Whenever someone comments on how long her hair has grown, she says, "I'm growing it to be long like my Aunt Therese." She also likes to point out that when her hair is long, it will also be a beautiful brown like Aunt Therese's dark hair. According to Lola, Therese is my "sister" and Nick is just some guy Therese married.

One of our neighbors loves to decorate for patriotic holidays. He borders his lawn with two dozen small American flags, while displaying a large individual flag for each branch of the military. Curious about his flags, Lola asked why each of the military flags had a different image on them. As I explained the differences between each military branch ("the people who serve in the army are called soldiers, some people in the air force are pilots," etc.), she listened carefully and then said, "Wait! Tell me more about the rogers!" It took several questions from me to determine that she really wanted to know more about soldiers, I mean, rogers.

She refuses to call hot dogs, "hot dogs." Instead, she prefers the term "weenies." Of course, she also uses it incessantly. During her school camp out, she peppered her friend with comments about his hot dog.
"What are you going to put on your weenie?" "Do you want ketchup on your weenie?" "I only like weenies with mustard." "Look at Ms. Lindi's weenie!" "That weenie has relish!"

Love it. Matthew and Michaela refer to his "weenie" as a "weebie". I've taken it and run with it. Dave is a perturbed.
