First, Happy Thanksgiving to all those folks out there that are celebrating today!  May you have a great day, filled with wonderful traditions, delicious food, and fun.

This week, I'm up in Pennsylvania with my grandparents/parents, who are enjoying seeing and playing with their great-/grandchildren (and giving Dee and I a much needed reprieve!)  In the course of playing with everyone, Violet has come up with quite a few funny little statements and phrases that are worth sharing:

We were discussing traffic lights and what the different colors meant.
Me: Okay, it's a Red Light, what does a red light mean?
Violet: Red light means STOP!
Me: Good!  Now what does a Green Light mean?
Violet: GO!
Me: And what does a YELLOW light mean?
Violet: Yellow means GO FAST!
Me: Ahh…and who's been teaching you that??   I bet it's Mommy!
Violet: Yeah!

Violet asked to sing some songs.  When I prompted her on what song she wanted to sing, she said she wanted to sing, "Mary had a little MAN".  Puts a whole different spin on the lyrics if you sing it that way….

One night, as she was getting ready for bed, she said, "Daddy, I'm big and strong! (Poses with her arms showing muscles).  I replied, "Yes, honey, you ARE big and strong."  Then she followed it up with, "I have a strong SMILE!" and posed again, this time matching it with a blinding visage of cuteness.  Once again, I had to agree with her.

A Strong Smile

Last night, on our drive back from my grandparents' house, Violet, who's been on a Dora the Explorer kick, asked about what some words were in Spanish.

Violet: What's the word for hello in Spanish?
Me: You know that…it's…
Violet: Hola!
Me: Right!  And what's goodbye in Spanish?
Violet: Adios!
Me: Good Violet!
Violet: What's the word for car in Spanish?
Me: Um, I think it's coche.
Violet: And what's the word for driving in Spanish?
Me: Mmm…I'm not sure.  We'll look it up when we get home, okay?
Violet: I know it!  It's Hota Taco!
(I didn't know how to follow that up, so I didn't even try….)

Violet and Rosalie were playing by some toys, and Violet accidentally pushed Rosalie a bit, which made her fall down.  I asked Violet to apologize:

Me: Violet, I know you didn't mean to push Rosie, but she fell over because you pushed her.  Can you tell Rosie you're sorry?
Violet: (In the most pitiful voice ever) Rosie, you're sorry.

Happy Thanksgiving!
