Anne Marie says...

From Redfish 2010

I know all kids say cute things, but the stuff that comes out of my daughter's mouth is just something else. Here's some examples:

"Mama, I guess XXXX(kid from daycare) and I are in love." When I ask who told her that, she says, "I don't know. No one. Whatever."

"Mama, I love the slide so much I can hardly speak. I will always hold the slide in my hand." I have no idea what this means, but it's very dramatic.

Listening to a radio ad about something being a "rip-off". "Mama, watch out! The rip-offs could take your house."

Listening to NPR, where the host introduces a comedian by saying where you could "bump into him." "Oh no Mama, they're going to bump into him! They shouldn't bump into him."

Listening to NPR, with back-to-back stories about a cop-killer and a recall of pain killers. "Oh no, mama, a cop killer. OH NO MAMA, A PAIN KILLER!"


Talking to her brother: "Perhaps we should play 'Ring around the Rosy."

Driving in the car. "Where are we?" me: Blackfoot Anne Marie: Oh, I have never seen this beautiful place called Blackfoot!

Just a note — Blackfoot isn't really all that beautiful, and she has been there before. She just likes to add some excitement now and then.
