Veggies

Conversation I overheard as Suzy was putting dinner on the table.
Kate, "Mom, why did God make vegetables taste so yucky"
Suzy, "I don't think they are, I think they're tasty." (This is the woman who would make herself a pot of squash soup in college and eat it for a week, with a side of beets).
Kate, "Well, I don't. I only like all fruits, except for Oranges."
Suzy, "Lots of people like vegetables, maybe the problem is your tastes and not the vegetables."
Kate, "Weellllll, I don't think so."

The girls Shay

Kate has a good friend name Shae.

I just got home, and told Faith that her hair looked cute (she had put in a headband).  She kindly informed me, "I not Faith, I da girlShay".  She said her name a few more times, and each time, it came out as one word "girlShay".  Just to make sure I realized she was still a girl, but named Shay.

How to answer a Telephone

Suzy was in the shower when Kate came into the bathroom.  As Kate came in, Suzy heard this, "Oh, sorry, she's in the shower."

Kate had kindly answered Suzy's cell phone! At that point, Suzy shut off the shower, so of course Kate brightly informs the person on the other end, "Oh wait, she just turned off the shower, here she is."

Luckily, this potentially embarrassing situation was made somewhat less so in that it was Sister Olsen (in Young Women's with Suzy).  

Needless to say, Kate learned a bit more about Telephone etiquette.

Faith

From Suzy:
Favorite Faith Frases :)  (I needed a good alliteration)
"I need my privaseat"
"Peery Please?"
"Can I have some drinkabut yogurt?"

Like Mother Like Daughter

We recently cut Faith's hair in an attempt to control the massive knots she creates as she twirls her hair. This habit is usually performed while she's tired and simultaneously sucking her thumb.  She basically creates a giant dreadlock, sometimes she gets her finger stuck in her hair and needs help to extract it.  Her hair is now quite short, just past her ears or so.  Suzy had a similar haircut growing up.

The other day, Suzy was helping Faith in the bathroom and mentioned that she looked just like her at her age.  Faith's response?
"NOOOOOooooOOOOOoooOOOOOOOOOO".
