- "Do you know what I like better than presents? My best aunts - Aunt Denise, Grammy and Grammy." Even in the midst of receiving birthday presents, Elizabeth kept family number one.
- "It's tough being a kid. You don't get to pick what to do." Poor Elizabeth.
- "When I grow up, I'm going to work at Brown's and take lobsters out of the tank. Any my name will be Miss Leah." I'm not quite sure why she needs to change her name, but we're just happy that Elizabeth said that her family will be able to eat for free...
- "Emily, are you having corn tonight?" "No. Nice try, though." She sounds more like me every day.
- "If Elliot swims in the water, he will get an ear confection." That's ear infection, but close enough Emily.
- "You don't have to call her Mummy. You can call her Maureen." Emily seemed concerned that Aunt Denise was calling me the "wrong" name.
- "I think that man is from another world." Elizabeth seemed a bit concerned about the mission priest at our church last weekend because he spoke with a heavy accent, but never fear, I explained that he was from another country, not another world.
- "There's a 'shoo-fly' - we call them 'shoo-flies' because we have to shoo them away." Great reasoning, Emily!
- "Will they be able to tell if it's a boy or a girl when the baby is born?" Elizabeth asked, the night before her cousin Theo's birth. "Yes." "How?" "By the size of the trunk," explained Emily.
- "I don't want to snuggle with you anymore. Your legs are sharp." Apparently, Emily doesn't like to snuggle with with me when there is stubble on my legs.
- "Doctor! Doctor! I need you!!" Elizabeth, screaming for the doctor at the top of her lungs as the nurse attempted to give her a shot at her doctor's appointment. Although she handles pain quite well, she seems to have an irrational fear of pain.
- "I think that Santa flies to our house every night to check my list and then flies back to the North Pole and tells the elves what I want so that they can make it." By August, Elizabeth was already working on a detailed Christmas list.
- "Why don't you want to sit next to Daddy, Emily? He's not mean. He's nice. He buys us everything we ask for."
- "I wish that there were no bugs, but only butterflies and mops [moths]." So said Emily after a few minutes in the backyard left her covered with mosquito bites, including another one on her face.
- "Grandpa cooks fresh swordfish...and fresh tuna...and fresh steak...and chocolate..." Okay, he doesn't exactly cook chocolate, but Elizabeth knows where he hides it!
- "Mummy, if your belly hurts, maybe you shouldn't do all that running." I'm quite sure that running (which I didn't even do that day) had nothing to do with my tummy ache, but Emily wasn't convinced.
- "I put the wrong batteries in my brain this morning. I used the silly ones instead of the ones that I need for school." That's our elizabeth.
