Here are some recent things Mia has said that we find funny even though she drives us nuts sometimes.

Mia to Papa: I don't love boys, but I love you Papa.

My sugar and spice. She has decided that she does not like boys, but she still has some friends who are boys. Like the one who kept ramming her with the shopping cart while she was in a car at school.

Papa went upstairs after eating some yummy nori wrapped seaweed crackers because he heard Mia leave her room at bedtime.
Papa: Stay in bed, don't break the rules!
Mia: Taking a more pronounced sniff, What smells so good Papa?
She sussed out the scent of her favorite crackers. Ken came downstairs doubled over in laughter. I gave her the remainder of the bag the next day during her snack time. She didn't seem to make a connection.

Mama: When you grow up you will leave Mama and Papa to go to a school called college. Mama and Papa left home for college when we grew up.
Mia: Don't worry, I will come back home.
Mama: That would make me very happy.
Mia: Didi needs money for college too. (This is because Mia has a piggy bank from her Uncle Yukon and Aunt Helen that says money for college. Didi has a bank too, but Mia knows she has more coins in hers)

Mia: Mama, do you know Barbie?
Mama: Where did you learn about Barbie from?
Mia: From school today.
Mama: Who told you about Barbie?
Mia: A----
Mama: Oh, during sharing time that is what A---- brought?
Mia: Yes, it was one that looked like Tinkerbell but wasn't Tinkerbell.

Guess I could not keep her sheltered from the world of Barbie. The princesses infiltrated first. I'll try to keep Barbie at bay for another year or so. . .
