Mickey Gonzales

Honoria: Do you know what Mickey Mouse does?

Me: No.

Honoria: He runs around... fast.

Julia the literalist

We were at the dinner table last night talking about one of our cats going to the vet the next day. Mindy had called to schedule an appointment and they said they could squeeze her in. Mindy mentioned that phrase "squeeze her in" several times.

Julia, a little later in the conversation, stopped us to get clarification, "Excuse me mommy, where are they going to squeeze Molly?"

It took us a minute to register, but really made us laugh. We tried to explain the situation better to our very literal little girl.

More Cows Please

I was talking to Julia about getting another milk cow for the farm, and she sounded positive about the idea. Honoria on the other hand (who was eavesdropping) was downright excited, "I want another milk cow! A daddy one!"

The Rivalry, Cookies vs Watermelon

Juila said, "I don't know which is better, cookies or watermelon." After a long pause and much deliberation she concluded, "I think it's watermelon."

Game over, cookies.

Cat fight

I noticed a scratch on Honoria the other day and when I asked her what happened she said, "It was either a cat or a boy."

Translating Honoria

"More green olives" - May I please watch another Speedy Gonzalez cartoon?

"I hold you" - Would you please pick me up?

Straw Philosophy

Julia says, "The thing I like about straws is they don't let me get a mess on my face."
