Hallie-isms

It's high time for another Hallie-isms post, right? She says and does so many funny things, it is hard to keep up, but here are some of the most recent ones:

*During "quiet time", she kept yelling from behind her door "Mom, get me out of here! Mom, GET ME OUT OF HERE!" When I did go to open the door for her, she had locked it from the inside so that I couldn't. But my attempt to open it sent her into a fit of laughter, so all I could hear from the other side of the door was this cackling, "I got you" laughter. Good one, Hals, good one.

*Also a frequent "quiet time" and bedtime refrain is "I need to go potty!" so that we will get her out of her room. I usually ask, "Do you really need to go, or are you just saying that?" And she will respond, "I just saying that." At least she is honest, right?

*One day, we had the following conversation:

Hallie: What are you doing?
Me: Mopping the floor.

Hallie: I'll sit on the couch then.

Me: How come?

Hallie: Because I'm scared of the mopper! (like, duh)

Me: Why?

Hallie: Because it will get me! (I guess it is time I stop allowing the "mopper" to "get her", eh?)

*Since she has seen three of her cousins get baptized recently, she is really on the theme of baptism. She asks every day if she can get baptized. Then I explain to her that she will when she turns eight. This makes her really excited, though she doesn't get that she won't be eight for six more years. haha. She likes to say that her daddy will baptize her and that she will have bare feet.

*One night I was trying to get her to brush her teeth before bed. Her response? "I just brushed my teeth yesterday!" My point exactly.

*One night at dinner:

Me: Do you want some more green beans?

Hallie: No, I already got some tons. No, TWO tons.

*When talking about MF one day: "I will carry her around the house! She can wear the circle dress and I can wear the flower dress!"

*I was wearing my Relay for Life t-shirt one day, which has a picture of Chris. Hallie looked at it and said, "mom! it's Uncle Chris. He's not scared!" (Can you tell a 'scared' theme going on??)

*One morning she was twirling around and pretending, so I asked her what she was doing. She responded, "making oatmeal for the Beast!" then, "I'll bring Belle upstairs. She is downstairs picking flowers." (love the imagination going on in that head!)

*One day, pretending to talk on my phone, I asked her who she was talking to. She replied, "Jen. She is asking me if I want presents."

Me: "What did you say?"

Hallie: "I said, Thanks for the presents!" then, "Let's call Steve, too."
