Some Classics

I just had the urge to check out the paper journal that I attempted to keep to log some of the funny things the girls say at this time last year before I had the better idea to start this blog. I only wrote three pages, so it obviously didn't last very long. Here are a few things I wrote in there:

-Jenny said to a 3-year-old at daycare who almost hit her in the face (when she was 5) "You want some of this" with her fist raised.

-Jenny - You know what I'm going to wish for the next time there's a shooting star? I'm going to wish for all my family to stay alive. And I'm going to wish for Grandma to come back to life.
-Me - Why don't you wish for everyone to be healthy? And Grandma can't come back to life.
-Jenny - But Gandalf does in Lord of the Rings.
-Me - That's not real.
Lee pointed out that I should have told her that it's because Grandma's not a wizard, since Lord of the Rings is the real history.

Jenny at Christmas - People can celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa, or Hanukkah. We choose to celebrate Christmas because you have 2 girls who want presents. People who don't have kids can celebrate Kwanzaa or Hanukkah.

Jenny, when she was home sick and I told her she wasn't acting like a sick child - I'm pretending to feel good.

Obviously the girls still say such funny things every day that I don't need to resort to the old journal, but I thought it would be fun. Jenny spent most of the car ride home today telling me about how ghosts and spirits are real based on some long story one of her friends told her. I must say that I didn't really listen to the whole long story because it involved the swamp by school, and some other graveyard, and the haunted house at a graveyard, and her friend Brianna's 4th birthday when a ghost blew out her candles before she had a chance to. I supposed I should have listened.
