A Four To Be Reckoned With

I was so fortunate to have been chosen by Stasha @NorthWestMommy to pick this week's Monday Listicles topic - and I've been waiting all week long to finally post my list! The topic I chose: Ten Things Quotable.

I've thought about this all week, desperate to come up with a really creative, unique post. I was going to do a list of "you know you're a mom when you say...", or "ten song lyrics I've had wrong", but coming up with a full list of ten was next to impossible. I've been posting quotes by my little Sassy McSasserson on Facebook (and later Twitter) since she was two, and my friends have always told me that I could write a book with the things that come out of her mouth. Now that she's 4, she's definitely a four to be reckoned with. So tonight, my list is going to be about my quotable kid.

1) "Can I please have some scotch mommy?"
    Me: "Why?"
    "So we can play hop scotch silly!"
    (almost 3 years old)

2) "Can we please go to the park mommy?...Annnd I don't mean Park Royal."
    (almost 3 years old - note: Park Royal is a mall near our house)

3) "Mommy, if Gavin is your son, then he is my sunshine."
    (3 years old, falling in love with her little brother)

4) "I'm going to call Gavin GIRL-vin from now on cause he cries so much."
    (3 years old, realizing that babies cry. Alot.)

5) "Gramma, you would be able to finish your lunch a lot faster if you didn't talk so much."
   (3 years old, it was really hard not to laugh at this one)

6) "Aww man, you shoulda choosed a different baby mama."
   (3.5 years old, when Gavin spilled a glass of milk)

7) "Mommy, my eyes aren't watery because I have a cold, they're watery because I had a really big poo at daycare today."
   (3.5 years old, said at the dinner table when we had guests over)

8) Nana: "What size are your shoes Emma?"
   "The same size as my feet, obviously!"
   (almost 4 years old)

9) Me: "Now do you understand what you did wrong Emma?"
   "Ya, I shoulda said Gavin did it."
   (almost 4 years old)

10) "Technically I DON'T have to eat all of my dinner before I can clear the table."
   (4 years old, and sassier than ever!)

And that's my list! I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!

Is it wrong that I wish she had her middle finger up in this pic?

  3. You have a smart one there. I'm amazed at the things she could come up with at 3 years old. Your friends are right, you can write a book of her quotes and you should!

  8. These are terrific and I can't stop laughing. They just kept getting funnier and funnier as I read down the list :) What a clever, witty daughter you have! #7 is my favorite because for her to remember the incident earlier in the day means it was pretty major in her little world :)

  9. Ha, she's hilarious!

    The sass has already started around here, and Lilah is only two, so I can just imagine what two more years will do for that mouth of hers...

  10. Kids say the greatest things sometimes. As parents sometimes it is so hard not to just laugh. Adorable!! What's she going to be saying when she is a teen? haha

  11. This list is hilarious! You must carry a recorder with you at all times and chronicle her many quotes. Someday when she is older, you can all laugh at her cuteness!

  20. Oh my God, 7 and 8 kill me! Well - all of them do!! Your daughter should meet my daughter - they are very similarly unusually verbal and witty at such a young age. I always wonder what I was saying at that age - like, did I even speak? Compared to these two, I feel like I was so witless I was practically mute!
    You've got such a witty kid there!!

  21. OMGosh! That list is so funny!!!
    My kids say things all the time too. Once, when my oldest son was about 3, he asked his balding uncle why he shaves his head. HAHAHAHA!

  22. I'm going to use the shoe one! Do you think it will be as funny from an old lady as it is from a 4-year-old?
