Secrets

Mommy: Hey Lina, I have a secret for you.

Lina: What is it?

Mommy: You’re going to be a big sister!

Lina: I am? So there’s a tiny baby in your tummy?

Mommy: Yep, it’s teeny tiny, about this big.  But you can’t tell anyone except Daddy, okay?  So when Daddy comes up stairs, tell him you’re going to be a big sister.

Lina: Okay!

(Daddy comes upstairs…)

Mommy: Lina, what are you supposed to tell Daddy?

Lina: Mommy has a teeny tiny little baby in her tummy!

A Text From My Inlaws

I received the following text message from my Mother In Law today.

Lina said: "Today I'm going to do anything you want me to do! Do you want me to sit on the potty?" Ed and I laughed and laughed and a few minutes later, I went upstairs to find her in my bathroom sitting and waiting - for her toenails to be painted.

What can I say, the girl knows how to get what she wants!

Dinner Conversation

Lina: I talk. And Daddy talks to you.

Mommy: Yeah, Daddy talks to me.

Lina: Do you know why we talk?  To get answers.  Do you want to know my answer?

Mommy:  Yes, I do.  What is your answer?

Lina: My answer is unicorns.  And rainbows. Yellow rainbow unicorns.  That’s what I’m gonna have for my birthday.

Mommy to Daddy: This is the best conversation.

Lina: Let’s have a conversation.  A conversation about unicorns. A unicorn conversation.

Broken Heart

Elina: I sang the song one time and then it broke from my heart.  My heart is terribly broked.  My heart is broken.  My heart will broke every color of my heart.  Every part of my heart is going to be broken.

Mommy: It sounds like you need a hug

Elina: That won’t work either.  My story is tared. And my family is sad.

Mommy: Your story is torn? 

Elina: Yeah, that’s why your sad about my story…

Elina: Your computer is charging.

Mommy: Yes.  Yes it is.

Tired and Hungry

Lina: Where are we going?

Mommy: To get some dinner.

Lina: Some dinner?

Mommy: Yep.  At the Pasta House.

Lina: The Pasta House?!

Mommy: Uh-huh.

Lina: Well… I don’t want to go to dinner.

Mommy: You don’t want noodles?

Lina: Oh, yeah, I want noodles.

Mommy: I thought so.  That’s why we are going to Pasta House, to eat noodles!

Lina: Mommy, where are we going?

Mommy: Lina.  Remember how we talked earlier about asking me the same question over and over?

Lina: Yeah.

Mommy: We’re going to dinner so you can eat noodles.  And bread.

Lina: I don’t want to go to dinner anymore.

Mommy: Are you too tired to eat dinner?  It’s okay if you are, we can go home instead.

Lina: Yeah, I’m too tired.

Mommy: Okay, I’ll just call Mimi and Jessie and let them know we are going home.

Lina: Okay.  Mommy, I’m hungry.

Mommy: Do you want to go to Pasta House?

Lina: Yeah.

Mommy: Okay.

Lina: I don’t think we should be talking about this.

Mommy: You don’t think we should be talking about being tired and hungry?

Lina: Yeah.

Mommy: Why not?

Lina: I just don’t want to talk about it!

Mommy: Okay.  What do you want to talk about?

Lina: I just don’t want to talk about anything!

Mommy: Okay.  You want to sing?

Lina: Yes.
