Lily's Quips of the Day

I went to Dictionary.com and looked up QUIP - it means a clever or witty remark or comment among other things. If you have ever lived with a child you know that quips are a daily occurrence and they sure can bring a smile to your face.

Lily has been full of quips lately - these are some of my favorites:

"I know what an ultrasound is...its the sound someone makes when they have a baby."

"Mom can you call Kai's mom and ask if I can marry him." And so begins the life of a helicopter parent - really she doesn't have any ideas that boys will have cooties in her world before she will like them. I told her I would make the call when she is done with Medical School.

"Mom you know why you don't poke someone's eye out look I will show you" to which I turned to look at her and she replied "because they'll go blonde" as she shut her eyes.

What fun it is living with kids. I can't till Ally's vocabulary is bigger than banana, mom, dad, lily, elmo and more. I am sure she will bring the same amount of laughs with her own daily quips.
