the things she says

"Baba, are you interested to play tennis? Baba, watch!! Pay attention!!"

Excitedly pulling on her shorts after school one day: "Mama, we're back into the Spring life again!"

Driving down the street one day:
lilah: “Did you ever see a car without a window in the door?
me: “No!”
lilah: “Well I just did so there must be one car in the country like that!”

At the coffee shop one day:
lilah: “Mama, don’t you like Earl Gray tea?”
me: “I love Earl Grey tea. Don’t you like fluffies?” (fluffies are steamed milk)
lilah: “I’m not real big into it actually!”

"Will you buy me these two books from the book club? They could be a surprise for my birthday!"

lilah: “Baba’s rental property is so dusty, isn’t it?”
me: “It is.”
lilah: “Doesn’t it drive you crazy? It drives me insane!”

lilah: “Are you writing down what I say?”
me: “Yes, I’m writing the funny things you say.”
lilah: “Well you should write some serious words!”

Praying one night: “Thanks for a beautiful day God, we don’t like cold weather much, but that's the way it works - that’s the pattern - Summer, Spring, Fall and Winter.”

“I love you two the same height and I love your parents the same height too!”
