The Things She Tells Us

"This morning, I woke up and recognized it was day time, so I got up!!!"

"Mommy, what shirt am I going to wear when I go to heaven?"

"When your tummy hurts, it's called electricity, and you have to go to the electricity doctor."

"Mommy, I colored the stool blue.  I colored it goodly."

Kenadie's prayer at bedtime, after reading We're Going On a Bear Hunt:

"Dear God, thank you for our family and thank you for keeping us safe and please help a bear not to get us and if one gets in our house, please turn it into a statue.  Amen"

"Mommy, look at Berkley, she's sitting like a gorilla."

After picking her up from her Sunday school class and asking what her story was about:

"Kay Kay, see, Jonah was swallowed by a BIG fish because he said NO to God, and that was wrong, Kay Kay.  He should have said NO sir!"

Lindsey: "Oh Kenadie, you're such a big girl drinking out of a big cup.  That makes me sad that you're growing up on me."

Kenadie: "Oh Mommy, I'll be okay.  I'm just trying to be big like you.  Can I be big like you when I grow up?

Lindsey: "Why sure you can!"

Kenadie: "Oh yay!!!"

"Berkley, when you grow up, you'll be bigger than me, but I won't mind.  I'll still love you when you're bigger than me."

Lindsey: "Would you like for me to paint your toe nails?"

Kenadie: "No thanks.  My toe nails have  faces, and when you paint them, they can't see!  That's why."

Lindsey: "Oh Kenadie, I'm tired of washing clothes." (actually was saying to myself, kinda)

Kenadie: "Well Mommy, if you're tired of washing clothes, then just stop washing."

The way she writes her name:  Kenadie ZumwaltHx  When I told her there really wasn't an "Hx" in her name, she told me "Oh Mommy, I just like to pretend that those letters are in my name."

"Mommy, come quick!  I see a spider!  It's a mean one."

(I stomp spider)

"Awww... Mommy, why did you stomp him?  He was just a mean, friendly little spider."

"Mommy, are you going to recycle me?"
