ask.

Before entering Target, I told Hannah that if she asked for anything, she'd be getting nothing.

Hannah, immediately upon entering: "OHHH, Momma! Can I have...
Me: *glare*
Hannah: ...a hug?\
Me: surrrrre.
Hannah, casually: Hey Mom?
Me: Yeah.
Hannah: I sure to like that toy. I wish I could have it sometime but not right now but maybe later or something.

It's been a while...

...she didn't stop being funny; life just caught up with us.

/end excuse.

At the grocery store, to reward her for her good behavior, I purchased for her her favorite candy: Sweedish Fish. Yeah, I don't get it, but whatever...I suppose there could be worse things. In the car on the way home:

"Mommy, thank you for buying me these Sweedish Fish."
"You're welcome baby...I thought you should have them because you were so good at the store!"
"You mean, I was..um...considering?"
"Pardon?"
"I was considering you, right?!"
"Yes, you were being very considerate, thank you!"
"Yes. I was. Also, you were considering me when you got me these Sweedish Fish."
"Yes, I suppose I was!"
"Here Mommy...this Sweedish Fish is your Sweedish fish for considering me. That was a good job!"

I ate it even though I don't really like them. I love her.

Thanks for the update

3:30AM today: "Momma? Momma? Momma?"

"Yes?"

"See how long my hair is getting!? It's getting REALLLY LONG!"

"That's great baby, can you please go to sleep now?"

Points for using the word correctly

This is actually from a few days ago, but I've been busy.

I arrived at preschool to Hannah's teacher pulling me aside and in hushed tones relating the following:

"While Hannah and another friend were in the bathroom, the other little girl had some trouble wiping and got some feces on her hand."
"Ok?"
"Hannah told her not to worry about it, that it was just shit."
"huh, well, at least she used it correctly. I mean, I never do that, so I'm not sure where she even heard it where it wasn't the result of injury or panic."

Upon reflection, boyfriend and I think it was probably when someone referenced cat or dog shit. We're not entirely sure.
