Four year olds say the funniest things

 

"Hmmmm . . . I think we need to go to Maliformia."

--- TJPS, looking at a scrap of fabric that he is using as a "map" during some heavy-duty concentrated play with Diego this afternoon.

****

"Me and Diego have a TON of grandmas and grandpas!"

--- Truen, on the phone with his Grandma O. this past week.

****

"I don't want to call him Stinky anymore . . . I just want to call him Babezilla."

--- Truby, in all earnesty, last week.

****

"Mama, did we butcher Thunderheart...?  That is a chicken I used to love."

--- Truby, checking in about Thunderbird, his favorite hen (though he mixed the name up with a mama-bear in an audio book that we recently listened to).  We didn't butcher her, we sold her, which comforted him.

****

"I was outside sniffing the air and it smelled nice and wonderful!"

-- TJPS, on a crisp October morning.

****

"Take this away...  I is full and the bugs is not!"

--- TJPS, refusing to finish a donut his Daddy brought home for him.

Blowing out the candles on his 4th birthday,
Wearing his favorite "bowling shirt".

Dada: "Yuck!  These aren't sweet enough.  What a disappointment.  Here."  (Hands a Charantis melon to Truen, who is notorious for feasting on half-ripe melons of all kinds.)

Truen: "This is your fruit, so it is your problem to eat it."

****

Truen: "My poop is yellow sometimes when my tummy hurts."

Diego: "My poop is black!"

Truen: "It's camouflage poop!"

****

"My name is Truen Pun'kin Julie!"

--- You know who, this summer.
