More Great Quotes

At school today, a little girl told me, "I want to come to school and live with you because I love you." (Note the assumption that I live at school.)

As I type this, Ellie is playing Legos in her room. I can hear her repeating to herself, "I am shocked and appalled! Shocked and appalled!" That's one of my catch phrases, but I haven't used it today.

An addition to the bobcat/excavator/pirate quote in the last post: I told my mom that story and she asked Ellie what she and Isabelle decided to be. Ellie said, "Well, Isabelle was the pirate of the orange airplane and I was the pirate of the red airplane." I see we're back to airplane pirates again. Poor Isabelle never really got to be the kind of pirate she probably meant.

Now Ellie (still alone with her Legos) is saying, "We're teaching others about Jesus... See how I'm scooping it?... Now eat your salad..." I love stream of consciousness. I could fill a whole page of Ellie talking to herself.

Have you ever recorded any of Ellie's discussions with herself? She might enjoy listening to them at some point in the future...
