Out of their mouths:

We were talking about the game 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader' and I said, "I passed 5th grade, so I hope I am smarter than a 5th grader". Lauryn thought about this for a second and then said, "Dad definitely is smarter than a 5th grader but Mom, I'm not so sure about you."

At church, they had the girls answer questions about their mom for Mothers Day. When they asked Brinn "I think my mom looks like...." she answered, "grandma". The next question: "I wish she would...." "Look like me".

While at the ward Christmas party, someone asked, "What's for dinner?" Brinn blurted out - "It smells like dead pig!" They were serving ham.

I was walking Brinn to preschool one day and she said, "I don't want to go to school today. I don't like it."

"Yes you do" I said, "you love school!"

She then sarcastically replied, "Mom, does it look like I have a smile on my face?"

-March 2009

Brinn came up to me, gave me a big hug and said very kindly "Mom, you are an expert at everything!"

"Oh, isn't she sweet" I thought. Without pausing she followed with: "You are even an expert at mean".

-February 2009

Cameron was trying to pay me a compliment and said to the kids "Do you know you have the cutest mom?"

Silence.

Cameron: "How come I don't hear 'Yes - she is'!"

Lauryn: "Because I didn't know that."

Brinn was pounding on the piano and said, "Mom, come listen to my new song. It's called Miserable Happiness" -December 2008

Cameron: "What did you learn in nursery today?"

Brinn: "I can't tell you - we talked about secret stuff."

Cameron: "Oooh, what kind of secret stuff?"

Brinn: (said with every ounce of attitude she has - which is a lot!) "I wont tell you Dad. Now I know something you don't!" -November 2008

Lauryn: "I don't believe in ghosts, no way! And I don't believe in witches, No, No, No. But I sure believe in pumpkins!" -October 2008

We were shopping and I put something in the cart. Brinn got all excited and exclaimed, "I've always wanted one of those! ...... I think". - August 2008

Lauryn was watching Little House on the Prairie and asked "Mom, I thought you said this was a pioneer show."

"It is." I replied.

"Then why is that guy wearing clothes that look like Dads?!"

(Sorry Cam - it might be time for a new look! :D)

Brinn had just passed gas at the dinner table and Cameron asked her what she was doing. Her reply: "Bum-bum talking."
