Hallie-isms

We are overdue for some Hallie-isms, eh? She is one funny girl. I really wonder where she gets most of the things she says.

 

*One night she emerged from her bed in the "middle" of the night (her middle of the night-- I was awake but she had been asleep for a few hours) just to tell me, "Mom, let's remember to go to the store tomorrow to buy some cereal and some whip cream, okay?" I am sure glad she is keeping a running inventory of items that we may need . Important ones too--I mean really, who can live without cereal and whip cream? Clearly not this family.

*Jace called Hallie "mom" one day and Hallie's response was,"No, I'm not your mom! I'm your girlfriend!" Yikes...

*On the same note, Hallie is still on the theme of her marriage (oh my gosh, is this ever going to end? She is only 4 years old for pete's sake!). One day, she asked me, "Mom, who is going to marry me?" I responded that I don't know and she said, "Well, who are my boy cousins?" as if those were the options she should start choosing between. oh boy...

*During movie night:
"Mom, does this movie have a princess in it?"
me: "no"
Hallie: "Well then, WHY are we watching it?!"

*Me: "Hallie, run and go get a piece of paper please."
Hals: "I know I am smart, but I don't want to!"

*After I told her that she needed to go get her pajamas on for the 4th time at bedtime one night, she responded, "Oh! You said to put my pajamas on? I thought you said to play!" (yeah right, child.)

*Hals decided that she wanted to play "restaurant" one day, so she was listing off dinner options for Devin and me. The options went something like this, "We have hamburgers, hotdogs, nachos, and......leftovers." Yum. I love going to restaurants for leftovers.

*One day I was looking at the obituaries in the paper and she leaned over my shoulder and pointed to a man who was in his late 80's and said, "Mom, is that Uncle Steve??" Poor man...and poor Steve.

*After talking about the Book of Mormon story of Lehi's family leaving Jerusalem, Hallie was full of questions about it the next day, including asking, "Mom, if we aren't righteous, will we have to live in a tent like Nephi?" I'm glad she was thinking about the story, but apparently I am not that great at explaining things properly...

*After I sneezed loudly one day, she told me, "Mom, that 'achoo' is going to break my ears off!"

*Hallie still brings up death from time to time and has usually the same questions about it. One day after talking about it a while, she asked, "Someday we will all die, right?" I responded, "Yes, but we hope that it's not for a long, long time." Hallie responded with, "Yes, that will be sad if we die, but at least we won't have to go to work anymore!" So many things wrong with this...

And that concludes this edition of Hallie-isms!
