Trying to One-up

Grandpa and daughter were rough-housing around.
(Daughter): Grandpa I'm going to get you!
(Grandpa): If you do, I'll pop your head like a pimple!
(Daughter): No you won't! I'll pop your head like a bunch of nipples!

Pathetically Awesome Misunderstanding

We are driving home from lunch, and my son and daughter are singing songs in the back seat.

(Daughter - in the most pathetic voice she could muster): Bubby, don't break my heart, okay?
(Bubby): I wont!
(Daddy): What are you guys talking about?
(Daughter): I don't want him to break my heart!

My son finally showed me the soft stick-em paper heart that he was playing with.  She didn't want him to mess it up.

Boy Stuff

Editorial, not a dialog: Ever since she was an incy-wincy little girl, she has always been a tom-boy. Here are some pleasant examples:
  • Consistently wants a 'boy-toy' from McDonald's
  • Argues with me about what to call her when she is pretending to be a fictional character
  • She will not ever accept a female hero for her pretend identity, it must be a boy
    • Example: Must be Buzz Lightyear, never Jessie; Must be Harry Potter, never Hermione
  • Always chooses 'boy-colors' - Says things like, 'When I turn into a boy.' and 'When I grow up to be a boy.'
  • Will only play with the boy barbies doing 'boy-things'

Toy Story Girl

(Daughter) Daddy, I'm Buzz Lightyear!
(Daddy) Oh but you're a girl.
(Daughter) Oh, then call me Buzz Bo-Light-Year!
