More Clover-isms

- "We only have the 'get well' bug at our house." After discovering that our neighbor's kids were sick with the stomach bug.

- "The Lion will say 'Roar. Get out of here.'" That would be Emily's reason for not wanting to go to the zoo for her birthday.

- "I missed you." One morning, as I was getting out of the shower, Emily rushed into the bathroom to hug me and tell me that she missed me - rest assured, the shower was no longer than 5 minutes.

- "I spy....Jesus and his coaches." Errr, apostles. We always play I SPY after breakfast on Sunday mornings and it was Emily's turn - she was, of course, looking at a picture of the Last Supper...
- "Why is there a police car in your wedding picture?" See the previous Clover-isms post for Elizabeth's question about us getting married in the middle of the road....

- "Emily, I think that you should put the pink bear back in the toy box tonight. You are hurting Lambie's feelings when you don't take care of him." For two days, Lambie spent a good portion of the day on the floor of the girls' room because Emily was temporarily infatuated with a pink bear. Elizabeth was clearly concerned about Lambie.

- "Mommy, I want to help you make the cupcakes. I'm really good at licking the bowl." That would be Elizabeth, offering a helping hand.

- "That's not a unicorn, Emily, it's a horse. But nice try, though."
- "Mommy, I know why Elliot (our black lab) follows you around everywhere.  You have black hair and he has black fur all over, so he loves you."  But of course.
- "Hey Mommy - wait up!"  When did our five year old turn into a teenager?
