Peanut: "I hope it's a girl cause I want to have a girl so I can play Barbies with her"

Mommy: "Well, it'll be a while before the baby can play Barbies"

Peanut: "Well, I'll give her one without any clothes so she doesn't choke on them"

Mommy: "I think she'd just chew and drool on the Barbie"

Peanut: "I'm going to pray to God for a girl, because God's the one who brings the humans you know"

Daddy: "Well, what's more important than if it's a girl or a boy is that the baby is healthy right?"

Peanut: "Yes, ok, God, please make sure the baby is healthy....and a girl"

hips n babies

Mommy and Peanut were sitting together on a chair, it was a little tight...

Mommy: "Is this comfy for you? It's kinda squished cause mommy's big hips"

Peanut: "Ya, why are your hips big?"

Mommy: "Cause I've had 2 babies, when you have babies your hips get wider"

Peanut: "Well, I hope you're done having babies"

Mommy: "I've got a baby in my tummy right now"

Peanut: "I know, but after this one I hope you're done"

Mommy: "Why?"

Peanut: "Cause, your hips are going to get way too big, and that might hurt you if they're too big and you can't fit in the chair"

back to school

On Peanut's first day of senior kindergarden when mommy came to pick her up from her day care after school...

Mommy: "So, how was your first day back?"

Mommy: "I didn't know he was your boyfriend."

Peanut: "Yes, because remember? He gave me makeup for my birthday so that means he's my boyfriend!"

Snap it out

Peanut was going to her best buddy's birthday party. We were picking out a card for him at the store.

Hairy

Humane Neighbor Society

Mommy was complaining about the neighbor's kids (teens) who play basketball in front of their, mostly our, house. When one spit into our garden mommy lost it.



Mommy: "Oh my goodness, they're so disrespectful, that's just gross" (definitely cleaned this one up for the blog readers)

Peanut: "Ugh, I know, I don't like them. Why do they always have to do that?"

Mommy: "Well Peanut, unfortunately you don't get to pick your neighbors"

Peanut: "Well, I wish you could!"

Mommy: "Tell me about it"

Peanut: "I wish they were all just in cages and you could go and pick which ones you want"

Peanut was reading a book to her baby brother at bedtime when she paused at a word....

Mommy: "It's 'shouted'"

Peanut: "I know, I just had to stop for a second to do something private in my mouth"

Mommy: "Something private in your mouth?"

Peanut: "Yes, I always have to stop sometimes to do that"

Mommy: "What did you have to do?"

Peanut: "It's private in my mouth. I had to swallow some spit. It always happens every now and then"

cool boots

Peanut wanted to wear her boots outside on a warm sunny day to play. These are not rain boots, but are actually suede maroon winter type zip up boots....

Mommy: "No Peanut, it's sunny and nice out, you're not wearing your boots"

Peanut: "But I want to"

Mommy: "You'll look really silly"

Peanut: "No, they make me look cool."

...She ends up losing this battle as is outside in her running shoes playing. After a while she comes inside and changes into her boots while mommy is busy with her baby bro and doesn't notice...

Dad: "Peanut, what are you wearing? I thought we told you not to wear your boots"

Peanut: "But Dad! They make me feel good, you don't understand, they change how I feel, my attitude, they make me feel braver!"

burning ears

We were eating breakfast one morning, Peanut was having oatmeal....

Playing Doctor

We were at the dr's office waiting to be seen while out of boredom and impatience, Peanut decided to play dr, mommy was her patient....

Peanut: "No, don't you have anything wrong, like any applications on your body that are hurting you?"

dinner from heaven

Peanut: "Daddy, when we go to heaven is mommy still going to make supper, or is God going to make supper?"

Daddy: "I'm not sure, we'll have to ask Him when we get there."

teeth twister

Peanut was reading (yes, she's reading now!) a story to her baby brother at bed time. She came upon the word 'tourist'....

Peanut: "I know what that word is but I'm just going to say 'customer' when I see it, cause it's too hard"

Mommy: "Why don't you just try it first? The word is 'tourist'"

Peanut: "Tourist"

Mommy: "Good job, there! You said it!"

Peanut: "Ya, but I'm still going to say customer cause it's just too hard for my tongue and my teeth"

chokeable

Daddy and Peanut were playing around...

Peanut: "You're choking me!"

Daddy: "No I'm not, I'm not even near your neck, I'm holding your belly"

Peanut: "Well, I'm very sensitive to choking"

give a dog a bone

Peanut has a TON of stuffed animals, and every day of school she feels it's completely necessary to bring in one for show and tell, (even tho there isn't always show n tell planned). This particular day she chose a stuffed dog. She was explaining to daddy what his name was....

Peanut: "This puppy's name is 'Puppy Puppy Puppy Adopted' and I'm taking him in for show and tell today. My other puppy upstairs in my bed's name is Boner."

Daddy: "Maybe we won't bring that one in for show and tell"

Mommy walked into the kitchen and daddy asked Peanut to tell mommy what she just told him. Peanut repeated the lovely names for her puppies.

Mommy: "Where did you get the name 'Boner' from?"

Peanut: "I just made it up myself!"

Daddy proceeded to cry and choke on his cheerios.

wrinkles at 5

Peanut's bangs are getting long and are almost in her eyes. At the table one day Daddy brushed the to the side so her hair wouldn't be in her eyes...

Peanut: "NO! Don't do that, I like them in front"

Daddy: "Why? They're in your eyes, doesn't that bug you?"

Peanut: "Because it hides the lines"

Daddy: "What lines?"

Peanut: "The ones on my head see, when I do this (raises eyebrows) there's lines there and I don't like that"

Daddy: "Are you serious?! Everyone has lines there when they do that, if not how would you know if someone was surprised or angry or worried?"

Peanut: "Well, I just don't like to look at it so I keep my bangs to cover them"

ham

We were having ham for dinner and we asked Peanut where she thought ham came from as she was eating it up...

Mommy and Daddy: "Where do you think ham comes from?"

Peanut: "Hamsters!"

bad stockings

Peanut was wearing stockings that were a little small for her and they kept falling down. When she'd had enough, it was evident that all those disney movies that insist on throwing in the mandatory one bad word per movie do in fact leave a lasting impression on our kids...

Peanut: "These stockings are idiot"

not a fan

Mommy was getting dinner ready in the kitchen and singing - very badly on purpose - along to a song on one of the kids favorite shows. Peanut and daddy were in the other room working on a puzzle together. Peanut leaned over and whispered to daddy....

Peanut: "her singing is pretty bad"

husbands

Lying in bed one night Peanut and daddy had the following conversation about some boys in her class....

Peanut: "ok dude, ya dude"

Daddy: "Where'd you learn that from? Does your friend Nathan say that?"

Peanut: "No, but he wants to marry me."

Daddy: "He wants to marry you?!"

Peanut: "Ya, he said he wants to marry me and kiss me"

Daddy: "Does he say that to all the girls?"

Peanut: "Nope, just me. But I'm not that into Nathan. I like Zachary"

Daddy: "You do?!"

Peanut: "Ya, he's got like 6 batmans, they're really cool. Nathan only has 2."

boring...?

Peanut has been on a huge daddy kick these past few months. Mommy was giving Peanut a bath and Peanut would have much rathered daddy do it. At the end of the bath while mommy was drying her off...

Mommy: "There, all done, sorry if it was horrible because it was boring old mommy and not daddy doing it"

Peanut: "It wasn't horrible. You're not boring mommy. Everyone's boring. Daddy's boring, even I'm boring, even chinese are boring, they just sit around and stare at Panda's all day and then they go to sleep, so boring. They sleep all day, all the time, it's all they do is sleep"

Mommy: "Where did you hear that?"

Peanut: "Nowhere, I just know it cause I'm smart and I remembered"

exotic chipmunks?

Daddy and Peanut were at McDonald's for a daddy daughter date, and the kids meal bag had ads for the Chipmunks new movie on it...

Peanut: "Look daddy! Chip n Dale's!"

Daddy: "Actually Peanut, it's called The Chipmunks"

Peanut: "Ya, well, Alvin's my favorite!"

Later on as they were walking through WalMart and see the stand with the new movie for sale...

Peanut: "Look daddy! Chip n Dales!"

Poolshark Peanut

Mommy and daddy had talked about how once the basement was finished they'd set up a pool table. Peanut must have overheard us talking about this, but never mentioned it or asked any questions. Daddy was down in the basement once it was all complete, Peanut came down to check it out...

Daddy: "So, what do you think?"

Peanut: "Looks great...but daddy...where is the water table?!"

wordsite

Peanut wanted to play on the computer and wanted to go on "playhousedisney.com" but mommy was stuck because Peanut's little brother was sleeping on her on the couch. So mommy told Peanut how to get on, and wrote all the letters down on a piece of paper for her....

Peanut: "Mommy, I tried it 3 times and its not working, I tried it once, and then again, and even again and it's only grown up stuff coming up, no games or anything."

Mommy: "You wrote exactly how I told you, playhousedisney.com and then you did enter?"

Peanut: "Yes, I did what you put on the paper, nothing is working"

Mommy: "ok, I'll come help you" (manages to get up without waking up lil bro and goes over to the computer and sees what Peanut typed in...)

In the address bar: "wwwplayhousedisneycomenter"

Taco Christmas?

Peanut has learnt a new rendition of the ever popular spanish Christmas song. It goes something like this: (written as she pronounces it)

Peanut: "felice namina, felice namina
felice namina, buenos tartos a stinky bum...."

sleeps

Over the holidays we had family come visit and stay with us and Peanut had a blast sharing her room with her cousins. When they left, she didn't like being alone in her room all night so she started a bad habit of coming into mommy and daddy's room in the middle of the night to sleep...

Mommy: "Peanut, you were up late last night and you have school tomorrow so you need to get some good sleep tonight."

Peanut: "If you want me to sleep through the night you better let me sleep in your room"

Mommy: "No, you're going to sleep in your own room and stay in there all night"

Peanut: "If I can't sleep in your room I'll wake up all night, so if you want me to rest good then you have to let me sleep in your room"

That night Peanut actually made it through the night in her own bed...

Mommy: "See, you slept in your bed all night and didn't get up, don't you feel well rested now?"

Peanut: "Yes, but I only slept good because I pretended I was in your room"

peaces of food

Mommy and Daddy were talking and joking around about something at dinner time. We were being silly and getting loud when....

Peanut: "Can you please be quiet, I'm trying to have a peaceful dinner here."
