Daddy works

Me: Joe, turn down the TV!
-nothing-
Me: Joe! Turn down the TV!
-nothing-
Elise: Mommy, Joe doesn't listen. Daddy works better. Try that.

More potty stories

On the way to the zoo, Elise suddenly had to go poopy RIGHT NOW. So we pulled into Walgreens not knowing that you needed manager approval to use the restroom.
We're waiting in the back for the manager and she grabs a huge container of Miralax off the shelf and blurts out "Hey mommy! You like this medicine, don't you!?!" (huh?)
Then the manager opens the door to the back break room and she tells him "Wow. It sure is dirty back here. Why don't you clean it up?"
After all that she only had to fart.

Sleeping in.

Me: "Wow! You slept really late this morning!"
Elise: "Yep. I think my healthy body is trying to grow."

Potty Talk

Saturday afternoon after running errands we decided to go out for dinner. Since we were in public of course it's important for any 3 year old to try out the bathroom.
So she's sitting there trying when someone else walked in.
She says, "Is somebody in here?" quite loudly to get the full effect of the echo in the restroom.
I reminded her that people do not like to chat while going pee. They need a little privacy.
She shouts over the wall, "OK. Well, remember to wipe down down down so your pee won't hurt!!!"

Thank God the lady had children of her own.

Daddy needs soap in his mouth

Last night Elise was asking Daddy about bad words.
She said “Is what the heck a bad word?”
Daddy: No.
Elise: Is God a bad word?
Daddy: Not really, but it’s better to say Gosh so we don't upset anyone.
Elise: (keep in mind she can’t say Fs) Is hor huck’s sake a bad word?
Daddy: Don’t say that ever.
Elise: But we say that daddy. You and me. Mommy doesn’t say that.

Pink Eye

We got the dreaded call from daycare yesterday that Elise had pink eye.
I called her Dr, set up and appointment and went to pick her up. On the way to the Dr's office she says "Hey mommy, I know what would make my eyes feel better!"
Me "Oh yeah? What would that be?"
Elise "Pancakes from IHOP. Pancake from IHOP make eyes all better."

My shoes

Just got home from daycare with my independent girl.
M: Do you need help taking off your shoes?
E: These shoes belong to me. I wear my shoes. I am in charge of my shoes. I will take off my shoes all by myself. You have your own shoes to take off.

OK then.
