This past week I wrote down some of the things that Anna has said that I thought were interesting or cute:
Mommy, can we go visit the polar bears sometime? I have an idea so they won't eat us. We will put on polar bear costumes and masks on our faces and make "Rooooar" sounds so they won't know that we are persons.
Mommy, why don't people fall off when they're on the other side of the world?
Mommy, how do animals who just make noises understand each other?
Well, well, well, Mommy? Do you know what the problem is when I try to eat beans? It makes my tongue itchy.
Alyssa and I were making jokes in the car, like this: "Trees grow on cars". Hahahahaha!
How much snow is there when it snows? (It depends, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot.) No, I mean how many snowflakes are there when it snows. (Uh ... a billion!) Wow!
Which one is the boy in Adamandeve? Was Adam a prophet? How can he be a prophet if he did something bad? Are only boys prophets, or girls?
Do you want to hear a song? "Happy Valentines, Happy Valentines, Happy Valentines, ..." All the verses are the same - it goes forever!
Do you know another way you can tell the difference between boys and girls? How they talk.
Is Caleb bigger or the tv? (the tv). But Caleb is a rectangle and the tv is a square, so Caleb is bigger!
What's the germ called that's on sugar? Is vacteria (bacteria) smaller than air?
Rachel, I need to go potty - do you want to come with me?
Mommy, can we go to the circus sometime? We've never been to a circus before.
Mommy, I think that when two people, if they want the same thing, they should take turns if they are wanting to play together.
Is the girl on the raisin box real or pretend? How do you make raisins? Do you need a machine to dry the grapes? Are farmers boys or girls?
(While eating fettuccine) I said to myself: that is some kind of pasta, but it's not spaghetti because it's a rectangle!
Can we sometimes go on an airplane to visit Chinese? I think we should bring pillows and blankets and lots and lots and lots of snacks.
What happens if a train goes off a track?
Why does Daddy like if people call him Dan and not Daniel?
I think there will be lions at the circus, but I think they won't hurt us. We should do tricks at the circus, like stand on a ball and not fall over.
If you can balance on two hands and then balance on one hand, you can walk on your hands!
(Re: the food processor) I think it gets more gooder every day because every day it tries something harder!
Why sometimes when you are happy you cry?
(Anna telling Rachel about the earthquake in Haiti) Well, Rachel, it was a very sad time. It wasn't great. I am sad for them. It was really bad, it knocked down people. About a thousand people died. We're going to send them some money to make them feel better. It was just a really sad time. We're going to do that so they can buy clothes, food and water and band-aids.
Mommy, do you know what? I traded with Rachel for what I wanted and do you know what? She wanted to trade! I think she thought how I feel and so she wanted me to be happy!
Mommy, did you throw away your shirt? (my favorite shirt that was chewed to pieces by the washing machine) Well, I have an idea! You could go to the same store where you bought it and go inside and see if they have one just like it! And buy it! When I was at Austin's house, do you know what? Well, the balloon popped and I said to her (Austin's mom, presumably) that she could go to the same store and buy some more and she said it to her kids! So, it's the same. Except for different things.
Mommy, do you know what? I'm a polar bear. This is how I jump - whoa! I keep my front claws on the ground.
Are there any dust up there, you know, where the stars are? How much?
Is there any giants on the earth now? I know a true story about a giant. Do you know what it is? Was Goliath bad? How bad was he? Did he want to kill people?
I have never met any bad guys before in real life. Have you met any bad guys before?
Mommy, what kind of birthday party do you want, like Spiderman or flowers or Dora?
Mommy, now Caleb understands about grabbing! If I give him something he sticks his little hand out and grabs it!
When is Heavenly Father's birthday? Is it Valentine's Day?
What would we do if a bad guy tried to buy our house and we didn't want him to?
Mommy, you should run with your toes first instead of the back of your foot so your back doesn't hurt. That's what I do.
How can Kermit and Miss Piggy be a mommy and daddy if they're not the same animal?
Do mommies and daddies live together even if they don't have kids?
