Kids Say Funny Things

I overheard a conversation between Jeffrey and Arabelle.  They were looking at pictures in Jeffrey's Book of Mormon.  Arabelle:  "That's Jesus Christ." Jeffrey: "Jesus is friendly.  And he's like a ghost."
 
Arabelle's nursery leaders told me they'd had a "lesson" on baptism.  They asked Arabelle, "Do you need to be baptized?"  Arabelle said, "Yes, and we have two bap-tubs in my house."

I was sitting on the carpet.  Arabelle approached me.  She held one of her play wooden kitchen knives to me and said sternly, "You!  Stand up and dance!"

Arabelle: "I want you to hurt me with that."  She pointed at my fingernail and made me scratch her knee lightly with it.  "Now, go get me some pink medicine!"  (Evidently she was in the mood for some of the baby tylenol...)

Jeffrey did something naughty and I must have raised my voice when censuring him.  In a hurt tone he replied, "Mommy, you don't yell--you're a girl!"

I was reading a book to the kids, and at what point it says, "Babies love to clap, clap, clap." (I clapped my hands with each "clap").  Charlotte saw me and started clapping.  Jeffrey was super excited and said, "It's magic!"  Then he kept saying, "Babies love to clap, clap, clap" because these were the magic words to make baby Charlotte clap.

Arabelle says she wants to have a party and invite Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, and Pluto, but not Goofy, Daisy Duck, or Donald Duck.
