Peanut's little brother was crawling all over mommy and clawing, pinching and pulling her hair...

Mommy: "Ouch, that really hurts!"

Peanut: "What did he do mommy?"

Mommy: "He pulled my hair"

Peanut: "I don't want him to pull my hair. Cause then I'll look like daddy"

Mommy: "Do you mean because daddy has no hair?"

Peanut: "Yup, if I had no hair I'd look like daddy, but I want to look like me!"

Peanut was on the computer making and coloring a picture. She placed a few lions on the page....

Peanut: "Look mommy, look at all the lions, they're in a proud of lions because they're proud."

a tough audience

After school on the way home, mommy asked Peanut how show and tell went...

Mommy: "What did some of your friends bring in for show and tell?"

Peanut: "Uhhhh, one kid brought in a guy with yellow teeth and mean eyes from Buzz Lightyear"

Mommy: "Oh, the bad guy Zurg?"

Peanut: "I dunno, does he have yellow teeth and mean eyes?"

Mommy: "I think so"

Peanut: "Then yup...but the teacher tried to kiss him"

Mommy: "She did?!"

Peanut: "Yes, she tried to kiss him to make him happy and not mean anymore"

Mommy: "That's pretty silly. Did everyone laugh?"

Peanut: "Yes. But I didn't. The other kids laughed but I didn't cause I didn't think it was very funny"

show n tell

Peanut's started pre-pre-school, and in both of her first two classes they've asked her to bring in something for show and tell, first something blue, and then something red. The next class she'll need to bring something yellow. Sitting at the table for lunch and discussing what she'd bring that is yellow...

Peanut: "Maybe after this time they'll tell me to bring in a toy with a baby human shape, cause I've got one of those and they've never seen that color before!"

talent agent

Peanut was playing on her pretend cell phone when daddy overheard the end of her conversation...

Peanut: "....I'm sorry, you're gonna need to find some talent. Goodbye"

blueblue

Peanut was starting her pre-pre-school and needed to bring in something blue for show and tell.

Peanut: "I know something that's blue that I can bring in"

Mommy: "Oh ya? What?"

Peanut: "BLUE!" referring to her stuffed animal character of "Blue" the dog from the television show - what a smarty she is!

first day of pre-pre-school

Peanut started pre-pre-school today. Mommy picked her up after her 2 hours in class...

Mommy: "So, did you have fun?"

Peanut: "Yup!"

Mommy: "What did you do?"

Peanut: "I don't remember"

Mommy: "You don't remember anything you did?"

Peanut: "Nope"

Mommy: "Did you make new friends?"

Peanut: "Yes!"

Mommy: "What are their names?"

Peanut: "I don't remember"

Mommy: "Did you sing songs?"

Peanut: "Nope, the teachers did but we didn't"

Mommy: "Well, I'm glad you had fun"

Peanut: "Yes, but mommy, it was really really really really really really really really really really really really...long"

Mommy: "What do you mean it was long?"

Peanut: "It was a long day, I thought it should have ended, it was too long for school"

little consumer

Peanut's been introduced to a new television station of Family Junior, which plays kids shows that are a little older and of course has advertisements for all kinds of great new toys that she of course needs all of. One of the commercials was for a contest with a grand prize of a trip to the House of Barbie in Shanghai, China. Whenever it's on, Peanut asks mommy if we can go there, to which mommy replies, no, it's in China...

Peanut: "Dad, if I break my scooter will you get me a Hannah Montanna scooter?"

Daddy: "Yes"

Peanut: "And if I break the Hanna Montanna scooter will you buy me the house of Barbie scooter? You don't have to get it at China, you just have to get it at a store."

hungry man

Mommy and daddy were driving to the store when they decided to stop to grab a coffee from Tim Hortons.

Peanut: "Ya man, lets eat, I'm hungry"

good n plenty

At the grocery store mommy told Peanut to grab a box of dinosaur oatmeal (her favorite). As she pulled the box off the shelf and put it into the cart she noted the following....

Peanut: "Yup, this one looks like it's got plenty of oatmeal in it"

commotion communication

While we were having lunch, Peanut's brother was making all kinds of loud yelling noises and Grandpa came into the kitchen....

Grandpa: "Who's making all that noise?"

Peanut: "It's my brother Grandpa, but he's not making noise, he's making a commotion"

Grandpa: "Oh really?"

Peanut: "Yes, he's making a commotion and it's exasperating!"

brothergies

Mommy was tending to a fussy baby who was making a whole lotta noise while daddy was trying to get Peanut into bed. Daddy closed the door to the room and was tucking Peanut into her bed...

Peanut: "Why'd you close the door daddy?"

Daddy: "Oh, because I was just getting a little tired of your brother's yelling"

Peanut: "Oh. I'm getting tired of his yelling too daddy. Actually, I think I'm allergic to his yelling."

Daddy: "You're allergic to it?"

Peanut: "Ya, you know like how grandma is allergic to dogs and cats, well I think I'm allergic to my brother's yelling"

Daddy: "So, how does it make you feel?"

Peanut: "It makes me kind of angry and timed"

Daddy: "Timed? What does timed mean?"

Peanut: "You know how when you get in a time out and you feel frustrated? Well, that's what timed is like"

oh woe is me

Peanut was in a time out for misbehaving at dinner time. While up in her room, she was yelling and screaming to get out. Mommy went up to listen to what it was she was saying without Peanut knowing that she was there. (The uppercase words are what she was yelling down to mommy, the lowercase is her talking to herself in the saddest little voice between cries).......

Peanut: "MOMMY! CAN YOU COME UP HERE I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!...oh, she can't even hear me because she's too busy talking to grandma and grandpa and daddy.....MOMMY! I WANNA TELL YOU....oh, I can't even say it......MOMMY! CAN YOU PLEASE COME UP HERE FOR A MINUTE!....oh, she can't even believe me.....MOMMY! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!....she can't hear me and I'm so sad about it....MOMMY!"

when mommy goes out with friends

Mommy went out for dinner with some friends which only happens once in a blue moon. Peanut didn't want mommy to go, so while mommy was gone she decided to make up a song while playing on her computer game...

Peanut: "I lost my mommy, I love her ever when she's lost, I want my mommy back and I love her and I'm lost in the woods"

Later when mommy got home and daddy told her about Peanut's song...

Mommy: "That's a really good song Peanut"

Peanut: "Thank you! It's called 'Lost in the woods'"
