10-11-11 Milly's First Real Submission

Not because of its wisdom or humor or irony - just because it *is*

Milly was trying to grab some papers in the car - the small note size papers her day care provider sends home each day - and was getting frustrated.

I said "Goodness why are you so angry?"
To which, clear as a bell, she told me "I can't get my notes." Not "No can get notes" - but a full grammatically set sentence.  Before this we were lucky to get "Tank ew Co-wah".

Ryan looked at me - I looked at him and he said "Did you just hear what I heard?"  So, as a test I turned around and said to Milly - "Do you want me to take your notes and put them away?"

She responded:  "No, I wanna keep notes." 

Wow.  Just wow.

Cora (driving past a car dealership): Mom! That flag is ger-my-mus (ginormous). What is the word for it? 

Me: You just said it - its a flag. 

Cora: No there's a more special word for it. {thinks} I remember! Its called a 'Merican Flag. That means its very important. That is a very special kind of flag.

Cora Today:  Mom, I have like 55 friends! And did you know some are boyfriends? Yeah. Quintin tried to kiss me under the table the other day and I was all like "No way dude". I said "are you trying to kiss me??" And he said "I'm not only trying to kiss you, I'm going to MARRY you." I said "dream on dude."
