“I must take advantage of this moment!” the 4 year old exclaims.

Do 4 year olds really talk like this?

Vancouver kid: we’re out for sushi and playing on the iPhone!

That’s our born and raised Vancouverite!

Who knew Mr Potato Head had strange cousins Mr Corn Head and Mr Carrot Head?? Weird. My daughter just made a 3 armed mutated carrot.

Girl’s friend says 2 her: “U know what the best thing about U is? You’re my best friend! And best friends are best friends!” No arguing here

Upon recovering from sickness she says, “Mommy, I’m going to be going so fast you’ll need a metal detector to find me!”

“You’re a pancreas,” she says to me. I love it that she says pancreas, even if she doesn’t really know what it means.

She says “tofood” for tofu. I love it.

“Piglet’s ears are bleeding and he’s black inside because he’s a vampire.” (doing colouring of a Hallowe’en Winnie the Pooh picture)

So, we went to Wendy’s for dinner the other night and got a Mad Lib’s Junior set in the Kids Meal. (Mad Libs gives you the story and you fill in the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and miscellaneous words from a group of choices.) Although the wee one isn’t quite at the level to read and write sufficiently, we did it together and she created a hilarious story. The words she chose are in italics.

For my birthday, my parents bought me a pet dolphin. She is so cute that I named her Crispy. She has a really long fin and I love to pet her crispy skin. I bought her a crispy collar that she wears around her neck. I’m teaching her to cry and to come when I whistle. Every time she does a trick, I say, “Good dolphin!” and I feed her a meatball. Next, I’m going to teach her to catch a Frisbee in her fin. Every night, she sleeps on an octopus right next to my chair bed. In the morning, she rubs her fin on me to wake me up. What a blue pet!!

Needless to say, she cracks herself up every time she says crispy and meatball.

Child sees “Winners” down the street, exclaims, “Mommy, that’s almost my name” (she goes by Winnie). Awesome reading comprehension! at 4!
