Watcha Say

Daily we find ourselves laughing/confused/bewildered about things that come out of Ella's mouth. We can't even begin to fathom how she comes up with most of it. Here are just a couple of examples:

#1. Ella: "Mommy, do you remember when I used to be a baby farm animal and you and Daddy used to visit me at the farm?"

Hmmmmm. Not particularly.

#2. Ella: "Sometimes Sissy throws up in my room. So then I throw up in her dog food."

To my knowledge this has never happened. Either statement.

#3. Ella: "Mommy, did you know that I used to be a princess?"

Me: "I did not."

Ella: "Yes, I was a princess in that castle."

[She points to the Ramada Inn hotel off the highway as we are driving.]

Me: "Really?"

Ella: "Yes, it was a couple of years ago when I was a little girl."

In her defense, the hotel is shaped like a castle. And a past like that would explain the sassiness.

#4. Me: "Ella, what would you like for lunch?"

Ella: "A rollaton."

Me: "What is a rollaton?"

Ella: "A rollaton is a biscuit that lives in Target."

By the way, 'rollaton' is said in a slightly French accent. Emphasis on the last syllable.

And finally, a picture from Halloween:
