Blue book

Yesterday, BallFiend and Thumper were very excited to receive a letter in the mail, addressed to them.  BallFiend immediately opened it and found inside a gorgeous invitation to Cuz1’s first birthday party.

Today, I asked Thumper for ideas about what birthday present we could give Cuz1.
Thumper replied, “A book.” So I asked her what kind of book.
Thumper stated in no uncertain terms, “A blue book”.
Intrigued, I then asked, “What sort of blue book?”
Thumper said “One about lions... ummm no, I mean elephants".

So now I have the rather tall order of trying to find a blue book about elephants for Cuz1.

Big mouth

I want to have that whole big piece [of cantaloupe]. I can easily fit it in my mouth because I have a big mouth.

Sunscreen substitute

I left the room for a moment whilst Thumper and BallFiend were sitting at the table eating yoghurt.

When I returned, about 30 seconds later, Thumper's forearms and hands were completely covered with yoghurt.

Me "Thumper, why did you wipe yoghurt all over your arms?"

BallFiend: "She said she was putting on sunscreen."

Me: "Thumper, were you pretending it was sunscreen?"

Thumper: "No I was pretending it was sour cream."
