{31 for 21} Quotable.

I used to do these quotable posts more frequently.  It's been awhile, so here are some recent gems of Ellie's, copied straight from my Facebook and going back into summer.

Me: I need to plug in my laptop. Ellie, can I please sit in your chair?
Ellie: No, but you may sit on the floor right here.

"CAROLINE! Do not MOVE! I'm brushing your hair!" (Violently. With a doll brush.)

***

"Little ones to him belong, they are weak but He is big."

***


Me: What book did your teacher read today?
Ellie: Llama Llama. But llama llama misses mama. But I don't. 

***


Ellie: this is my lucky hangnail and my lucky scrape because I got TWO bandaids!

***

"Curious mas fooda?"
Translation: ellie attempting to ask c if she wants food. In Spanish. Obviously.


***


Ellie: Are you old?
Me: No, I'm young and beautiful.
Ellie: No, you are OLD and beautiful!


***


Ellie: HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY! 
Me: use your inside voice
Ellie: but I'm loud and proud.


***


Me: Do you think Caroline will like the petting zoo at the buddy walk? 
Ellie: Yeah
Me: She might want to pet the little animals
Ellie: Yeah! Like an otter!!!

Regardless of political affiliation, I think a woman being nominated by a major party is a big deal. So I turned on the DNC coverage. 
"Ellie, watch, this is important."
"Why?"
"Because it's almost time to pick a new president and our new president might be a girl. So far it's been all boys."  
Ellie looks at my phone (live steaming.) "There's a girl. There's a boy."
"Yep but those aren't the girls who might be president."
"Mommy, why is that lady speaking?.... Can we watch something good?"
Appreciation for history, right here folks.

E: Mommy, can I please have a treat?
Me: Didn't you already have a popsicle AND ice cream?
E: Yeah, so I want ANOTHER treat.
Me: Laugh
E: Do not laugh that I want a treat.
