Jonathan: Why am I speaking with a British accent?
Alana: Because you were talking about soccer.  Except that makes no sense.

"Housekeeping! Can I keep your house?"

Big Christmas wish

Katie and Jessica
Katie: Mama, I see a hot air balloon! It's going to outer space!
Jessica: I don't think it is going to space, only rocket ships can do that.
Katie: Maybe I will ask Santa for a rocket ship....

Dinner

Jessica: "Okay, time for dinner. Lynn do you want to eat noodles?"
Katie: "I don't want to eat noodles..." (opens the refrigerator)
Jessica: (feeling exasperated) "No Katie, if you don't want pasta then you can have nothing"
Katie: "Nothing?! But Mama, don't you remember what they said in Primary? If you don't eat food you will DIE! Oh, okay. I guess I'd better eat pasta..."

Alana: The doggie thinks you're weird.
Katie: I'm not weird, I'm fun!

Birthdays

Jessica: Katie, how old do you think I'm going to be on my birthday that's coming up?
Katie: I don't know...
Jessica: Well right now I'm 26, so what comes after 26?
Katie tries to count on her fingers.
Jessica: Let's count together.
Both: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26...
Katie: 27! Yay!
Jessica: Good job, now go tell Daddy.
Katie runs downstairs.
Katie: Daddy, Daddy! Mama is going to be seventeen!!

Things that happen late at night...

"It's the eye of the liger,
It's the cream of the corn,
Rising up from my bedroom to go potty..."

Katie says...

Katie said something funny after dinner today. Lynn was saying "Down, down!" since he was done eating and James said, "Oh, you want down Lynn?" and Katie said, "No Daddy, not English. You talk Italiano. Say 'vuoi scendere'!"
