She calls Oreos, "panda cookies."

Lola enjoys going to our local garden nursery because they have a large koi pond. On a recent visit, she told me that the fish rhymed in the pond. When I prodded her about what she exactly meant, she shouted, "The fish at the nursery like to sing nursery rhymes!" Then she proceeded to look annoyed because I was unable to figure this out on my own.

She spends time every morning doing "her workout." While she is doing crunches, she'll count and then say, "Ab-ripper-X! Let's climb those legs!" (A line from P90X.)
----------
She can identify photos of Jillian Michaels.

If an object isn't operating in a way that she expects it to work (like a bottle or a container that she finds difficult to open), she will tell me, "This needs new batteries!"

Yesterday, as we were working on an alphabet puzzle, she said authoritatively, "OK. Here is the deal. This is an A."
------------
Oftentimes, she'll walk into a room, stop, cross her arms and shout, "What is going on here?" (Josh says that she gets this from me. I think he is imagining things.)

Josh and Lola are together, running errands.
Lola: I want a baby sister.
Josh: What did you say?
Lola: I want a baby. I will hold it.
Josh: What about a baby brother?
Lola: No. Baby sister. I want a baby sister.
Josh: Did your mother put you up to this?
Lola: Auntie wants a baby sister.
I think I need to do a post like this for Xander. I might even steal your title. They say some of the funniest things sometimes. I like the one about the batteries.
ReplyDeleteThese things crack me up. The thing about batteries, wanting a baby sister, and "Let's climb those legs!" - priceless!
ReplyDeleteWhich Auntie is in trouble?
ReplyDeleteI want Lola to come live with us.
Except when she's tired.
