We were at a store and Hayden says to me, rather loudly, "Daddy, I want to see you pee."
"What?"
"I want to see you pee."
Then I remembered that she likes to spell things out. So I said, "You want a cup (C-U-P)?"
"No, I want to see you pee."
Only five minutes later did I realize she was telling me she wanted to see the movie Up.

Long Time, No Post
It's been a long time in between posts, but the girls have been saying cute stuff in the interim.
For example, Marley likes to tell jokes and her current favorite one is the following:
Marley: You know what?
Innocent Victim: What?
Marley: Chicken butt.
Never fails. Nor do the variants, "You know why? Chicken thigh" and "You know who? Chicken tattoo."
Hayden 's birthday was a few days ago and we went to the sublime Dylan's Candy Bar to celebrate. It was a surprise though, and the girls were thrilled when they saw where we were going. Hayden was particularly thankful, and she told Beth:
"I forgot that I wanted to go here for my birthday, but I'm glad you didn't forget."
Hayden also graduated from preschool last week and Marley was sitting on my lap during the ceremony. I got a call on my cell phone, which was set on vibrate. Marley promptly announced: "Somebody's making a toot!" (That's what we call flatulence in Apt. 64.)
Hayden attended preschool in a synagogue and on the bulletin board one day were a series of Israeli flags that Hebrew school students made. So I asked Hayden if she knows what Israel is.
She said "Yes. That's where God lives."
Personally, I think She would prefer someplace where She could snowboard, but Hayden may be right.
Marley was telling me that she got some play-doh under her fingernail. I must not have expressed enough sympathy because she quickly insisted "Be very sad, Daddy."
Finally, Marley has been using a bunch of funny sayings lately. Maybe you just have to hear them come from her insistent, curly head, but I may as well list them here.
When Marley has to go to the bathroom, she invariably announces "I need to use the potty really badly."
Another one is that when Marley wants something she shouts out "I'm begging you Mommy!" or, more recently, "I'm really begging you Mommy!"
Tough to turn down.
