Being impressed with my sister Autumn's amazing record keeping with her daughter's funnies, I realized I have let all of my kids' hilarious words pass by unwritten and should really write some down. There have been so many lately but I can't remember most, of course right? Here are a few:
Hazel: Can we stop walking?
Me: We'll be at the car soon and you can rest for a long while.
Hazel: My legs are running out of walking.
***
I could hear giggling from the other room.
Hazel: City freaks mom!
Me: What??
Hazel: Her diaper freaks!
Me: Oh, City's diaper reeks.
***
Hazel: Mom, do you feel like garbage?
Me: A little.
...another day...
Hazel: Mom, do you feel like garbage?
Me: You know what? I actually don't right now, thanks for asking.
...
She seemed to consider that Josh after a long day looked similar to me when I feel sick:
Hazel: Dad, do you feel like garbage?
Josh: No, I feel okay...
She asks us this all the time now and I wonder if I should have said that so much. Oops.
***
During lunch today:
City (pointing to each of us): You're a mouse, you're a mouse, you're a mouse, you're a mouse, you're a mouse...
Hazel: City, what am I? (after she'd been labeled a mouse a few times already)
City, thinking: You're a lion. (or something similar?)
***
Cleaning up toys last night:
Josh: If you guys don't clean up the toys, we'll put them in the gunny sack!
City: Put them in the gunny sack!!
Me mumbling to Josh: No, she always says that, we should either throw them away or...
Josh: Okay, put them away first and then we'll put them in the gunny sack.
***
After City did something naughty, hitting maybe?:
Me: You--
City: I GO IN TIME OUT!
Me, stumped: No, I want you to say sorry
City: No, I GO IN TIME OUT!
Me: I want--
City: TIME OUT, I GO IN TIME OUT!
--this sort of thing happens all the time, she likes to be the one in charge so she thinks she's one step ahead of me. She's such a little pistol! I have a hard time not busting up all the time. I find alternatives to time out when she starts asking for it usually.

A week or so ago while Hazel was on the phone with my dad:
Hazel: No, she's still sick...she lays on the couch...no, Daddy comes home from work and then makes dinner, we eat it together, then mommy helps clean up and then lays on the couch...
--my mom suggested I remind her of all the fun mommy is having with them during the day when I get out with them, since that really does happen. At this point hopefully those days are behind us.
***
After lunch yesterday when City was in bed and it was just Josh, Hazel and me--basically Hazel was feeling pretty special to be up with us instead of in quiet time.
Hazel: ...(something I couldn't understand)...is SUBLIME!
Me: (pause, shock, amazement) What?
Hazel: Sublime!
Me: Josh, did you teach her that word? I never use that word?
Josh: (a bit amazed himself, but thinking of cartoons where she's been pulling other facts and info from) Guess.
Me: Hazel, what does sublime mean?
Hazel: Wonderful...it's from primary.
Then I realized it was from the song, Come Follow Me. Pretty cool she remembered that word and used it though!

I so wish I could remember the other funny things they've been saying, they are so hysterical! Felicity surprises me with the things that come out of her mouth all the time and Hazel says funny things in an older way that catch me by surprise. I love this stage of motherhood!

I need to be better about writing the quick funny things they say, too. It does make mommyhood fun!
When my kids are tired of walking they always say, "my legs are dizzy." It USED to be cute!
P.S. I'm so sorry you feel like garbage. And I'm glad that all turned out well for Josh. SCARY!
