Shopping

...on whether or not to accompany mom to the grocery store.

Well, people might think I'm pretty, and they might want to get close to me. And then they'll get sick, because I'm sick. So, no. But can you get me applesauce? And carrots. And a parrot?

Hansel and Katie

Katie and Zach were having a snack at Grandpa and Grandma's new house. They've just moved in and the kitchen area isn't set up, so the kids were eating on a small side table. I told them to be very careful with the chocolate ice cream, because we didn't want to get it on the clean rug. Very conscientiously, they nibbled their cookies and ice cream.

Katie: Ummm, Grandma? Is it ok if I got some cookie crumbs on the table?

Grandma: Oh, sure, Katie, that's no problem.

Katie: Ok, because then it will be easier for you to find me...

Mommy, defined (for the rainy day file)

Mommy, you are a real GENUIS. You are a real STAR!

Because you take care of me and Zach.

Do turtles have ears?

Isn't it romantic?

Mom, you know what 'romance' means? It means 'very pretty', in French!

On seeing land from the "cruise boat"

Hellloooooo Bal-loo-ma!

Eyes Only

Betsy: Do you think you'll ever meet a boy who's as handsome as your daddy?

Katie: I guess so. But I'm not gonna bring him home. I'm just gonna look.
