Fabulous Rewards

So, last night Olivia says, "Mom, we need to start using our CD cases!" After I asked why, she responded with, "Because if you open a CD, you earn points and get fabulous rewards!"

I think she's been watching bank commercials.

This week while we were getting ready for school, Sophia said, "Mommy, I don't like the ants."
To this I asked, "What ants."
"The ants in my body," she said.
"There are ants in your body?" I inquired.
"Yeah, they're in my nose." she told me.

A Couple of Short Stories

A couple of days ago, while riding in the car, Olivia said she was thirsty, but the water in her water bottle was warm. She emphatically told me that she doesn't like warm water and wanted fresh, cold water when we got home. Sophia interjected that she likes warm water. In fact, she said, "Cold water freaks me out!"

I took the girls to the doctor for the yearly exam. Our doctor not only focuses on the physical, but also inquires about the girls' mental and emotional progress. While she was examining Olivia, Dr. Bacon asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up. Olivia, following in her father's footsteps, said, "An ice cream maker." When it was Sophia's turn and the doctor asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up. Sophia replied, "A bee." Now I've told them girls that they can be whatever they want to be, but I'm not so sure about that one.

The other day the girls where getting ready to watch some TV while I made some phone calls. Olivia said she wanted to watch the news. I wasn't sure about this, but I thought it was worth a try. After she was done watching TV, she said, "Mommy, there's going to be a thunderstorm tonight, and Montana is having some problems." I guess she was paying attention. Maybe she'll be a ice cream maker/news anchor??
