seen and heard

on being smelly:

velzy: i think you tooted, ivy.

ivy: no, it was ariel.

velzy:  no it wasn't, princesses don't toot.

me: yes they do.

velzy:  then dad is a princess?

me: it smells. did you toot velzy?

velzy:  no, i didn't toot.  i think your body just smells bad because you went running.

on vanity:

seen- ivy sitting in the car with sunglasses on. i get out my camera and she takes them off.

heard- me: put the glasses back on, i want to take a picture

ivy: no, i want you to see my pretty eyes.  

ivy: papa calls me ocean blue because i have pretty blue eyes.  and i have marshmallow buns.

seen- velzy walking around the pool

heard- me: look at velzy's legs, they are so pretty.

a minute later i get out and walk around the pool.

luke: velzy, tell mom she has pretty legs.

vz: no, i am the one with the pretty legs.

bed time last night:

me: ivy, if you wake up with a dry diaper tomorrow morning-

ivy: i can probably have a chocolate, maybe. yes? ok.

vz: mom, come lay with me.

me: i can't, i have to go do the dishes.

vz: but are you so so tired?  

me: um, yeah.

vz: so make dad do them and go to sleep with me.

how to be a kook:

chat a little with skip frey in the water.  then take of on a wave and fall for no reason right in front of him as he is paddling back out.

then redeem yourself a while later and get a good wave right in front of him as he is paddling back out again and feel a lot better when he gives you a little hoot.
