Megan is a lot more conversational in the last 4 months, so some of her quotes and exchanges are definitely worth immortalizing. She may have a sort-of grasp of the english language, but she's still a preschooler. It's a good time.
Me: Well, should we brush our teeth?
Megan: No, I don't want to.
Me: Oh, but if you don't brush your teeth then the germs in your mouth will go potty on your teeth and make holes in them, and then you will need to go to the dentist and he'll have to drill all the bugs out and put in junk to fill the hole.
Megan: *pregnant pause* I want to brush my teeth.
Megan: When I turn six, my teeth will pop out, and a fairy will come and give me two presents! But I am three right now. Am I much much old now? Or am I only much old?
Megan: Is my fish still napping in the potty? (One of her fish died)
Megan: Is the water going to drip out? Is there going to be a potty problem? (Megan says this EVERY SINGLE TIME she uses the potty. She's worried the toilet will overflow, and she won't flush it until I tell her, "no, the water isn't going to drip out.")
Megan: I need to call Daddy. I need to tell him that I did a nice thing. I mean, I did a bad thing. Call Mike, I will tell him. I pushed on Robby's face, and I pushed and pushed and he cried and I didn't stop when you told me to. (None of this was true, but when I offered to let her call and tell him anyway she said, "NO NO NO!")
Megan: I'm stop, Robby is slow, and you are go. (It took me a minute, but I realized that we were walking all three of us holding hands with Robby in the middle, and Megan was likening us to a stoplight. She wasn't commenting on Robby's intelligence.)
Megan: Oh, excuse me. heh heh... I tooted... (everytime she breaks wind, even if we didn't hear it. Although usually we do. That girl could put a trucker to shame.)
Megan: Hey, there's a carebear in your closet!
Me and Mike: (quickly closing the closet to hide the enormous carebear we bought on clearance for a future birthday present) No there's not. That's a sweater.
Megan: That sweater in your closet is a carebear! That's not a sweater, it's TRUE HEART! Can I see its belly badge?
Us: No, there's not a carebear in there (truth: there are 7 carebears in there).
Megan: I NEED TO SEE IT!!!! I NEED TO SEE ITS BELLYBADGE!!!!!!!
Megan: Get him away from me! Get Robby away! He wants to attack me! He's going to try to eat me! (This is pretty much what I hear all day long)
Robby speaks now, and though these aren't as much quotes as a list of his vocabulary, they are still cute!
Robby: Let go!
Robby: No no no no NOOOOOOO
Robby: I want _____ (insert: goo-goo, dduhdduh, cheese, etc)
Robby: Show? Show? (meaning tv show or movie)
Robby: Doggie! Doggie! (his blue doggy grandma made for him)
Robby: Ginky (binky)
Robby: Eyuh Eyuh Eyuh (E-I-E-I-O)
Robby: Ball! (pronounce mmmmmmBAH!)
Robby: DDDDD-UH! (Robby's all-purpose frustrated noise. Usually said while simultaneously throwing nearest object. If there is nothing convenient, he takes out his binky and flings it.)

I've been keeping a list for weeks of quotes to post up for the kids because they've been so entertaining lately.
This is beyond coincidence, stalker!
I think I know where you got "the germs in your mouth will go potty on your teeth." You know Megan will tell her daughter the same thing! I didn't hear it from my mom because germs hadn't been invented yet.
I have a new game. When you leave a comment you also leave a definition of your word verification word.
flested: adj; conjunction of flat and chested: "She is quite flested, so I don't think she would do as a swimsuit model."
