Catching Up On Addison-isms

 Me: "whoah. Addison. Stripes with plaid? Really?"

Addison: "Daddy said it was okay. Yeah. I shoulda asked you."

Addison (watching Chopped): The thing i don't like about it is when the people talk about why they need the money. Then, I feel guilty. I mean, I'm watching this for ENTERTAINMENT."

Jeff has been collecting aluminum to use in a styrofoam/sand/aluminum casting project. Tonight, he sat on the porch, dismantling a broken scooter.

I heard Asa spot him. "Nooo! Not my scooter! You're like some bad guy in a kids' tv show!"

(He curls his fingers in an evil villian way.)

"Bwahaha... I'm going to melt ALL the TOYS!"

Jeff: "Olive's waist is through the leg hole of her panties."

(Addison looks mortified)

Me: "Whoops. She dressed herself."

Addison (with relief): "Oh, I thought you meant W-A-S-T-E."

"I don't believe in zombies, but some kind of man-rabies? Yeah, I can see that happening." ~Addison

MEET

 Me: "Maybe we can meet Mim for dinner."

Olive (calmly): "You mean kill her and use her body for meat?"

Me: "What?!? I said 'meet Mim'!!"

Olive: "Oh, I thought you said eat."

What the heck, girl.

This reminded me of Addison (I think it was Addison, may have been Asa) when he was her age.  I said, "We're headed over to the Animal Kingdom for dinner."  He asked, "Do we get to pick out our own animal?"

Sigh.

Olive was incredibly focused on the waitress as she wrote down our order.

After she walked away, Olive sighed and said, "I just love lists."

Happy Easter!

 (All three of my boys are leaving tomorrow for an Orlando adventure. My girls are headed to the mountains with Jeff's parents...)

Me: "Girls, we need to pack up, you guys are going to be leaving tomorrow!"

Olive: "Not leaving like moving out and living on our own yet, though."

Me: "Let's get in the car. We're gonna go meet Mim."

Olive: "I've already met her before."

The girls just threw money in a wishing well.

Ivey wished for "a pegasi and more money."

Olive: "Healthy kids and a good husband."

Olive: "What is Pin The Tail on the Pony?"

Me: "It's actually Pin the Tail on the Donkey. It's a game where you put on a blindfold and sometimes you spin around and then you take a little pin with a picture of a donkey tail and you walk to a picture of a donkey on the wall and try to pin it in the right place."

Olive: (long pause) "Sounds dangerous."

Olive makes lists. This particular list is for a baby doll birthday party.

"Mommy, I need you to bring all the things to the party."

"What do you need?"

"A chocolate milk fountain."

Ivey: "I needed this Elsa dress!"

Olive (said with sass): "Ivey. You don't need that dress. You want that dress. Got it? You need to learn whatcha want and whatcha need."
