Out of the mouth of a four year old...

All within the last week.

Me:  Allie, what kind of milk do you want with dinner?  Almond or Rice?
Allie:  Ummm....Almond.  You know, just like we say at the end of our prayers in Chapel - Amen Almond!


Allie:  Here mom, smell this...This is super stinky.  It must be from Daddy.
Me:  What does it smell like?
Allie:  I don't know, but it must be from Daddy's socks.


Allie - I don't ever want a baby!!!
Me:  Why not?
Allie - 'Cause I would have to wipe poop!  Yuck!  And besides, they are too much work!


Me:  I thought you said you cleaned your room!?!
Allie:  I did.  Kids clean it different.  They clean it the way they want to.  Not the way that Mommy's do.
Me:  Well, if you want to play a (an Allie shuffled i.e. ice cream cone card will be on top and shockingly it will be her turn to go first) game of Candyland later, I think it would be a good idea to clean it the way that Mommy does.
Allie:  Oh yeah...okay!


Erik made the made the mistake this morning, while trying to be funny, of asking Allie who was cuter -  him or Justin Beiber.  Her answer without hesitation was Justin Bieber.  Jump to an hour later, while they are busy pulling up our old baseboards, this conversation happens.
Allie:  Daddy, I love helping you with projects.
Erik:  I love you.
Allie:  Well, I love you.  But, Justin Bieber is the cutest!

Love you, Miss!
