I don't usually keep track of malaprops, but I liked these.
Marley wanted me to do something for her so she said, "Daddy, can you do me a favorite?"
In the same vein, Hayden and I were playing a Hannah Montana Makeover game on the computer (keep in mind this was during the NFL playoffs; oy). They have different categories for makeovers, like hair, eyes, lips, and accents (jewelry, hair clips, etc.). Anyway, Hayden kept calling the last category "accidents."

Beth's Work is Never Done
Beth was lying down with Hayden and rubbing her arm gently.
"Mommy," Hayden said, "how do you always know just what to do to make me feel better?"
"It's my job as your Mom." Beth said.
"No, Mommy," Hayden told her. "Your job is to give money to companies around the world."
It turns out that both of Beth's jobs are full time.

New Quotes for the New Year
Here are some of the latest notable quotes from 2009:
Hayden loves to show off her foreign language skills by sprinkling in some non-English words here and there. For example, instead of saying she wants to watch High School Musical 2, she says "I'd like to watch High School Musical Dos." (Marley responds by saying she'd like to watch Tinkerbell Uno, but that's another story.)
Anyway, it doesn't always work so well. Marley said she'd like a lollipop and Hayden quickly said "Me dos!"
Two of Marley's favorite things are (1) running around after her diaper comes off and before a new one comes on, and (2) treating her father like a jungle gym. She recently combined these faves.
The other day, I was lying on my stomach helping Hayden with a workbook that she loves. In the meantime, Beth was trying to change Marley's diaper. Marley was running around with a bare tush giggling, eluding Beth's grasp.
Then, before sitting down on me, Marley yells out "Who wants a tushie on their back?" It wasn't me, but I did have to laugh.
One of Hayden's favorite things to do is to play the stalling game during bedtime. When Beth or I are lying down with her before bed, she always asks us to lie down for one more minute. Or she'll ask pointless questions to get us to stay around.
Anyway, the other night I finally freed myself from Hayden's room only to have her call out "Daddy-O! Daddy-O!" about ten minutes later.
"What is it?" I asked Hayden impatiently.
"I need to go to the potty," she replied. So I carried her to the bathroom and waited there for her to complete her business.
I was pretty upset since I had just started my dinner and I was tired of Hayden's playing games, so I said to Hayden "You know, you could have just gotten up and gone to the bathroom without calling me."
"I was too tired," Hayden said.
Annoyed, I said, "Well, I'm tired too from carrying you around."
Hayden quickly said, "Well, you know . . ."
"You know, what?"
"If you're tired, you can always lie down in my bed with me."
That girl. Always thinking.
