The scene: Just now as abigail_m and I were walking up our driveway to the street level we saw two police cars that had pulled over someone for who-knows-what. The cops had the perp out of the car and were talking to him and rummaging around in his car.

me: "hey! they blocked the driveway!"
abigail_m: "what?"
me: "look, those two police cars parked right in front of our driveway!"
Abby: "yeah! it's like they think it's a parking lot!"

Abby will be three on Monday.

abigail_m has declared that while egg noodles shall still be called egg noodles, tortellini shall henceforth be called "tiny pasta"

earlier:

me: "ready for dinner?"
abigail_m: "noooo....."
me: "why not? aren't you hungry?"
abby: "i am, but... I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER dot com" *grin*
me: ...

abigail_m: "can i borrow your credit card because i don't have a credit card"

when did my daughter learn the word "officially"?

abby: "winking, blinking, winking blinking ..."
me: "fireflies at night."
abby: "but what's the rest of it?"
me: "i don't remember."
abby: "me either. i should google it."
me: "and, how would you do this?"
abby: "i would get on my computer and look for it on the internet."

sayeth abigail_m, pointing out the dining room window: "I want to look out the window because there's a screensaver out there!"

me: "cats purr when they're happy. what do you do when you're happy?"
abigail_m: "i laugh at people."

me: "abby, stop dilly-dallying! you know, the longer you just lay on the ground instead of putting on your jacket, the longer it'll be before we can go outside and play in the snow..."

abigail_m: "eat the booger!" *sticks out her finger with a booger she picked*

... "eat it!"

me: "ahh." *sits on the couch*
robin: "hey, i just cleaned that off so i could sit there. don't be a mofo!"
