As we're walking to school one morning: "Mama, when I'm a teenager I'll just walk home by myself. Okay?"
me: "What do you feel like eating today?"
lilah: "Well I'm not sure yet. But I'll have a look at the menu and then I'll let you know!" During a prayer in Church one day, I (obviously) didn't have my eyes closed, Lilah leaned over and rather sternly said: "Mom. It's closing your eyes time!" lilah "Mama, do you remember that nice watch I had and the little thing broke off the strap?"
me: "Yes I do remember it. Maybe you'll get a new one for Christmas?"
lilah: "Well, I want you to buy it for me, not santa, because I don't want to wait for Christmas!"
me: *laughing*
lilah: "Plllllease Mum. Please will you spoil me? Pretty please!" "What do you call that blue stuff in Meeka's hair? Is her hair dying or something?" "That motorbike is so obviously smelly!" After she put one of her stuffed dolls under my shirt: "You know Mum, it takes 15 months to get a baby out. I don't know if it's going to come out of your belly or your bum?" "I'll just set these mandarin oranges up here so you can see them, because I imagine you're not helping me open them." After pulling her snack bag out of her backpack and realizing it was a bit messy: "What a disaster!!" me: "Do you want me to put a sticky note on that?"
lilah: "Yes please."
me: "Okay. Will you run downstairs and get one for me?"
lilah: "Well, you can run downstairs and get one and I'll just sit here and wait patiently for you!"
