Avoiding the Spanish Inquisition...the Corinne way:

Mom: "Where are you going?"
Corinne: "Nowhere"
Mom: "What are you doing?"
Corinne: "Nothing"
Corinne: "JUST COOK DINNER!"

...as Corinne tries to sneak past Mom for some dry shorts and panties after a pee "accident".

"What's that about?"

I just want to remember the phrase that Corinne always uses when she wants to understand something that Diane or I have said, whether she didn't hear it or didn't understand it...

While walking around the block with the darlings...

Cheeks: "Where are we going?"
Mom & Dad in two-part harmony: "Crazy!"
Cheeks: "Where are we going after that?"

"Mommy...I HATE YOUR FLOOR!"

Corinne, feeling rather ornery after being disciplined by Mother, resorted to stomping through the kitchen. As that was not enough to get Mommy's attention, the girl had to make sure she tossed out an insult.

"But then you will be dead and you won't wash dishes."

This was Corinne's reply to Diane warding off sharks by punching them...

So, you may be able to sleep when you're dead, but you can't wash dishes.

"I want the house painted bright red with pick, bubbly spots!"

We are accepting any and all suggestions...

Thanks Lindsay!

Thanks Lindsay!

Corinne gets a dragon on Nick's Birthday! What a deal!

"I want to be a mommy"

"No. I want to be a daddy."
"No. I want to be a mommy. Then we (The Mommy and I) can shop"

...I'm in big, big trouble. Some folks save for college; I am starting to save for teenage shopping.

Potter vs. Barney

Cheeks: "Nick likes Harry Potter."
Dad: "Do you think you'll ever like Harry Potter?"
Cheeks: "Actually, I like Barney."

They look as scared as I am ...

"I want to be where Nick is 'cause that's my favorite place."

...and anywhere that favorite place is, is indeed better than the toothbrushing place dad is cajoling her to locate...

"No. That's not my favorite thing."

Corinne's answer to Nick at the breakfast table say: "Corinne, after breakfast I am going to boil you."
