From Micah:

Upon opening a birthday present: "I've been wanting this for years and years!"

To a friend following Mercy's birthday last week: "Did you know that my dog is 63 years old?"

From Si:

I sent Cookie Dough Brownies with Si to co-op on Monday to share for his birthday last week. He told his teachers: "If you want the recipe, maybe you could search for it on google.com." (like we let him do that...)

The Cinderella saga continues...

Early yesterday morning from seemingly nowhere Emerie asks, "Mama - can I go to your castle? Pwease, Mom, Pwease?"
Me: "Go to my castle? I don't have a castle, honey. Do you have a castle?"
Emerie: "Yeah"
Me: "I see. Is it beautiful?"
E: "Yeah"
Me: "Where is your castle?"
E: "My castle's at the mall..."
Me: "At the mall?"
E: "Yeah, I go to my castle at the mall and I be a ballewina there."
Me: "A ballerina?"
E: "Yeah and Daddy come and dance with me."
Me: "Daddy?"
E: "And my bwothers..."
Me: "Your brothers?"
E: "and Cwis and Andwea"

As long as we're all invited.
