Things uttered recently by my 5-year-old daughter, in seriousness or in jest:
- "My dinner had better be waiting for me when I get out there!" (Supposedly in jest. Hmmmph.)
- "I wish I was Gwen (Stefani). Then I would have a baby in my tummy."
- Upon learning that Gwen Stefani gave birth to a baby boy: "I might marry Gwen's baby someday. You just never know."
- "Katharine (McPhee) and Taylor (Hicks) are honeys."
- To her stepbrother: "You want a piece of me??"
- In the car: "Please put my cd in and play number six. I want to rock out."
- While playing Twister: "I am officially freaked out."
- Upon seeing that an episode of "Minute Meals" was starting: "YESSS! Rachael Ray!" (Somewhere, I have gone terribly, terribly wrong.)
- Out of the blue: "Four plus four plus four equals twelve." (Right on! Maybe she can start balancing my checkbook for me when she starts kindergarten...)
- "Do you have to be married to have a baby in your tummy?" (For the love of GOD.)
- While watching me eat a hard-boiled egg, and pointing to the the yolk: "Are those ducks?" (Chickens/ducks... baby chicks/yellow... yolks/yellow... How in the hell do I know??)
- To her grandfather: "I don't want to be an astronaut anymore, cause my mama says that they have to poop in their spacesuits." (Okay, I DID say that if they were on Mars or the Moon, outside of the space shuttle, they would have to go in their suits if the urge hit them. Hey! I saw it on The Discovery Channel, no foolin'.)
- In response to me asking her if she was a smart cookie: "No. I'm a smart chicken nugget."
And this, my friends, is what they call a "spirited" child.
How perfect is she! "I'm officially freaked out" is my favorite! I may have to steal that and use it -- what a great line!

I love the rockin' out one, but they all led up to the hilarious glory that was the poo-in-the-spacesuits. Oh, thanks for the laugh.

#6 is awesome.
A few weekends back, I was taking my friend's 5-year-old son to see "Dolphins" at IMAX, and a car pulled up alongside us with the music blaring.
"SOMEBODY's really rockin' out!" He exclaimed. Indeed.

She sounds like a delight. :-) What a quick intelligence.

Your kid is hilarious!! You could totally quit your job and sell tickets to hang out with her for an hour.

Yipee! I love a (future) woman with spunk. Lucky, lucky you ; ) No really, I mean it, I do.
