ridiculous

Peanut was avoiding taking a number 2 because she thought it would hurt. After having a complete tantrum/fit on the toilet she realized that it wasn't actually that bad....

Peanut: "Oh, it's not really hurting, it's not bad mommy"

Mommy: "Oh Peanut, you're ridiculous sometimes"

Peanut: "Am I ever!"

problem solved

Peanut was pretending that her stuffed bear was a baby bear, who sometimes bites. Mommy, playing along, pretended that he bit her, so did grandma and grandpa and daddy. Peanut took him into the other room for a bit then came back...

Peanut: "You can pet him again"

Mommy: "Why, is he listening now? Did you teach him not to bite?"

Peanut: "No, I just took his teeth out cause I was mad at him so he can't bite you anymore"

the mean mads

Mommy was playing with Peanut when Peanut got a little carried away (as she sometimes does) with playing the part of a mean character in the game....

Mommy: "Ok Peanut, I'm not going to play anymore because you're playing mean"

Peanut: "But I'll play nice now"

Mommy: "Why do you always have to make one person mean in your games? Why can't they just play nice?"

Peanut: "Well, cause sometimes the mean just comes into my head and it thinks that I want it in there but I don't want it there so I just get mad cause that's how you get the mean out by being mad"

Computer issues

Peanut was playing on the computer when it froze so bad that even control-alt-delete wasn't working....

Mommy: "Were you clicking a lot of things?"

Peanut: "ummmmm, no"

Mommy: "How long was the computer not working before you told us?"

Peanut: "1 year, January 6th I guess, I dunno"

cccccc--ccc--cold

Mommy had promised to take Peanut to the library but it was really cold outside that day...

Mommy: "Is it ok if we go to the library tomorrow instead? Because it's really really cold outside today"

Peanut: "But mommy, you said we could go to the library this day! We can dress up really warmly with sweaters"

Mommy: "I know, but it's really cold outside today so maybe we should stay in and we can go tomorrow instead"

Peanut: "Well mommy, we can wear our snowpants and dress in all our snow clothes"

Mommy: "Well, your baby brother and I don't really have snowpants and all that warm stuff"

Peanut: "Well mommy, you just need to trust your body. If you go outside and you feel cold you just tell your body it's ok and you'll wear a sweater and you'll be warm and your body will tell you 'I'm not too cold for the library'"

counting peanuts

Peanut: "One, two, free, four, five............ .......twenty nine, twenty ten............ eighty one........eighty nine....uhhhh....... seventeen! Seventeen-one, seventeen two........ seventeen nine..... uhhhh, sixty........sixty nine....uhhhh....... Fivety, fivety one, fivety two....."

bedtime impatience

Daddy was trying to put Peanut to bed. We've moved in with Grandma and Grandpa until our new house is ready and it's a little confusing for Peanut, she thinks it's a vacation...

Daddy: "You're beautiful and so smart and you need your sleep everyday."

Peanut: "But sleeping takes so long in grandma and grandpa's world"

Daddy: "You just need to go to sleep tonight so that you can play tomorrow. God gives us a new day tomorrow to start all over again"

Peanut: "I wish God would hurry up! He is taking forever with this morning time!"

eye resting

Peanut: "You should go to sleep right now daddy, you need to rest your eye balls so they don't fall out!"

Christmas caroling

Peanut was singing Away in a Manger and got a little mixed up with her Christmas songs...

Peanut: "Away in a manger, no place for a babe, the little lord Jesus asleep on the hay, the stars in the night sky looked down where he lay, he's making a list..."

She sang another rendition later on...

Peanut: "The little lord Jesus asleep in his crib, the little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head, the angel came to Jesus and said you are good, Jesus like what the angel had said, then the angel went to Mary and Joseph and they were happy that the angel came there"

In hand

Peanut and mommy were having a talk about her recent behaviour...

Mommy: "Peanut, you need to behave, you're being disrespectful and acting out"

Peanut: "But I was so good at grandma and grandpa's with my cousins"

Mommy: "I know Peanut, but even then you had your moments, sometimes you just get out of hand"

Peanut: "Well, now I wanna be in hand"

the freak out

Peanut: "Daddy, I know you told me not to freak...but I'm FREAKING OUT!"
