At a grandparent abode (there are four six such abodes in our lives) playing with a cat:
N: Maxie, you wouldn't hiss and attack me. You're too darn sweet.

Plans for the future
N: Mom, I've decided that I'm going to live with you and Daddy for the rest of my life.
Mom: You can do that if you want to. But if you grow up and want to live somewhere else you can do that too.
N: Yeah, but I won't go to outer space.
Mom: Oh, why not?
N: Because there is no air in outer space so we couldn't talk to each other and that wouldn't be good.
Mom: Well, then we'll just stay on Earth.
N: Yeah.
Mom: You can do that if you want to. But if you grow up and want to live somewhere else you can do that too.
N: Yeah, but I won't go to outer space.

Blind otters
N: Wanna see a blind otter fly an airplane!?
Mom: Sure.
N: (throws an inflatable ring across the living room) WATCH OUT!
----
N and her Dad had a round of playing a game where N squeezes his nose and Dad makes a honking noise. After a long honk, N said. "Can you honk like you did in the old days?"

Natasha's grandparents asked her advice on how to fly on a plane as she has traveled by plane most recently. "Well, there are roofs on planes now." She said.
Mom: Sure.

Future plans
N: Mom, when I grow up I want to live with you forever.
Mom: That's fine with me. You can live with me for as long as you like.
N: And when I'm a grown-up I'm going to have nine cats.
Mom: Hmmm. That's a lot of cats.
N: Well, I'll get them one at a time so they won't make you sneeze too much.
Mom: Hmm, but by the time you get four or five we might have too much hair in the house.
N: I'll get a siamese cat last.
Mom: I still think nine might be too many cats.
N: But when I'm a grown-up I won't be scared of the vacuum cleaner so it will be fine.
Mom: You'll have to vacuum everyday. Do you think you can do that?
N: Yeah. And I'll vacuum your nose too.
Mom: That's fine with me. You can live with me for as long as you like.

Bathroom talk
N: Mom? How big is Clifford's poop?
This question sparked one of our more interesting family conversations in the last week. How could Birdwell Island dispose of or use Clifford's poop? (For reference: http://pbskids.org/clifford)
Natasha's ideas:
1. "Give it to a blue whale to take out to sea to decompose."
When it was mentioned that dog poop may harm sea animals. She amended her suggestion with "wash the poop with a big soap to get the germs off first."
2. Burn the poop
3. "Grow pumpkins. Make one into a Jack-o'-lantern and let the others grow bigger and then Clifford could poop into the other big pumpkins."

Too cute to clean
Mom: Natasha, let's clean up the living room before we go to bed.
Natasha: I can't I'm too cute!

Natasha: Mona used to be bigger but we smalled her up!
----
Natasha; Mom I like your new shoes; they're very beautiful.
Mom: Thanks, and do you like my new sweater too?
Natasha: Lookin' good!
-----
Natasha: Before I was born did you want a kid who pretended they were an otter and could finger knit?
Natasha: I can't I'm too cute!
