1-My child understands sarcasm slightly, but doesn't yet get parody. So she thinks "Pat Schrodinger's Kitty" is a book of hers (linky: http://www.amazon.com/Schrodingers-Kitty-Nerdy-Babys-Scientists/dp/0983804125. My favorite joke in the entire thing is it on the back-- listing the 'series' and including "Pat the Recursion Error the Recursion Error)...and asks for it at bedtime on a semi-regular basis.
Which lead to "WAIT! I need my glasses to see the neutrinos!" being shouted repeatedly across the house the other night.
2-She has a plastic lightsaber that is used as a cane for some reason. Yesterday morning, she wanted to take it with her to grandma's (NBD) and she was using it as a cane as she went in to the bedroom to say goodbye to daddy--she was saying "I need to use my cane because Diego (yes, she still refers to herself as Diego in the 3rd person) can't walk good"...and she promptly tripped over the dog and face-planted.
The Mr. and I are going to hell for trying not to laugh (she was fine)
3-She stole the Mr's small LED flashlight because of all the power outages. The other day, she was playing and the Mr. told her not to shine that in people's (read, mommy's) eyes, it hurts. TO which she said "I'm going to shine it in Diego's eyes" and promptly put it against her own eyeball and turned it on.
Cue a tantrum of "ow ow ow ow ow ow, that hurts!". Again, going to hell.
4-I may have told this one already, but while I was dealing w/ 'please be quiet, mommy can see sounds", A 3ft high ghost wearing a polka dotted sheet went past me.
I said "ahhh, a ghost".
So the ghost screamed bloody murder (a real scream) yelled "don't scare
me"and ran to the ghost bedroom, not-quite-fake ghost sobbing.
She is totally a drama queen.
