(We went to the same pumpkin farm twice this year! Once for a preschool fieldtrip, and once with friends. Tons of fun both times. The highlight is this giant corn pit. It is really, really giant and really, really fun. I'm still finding corn kernels in my laundry baskets.)

Situation: I'm talking to Maggie on the phone. Sophie is harassing me, saying she "needs to ask Maggie a question". Me: Ok Soph, what is it you need to ask Aunt Maggie? Sophie: Ask her if real people drink blood. (before you get too concerned about her...we've been seeing/talking about mosquitoes lately.)



Situation: I'm putting Sophie to bed. I'm asking her what songs she wants me to sing, and she's not answering. Me: Sophie, tell me what songs you want. Sophie: SShhh! Me: What is it? Sophie (whispering): My shoulder is trying to tell me something. Me: What is it trying to tell you? Sophie: I'm not sure.....



Sophie: When I grow up, can I use rubbing alcohol?



Situation: Around the campfire, and Sophie has already consumed her quota of marshmallows for the night. (wheedling, whiney voice) "Mommy, my tummy is grumbling, and it says it needs marshmallows!"



Situation: I'm cleaning a spot on the carpet with a can of carpet cleaner. Sophie: Mom, is that Bam? Me: No, it's not "Bam". Why do you ask? Sophie: The tv says you should use Bam for cleaning.



Situation: We're at our friends house for dinner and somehow we get talking about Dora the Explorer. My friend Chrissy asks Sophie: Do you like Dora? Sophie: Yeah, but my parents don't. They think she's too loud.
Me: Sophie, what do you want for lunch? Sophie (with a hint of an English accent) I would like a ham & cheese sandwich, with no ham.



Situation: Sophie comes into my room, eating a cookie. Sophie: Mommy, guess what? Me: What? Sophie: Jamie told me I could have a cookie if I didn't tell anyone about it!



Situation: Getting the family ready for church on Sunday morning. Danny: Sophie are you excited to go to nursery today? Sophie: Actually, nursery has been cancelled today.



Sophie: Jamie, can I have some milk? But, I want regular milk, not your "soil milk". Note: Jamie drinks SOY milk.
