Sunday Shoes

We watched "Footloose" on Saturday.


Apparently, Lizzy really liked the music.


Our Sunday conversation:


Lizzy, kicking off her shoes: "What day is it?"
Me: "Sunday."
Lizzy: "Good, cuz I just kicked off my Sunday shoes.. footloose!"

Chicken Butt

Lexi: "Lizzy, do you want to take swimming lessons this summer?"
Lizzy: "Chicken butt."
Lexi: "Is that a yes or a no?"
Lizzy: "What? Chicken butt means 'yes' in Chinese!"

An Auntie

Brad to Lizzy, Lexi, and Morgan: "You girls have to promise me something - you won't all get married in the same year. No way can we pay for three weddings in one year."
Lizzy: "Well that's ok. Because I'm not going to get married.'
Brad: "You're going to be a nun?"
Lizzy: "No, my am going to be an auntie. For aunties are waaaay cooler than moms."

Scoreboard

Lizzy, from the back of the van as she tried to read her new watch: "Mom, what time is it?"
Me: "Why are you asking me? Don't you have a new watch?"
Lizzy: "Well yes, but don't you have a little scoreboard thingy up there that tells time?"
Me: "You mean a clock?"
Lizzy: "Yes, a scoreboard.'

"When I'm grown up"

Lizzy: "Mom, you know you won't know me when I'm grown up."
Me: "Um, why not?"
Lizzy: "Because you'll be old. And you won't recognize me."

Fast People

Lizzy: "My wish we were fast people."
Me: "Why?"
Lizzy: "So then we would never be late again."

Rock and Roll

Lizzy, to Jake while playing Rock Band on the Wii: "Pause it for a minute. I'll be right back."

Lizzy runs into her bedroom, and comes back with her hair pulled back and asks: "Does this look like rock and roll now?"
