Our girls are silly. At least once a day I ask them if they have a case of the sillies. Goofamongers. Goofy-sticks. Silly Monsters. I have as many names for their silly as they have levels of silly. Just when I think that’s IT! They can’t make me laugh ANY MORE…I’ve laughed at as much as I can laugh at these two goof-a-pottamuses, they do it again.
Conversation today while Sara was visiting her UPTEENTH public bathroom:
Mommy: Kelly, are you ready to try to pee pee in the potty?
Kelly: NO. I never pee pee in the poppy.
Mommy: I know, and why is that?
Kelly: Betaaause…..ewww! There is PEE PEE in the POPPY!
Conversation Sunday night at dinner:
Mommy: Kelly, I appreciate that you’ve eaten the zucchini and peppers, but I want you to eat some chicken. It’s good.
Kelly: OH NO Mommy. I no eat da protein. (As she hops down and walks away.)
Chit Chat with Sara in her bed Friday night after a particularly poor performance on her part at a friend’s birthday party:
Sara: Mommy, I don’t know what was wrong with me today at that birthday party. I was flopping around like a sad monkey.
Mommy: Sara, I knew you were probably too tired to go, but I didn’t want to disappoint you by canceling. Maybe I should have. But in the future, we’ll need to find a better to talk about being tired. You screamed so loudly that I think you scared those workers at Build-A-Bear.
Sara: I’m sorry Mommy. I think it would hurt Emily’s feelings if she knew I was too tired to go to her party, so let’s tell her I had a lovely time and we should just leave it at that.
Mommy: Sounds like a gracious plan my dear (laughing so hard that tears were rolling down my cheeks…leave it at that…where does she get this stuff?).
Kelly’s Conversation with Pa Pa Bump today:
Pa Pa Bump: Kelly, you are too cute. Do you know that?
Kelly: Yeah, I get dat a wot (I get that a lot).

Here’s one from Avery to her dad when he wasn’t brushing her teeth correclty: “Daddy – Mommy is in. You are out.” (She’s a big fan of Project Runway.)
