she's a funny one!

"Baba, you should wear some perfume, because it's perfect for your wrist!"

"I'm starving for the restaurant! Are you a wee bit starving too?"

"No Mama, I'm not cold... in fact!"

After listening to me complain about the rain: "But Mama, the rain needs to come. To make the flowers and leaves grow."

While shopping: "Oh look! That manikin has the same dress as me!"

After explaining that Baba would be home late for supper: "Is he gonna be home late because he's a busy boy?"

Me: "Lilah, will you do me a wee job and run upstairs and get your jammies for the wash"
Lilah: "Oh, sure Mum...no problem. Is there anything else you'd like me to do for you?"

Me: "Lilah, if you want to play outside, you have to stay on the porch."
Lilah: "Why Mama?"
Me: "Because I don't want any bad people try and take you away."
Lilah (with the most serious face I've ever seen): "Oh. Same as Jesus?"
*She'd been learning the Easter story around that time.

Me: Lilah, I hope you're not going to fall asleep!
Lilah: Why?
Me: Because Baba's coming home and we need to make supper.
Lilah: Mama! Are YOU serious?!!

Lilah: "Mama, can I wear my shorts and short sleeve t-shirt when the weather is sunny?"
Me: "Sure you can, but the weather hasn't been nice to wear them."
Lilah: "Okay. But I wasn't talking about the weather today. I was talking about the summertime."
