Lord, they were born traveling girls

Our recent trip to Colorado brought with it some memorable quotes, etc., from America's favorite under-five fashion plates. So without further ado:

From the That's A Relief Dept.:

Hayden asked me one afternoon if she could have some lemonade. I told her that, sorry, we don't have any right now.

About an hour or so later, Marley was drinking some water and asked if she could have a lemon.

"Sorry honey," I answered, "we don't have any lemons here."

"We also don't have AIDS." Hayden added.

"What?" I said.

"You know, we don't have ades, because we don't have lemonade." Hayden said.

Oh those homynyms . . .

From the Maybe You Had To Be There Dept.:

Marley was playing Where Is Thumbkin on the plane ride home. (Rather loudly, not giving a whit for the other passengers. But tough beans. It was the afternoon. But I digress . . .)

Right after the first verse, she went right for "where is pinky" in the second verse even though she was holding up her pointer fingers.

"No sweetie," Beth corrected her, "that's your pointer. The little one at the end is your pinky."
Marley looked at it silently for a second and then exclaimed "It's so cute!"

So true.

From the All British People Must Be Related Dept.:

We caught the beginning of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone after Hannah Montana was over and, characteristically, Hayden wanted to watch it because she recognized it as entertainment targeted for kids older than her.

"What's this?" I asked Hayden.

"Oh, you know, it's Harry Poppins," she answered.
