Putting the Colours Together

Scene: A very intense game of Connect 4X4 with Chris, Christopher, Juliet and myself.

Juliet giggling: Mommy you blocked yourself!!!
Me: Juliet, you know you want to put the colours together.
Juliet: Mmmhmmm (playing with pieces on the table)
Chris: Ya, did you see how she paid attention to you?
Me: Juliet! What do you want to do with the colours?
Juliet: PUT TWO IN!!
Me: NO! You want to put them together!
Juliet: Look I put two together! 
Every body just shakes their heads.

Side note: Juliet tends to win a lot of family game nights. Mainly because she is so out of it in her own world playing her own game. I am convinced now that it is all for show. She knows exactly what she is doing. She kicks our butts to much for it to be all chance. She is sneaky... so sneaky. She acts all innocent and cute but I know she is calculating.
On the first round tonight she won so fast! I think I only had 4 pieces on the board. When we saw she won we all started yelling and hitting the table like crazy people! Chris had his face in his hands saying I CAN'T believe it!!
Look at that face! 
Trying to act all surprised.

J

Right after Christopher finished reading her a letter book.

Juliet proudly says: A,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,I,j,k.
She stops. You can see a thought blossoming in her mind. She gasps! Her eyes light up! She points her little figure in the air and says: Hey! There is a J in the alphabet.

Alicorn


Scene: Juliet Christopher and I are driving home from picking him up from school.

Me: what is that animal called that is a unicorn with wings?

Juliet: Alicorn

Christopher: Those don't really exist.

Juliet: Well not in this world (duh)!

Christopher: No, they don't exist.

Juliet: They exist in Equestria...

Christopher: Juliet that is just a tv show.

Juliet: Ya of a different world (and she is looking at him like she just doesn't understand how he doesn't get that).

 
Side note: I have really noticed lately that Juliet really believes in different worlds. She always asks if certain animals live on our planet, or how do we get to other planets, or she tells me of things she is pretty sure happen in other worlds. I really don't want to burst that bubble of hers it just seems so magical.

It was in the sheep stomach! It was a duck egg!


Scene: Juliet, Christopher and I are driving home from picking him up from school. We are talking about our imaginary farm that we all dream about having. Christopher had just asked me if we would kill our sheep and I said no we will raise them for wool. Then Juliet joined the conversation.

Juliet: If the momma and the dadda sheep had a baby it would come out and hatch and then the momma would think there is a rock in her stomach.

Christopher: Sheep don't lay eggs.

Juliet: I know! That's why there is a rock in her stomach! Well she would think there is a rock in her stomach.

Me: Juliet, what are you talking about?

Juliet: The momma sheep would have a rock that she thought it was a rock in her stomach after her baby sheep came out and hatched and it was a duck.

Christopher: ....uuuuhhh....

Me: So the duck egg would come out of the sheep???

Juliet: NO!!!! ( said like I am an idiot)

Me: So then the rock is a rock? Inside the sheeps stomach?

Juliet: NO!!! The rock is a duck egg!

Christopher: Like did it slip in as the baby sheep was coming out?

Juliet: NO!!!! It was in the sheep stomach! It was a duck egg!!

Me: So the sheep is going to lay the duck egg?

Juliet: NO!!! The rock that is a duck egg it is in the sheep stomach that is going to come out and hatch and be a baby duck.

Me: So the sheep is going to lay the duck egg?

Juliet:..................................... Ya ( said in the key of duh).

Christopher: Can I have a turn to speak?

It finally happened

Scene: We were at Walmart going into an isle while a little person (not really sure what the proper term is...) was leaving the isle.

Juliet: (now this should be said in the "that puppy is the most adorable, ever" voice quite loudly while pointing) Look at that little person!

Side note: This has never happened with either of my kids. I have never had to deal with them yelling something embarrassing in public and oh I was so embarrassed!

See my plate!

Scene: Finishing up lunch.

Juliet: I finished all my lunch!
Me: What?! Really?... did you feed it to the dog? (because she doesn't eat, like ever)
Juliet: No! They are outside. I ate. It. All.
Me: Bring me your plate. Let me see.
Juliet: OKAY!
She goes and gets her plate and runs back all excited like.
Me: Um...
Juliet: See, I ate it all!
Me: Um, Juliet. (This is when I pulled my camera out)
Juliet: What? (I took a picture and then that's when she saw it.)

That is a wii remote... not a plate, just in case you don't know


















Juliet: Oh (giggle, giggle, giggle) that's not my plate!

I don't want to get sick.


Scene: Driving home from playgroup.

Juliet: I really wanted to go outside with N.
Me: It's to cold to play outside and it is raining.
J: Oh. I really wanted to play outside with him.
Me: Juliet, it is so cold and rainy outside. It's not a good idea.
J: I really wanted to run through the sprinkler.
Me: No! You would get so wet and cold.
J: But I have my raincoat on.
Me: It doesn't work like that. You can't get wet outside you will get so cold.
J: But I have my raincoat on...
Me: Juliet if you go outside and get wet and cold you could get sick.
J:......................... Is it my bath night?
Me: Yes....
J: Well I guess I can't take a bath tonight then... I get wet and get cold in the bath and I don't want to get sick.
