Bella came out with a few good ones recently.
Her one cute speech impediment is to say "Perfect" as "Perf-Tect". So a week back, in describing Isaac, she said "He keeps getting perftect-er and perftect-er". It was a sweet thought, delivered with maximum cuteness.
Last night she asked "What do bad guys look like?". I tried to say that you can't always tell the bad people by how they look, but more how they act... sort of the good cautionary line. Her response:
"No - I think they have red eyes. And turquoise skin. And they dress all in black. AND they're invisible, so you can't even see them. They only appear when no one is around to see them. Like Dinosaurs. They're still around, but they only appear when no one is looking. Also, like Party Balloons."
(Not sure exactly how "Party Balloons" fit into that equation.)
This morning, Pamela reported the following quote:
"If blankets were spoons, they could carry a lot of soup".
Finally, her word of the week is "Turquoise" which she has been using instead of "Blue" in all instances. She says it perftectly, however.

I have enjoyed these stories and love the details. I also love how B is permitted to say "No, this is how I see it." You are doing such a fine job raising a human being. I am so proud of you both.
It's funny how words can just play with you: turquoise and Milwaukee have music in them. As for bad guys - the blue meanies come to mind and the red eyes are a staple in cartoons and stories ("and the little girl who wasn't supposed to ride the pony - but DID anyway - didn't notice at first that the night had become so foggy that she didn't know where the pony was taking her and she certainly didn't notice that the pony's eyes had turned to red, like glowing coals." (this is from a ghost story I used to tell at Halloween - from France, of course....)
Don't know if your server tells you when a post has been e-mailed, but I have emailed your quotage story several times to fellow storytellers. We have a kindred in Bella, know our kind....
Both 'Milwaukee' and 'turquoise' have hard "c" sounds in them....
Enjoy your busy weekend! Happy New Year!
