Mallory

From the mouth of Mallory

“Cooper needs a barrette because he’s going to be a golf player”

“I am going to take your picture – say ‘stinky diapers!’”

“You tell me ‘stop doing that, Mallory’” (like when she’s playing with something or doing something she knows she isn’t supposed to, like taking the roll of toilet paper off the holder, just for the heck of it).

STB: “Ooh – you washed your hands! They smell like GRAPE!”
MCB: “No they don’t. They smell like octopuses. Do you like octopuses?”

Out for a walk last week – she asked me to hold her “leafses” (leaves)

We were playing today and she told me: “You can’t catch me because I’m a stinkerstein”. Stinkerstein is what I call her when she is being funny-bratty (as opposed to being regular bratty); the fun part is that she has started to tell her friends at school that they are stinkersteins.

  1. Your children sound pretty adorable! I enjoyed reading about their adventures in language.

    Happy ICLW.

  2. TH and I witnessed a little girl on the bus a few days ago who was entirely too funny in her choice of words. She stood up and wanted to stand while the bus was in motion, and her mom swiftly grabbed onto her arm to keep her from falling from the jerks of the bus. Her mom was holding onto her quite firmly, while telling her to hold on to the pole. The little girl just kept saying, “I would if you would *just* let go of me!” She was maybe around 3, and it was hysterical!
