Zelda-isms

I began writing this post in late 2010 to capture a couple of the funny things Zelda was saying (over and over). As the months (and years) have passed, I added a few more things. I figured now was as good a time as any to give everyone a laugh.

We'll start with her self-portrait, taken in November 2010.

Zelda: I'm not telling you 'til you guess!

*****

Mommy: (Counting to elicit an action/response from Zelda) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Zelda: Blast-off!

*****

Daddy: Zelda, can I eat you up?
Zelda: No, I'm not food.

*****

Zelda: Mommy, I love you so much.
Me: Zelda, I love you too.
Zelda: Then, we must be lovey doveys together.

*****

Zelda: I read (past tense) some books that you have read to me and one new one.
Mommy: What was the new one?
Zelda: I don't know. I can't read.

First Frost

I didn't stop long enough this morning to get a picture of our first frost. But, I did want to remember our ride to school.

Annalee and Kamila, our neighbor who's also in second grade, were oohing and aaahing, literally, about how they could see their breath as we got into the van. Then, Kamila said,

"It's like invisible fire."

Kids say the darndest things.
