Life at Night

On our way home from dinner with friends:

Dad: There's the park. Nobody goes to the park at night except maybe raccoons.

N: Yep. They just eat garbage and get diarrhea.

Imagination

(driving to school)

N: Mom, can you imagine things when you have your eyes open?

Mom: Definitely.

N: A lot of people think you have to have your eyes closed, but I can imagine with my eyes open too.

Mom: Yeah?

N: Yeah, like right now I'm imagining a Siberian Lynx. It's just BEGGING for meatballs!

------

(While we walked the dog, N told me that when she grows up she wants to make movies to tell stories and then launched into a 20 minute telling of a "PG scary story" that she will produce as a film when she is older. Though I cannot remember all of it, below is a crucial point in the story entitled "The Evil Dentist.")

N: And THEN, they snuck into the house of the evil dentist and they saw that he had FAKE TEETH next to his bed!

Mom: Fake teeth for a dentist!?

N: Yeah! And then they went into the bathroom and there was NO TOOTHBRUSH in there!

Mom: A dentist with no toothbrush!?

N: And then they knew.....HE LIED. He was not really a dentist AT ALL!

First grade morning

N: (running up to me on the playground before school) Mom! Mom, Tommy has a tree puppet!
Mom: He does? What's a tree puppet?
N: Come and see it. It says hi and stuff.
Mom: O.K. I'll walk over.
N: Mom, I'm going to go ahead of you because I have a motorcycle so I go really fast.
Mom: Oh, go ahead. I'll catch up in a sec. That sounds like fun to have a motorcycle.
N: Yeah, it's great. It cost me 10% of my money.

A list

N: Hi mom. On top of your bathrobe is a towel and on top of the towel is a flea and on top of the flea is a....germ and on top of the germ is a FISH!

Summertime quotes

N: Did you know chopsticks are great for soup?

Mom: No. I didn't. What do they do for soup?

N: They just give it a little kick, you know.

--------------

N: Mom! Lavender ran across the bathroom scale!

Mom: Was that surprising?

N: Well, I almost got to see what her weighment was but she ran too quickly to see it!
