Girl Talk: Episode 9

It’s been too long since I did one of these Girl Talk posts and they were the number one request in my 2018 reader survey!

It’s been so fun to watch Star really come into her own – she makes us laugh on a daily basis with the hilarious things she says.

Our neighbor and dear friend found out her first baby was a girl and Ella was over the moon about the announcement. A month or two later. . . 
Hannah: Ella, I have some terrible news.
Ella: Oh no! What?
Hannah: The birds ate all our peaches off the tree.
Ella: Oh. Whew. I thought you found out your baby was a boy.

Janssen: You are my sweet little baby.
Star: No, I am a BIG girl.
Janssen: How did that happen?!
Star: With MAGIC. And my magic wand.

Star: Are you righteous?
Janssen: Well, I’m trying to be.
Star: Oh, so you’re not.

After a long conversation in the car about the walls along the freeway and why they are stair-stepping up but never getting taller
Janssen: And so that’s why there is a change in the tallness of the wall.
Ani: Don’t you think you should have said, “height”?

Playing “Would You Rather” at dinner time
Bart: Would you rather have two billion dollars and no friends or lots of amazing friends and just a regular amount of money.
Ani: [considering] Well, you could just BUY friends.

Bart comes into the kitchen
Bart: What’s that bad smell?
Janssen: Is it this hummus?
Bart: YES! It smells like a poopy bum.
Star: [from the next room] There’s no poopy bum in this house!

At dinner, Star takes a big bite of soup
Star: This soup is YUMMY! It’s going to nourish and strengthen me!

On the way to school one morning
Ella: I think I want to be a teacher when I grow up.
Janssen: That would be fun.
Ella: Do teachers make a lot of money?
Janssen: Not usually.
Ella: [exasperated sigh] Well, what job can I do where I make a lot of money and get to write on a white board?!

Doing a Cinderella puzzle together
Janssen: Who is this?
Star: Dat’s the wicked stepmother.
Janssen: Do you have a wicked stepmother?
Star: No! I have a NICE stepmother.

We’re watching The Lion King for movie morning. After the part where Mufasa dies:
Ani: [shocked] THAT was the surprise?

Star comes in wearing Ani’s little high heels
Star: When you’re wearing these high heels, you’re a fancy lady.
[pause]
Star: Will you put a fancy lady on the counter?

Star bursts into tears over some minor thing
Star: [abruptly stops crying] Oh! “You’ll never see me cry!”
