Not particularly funny, but appropriate. When we were walking to the car after I picked her up from preschool:

"Brrrrrr! It's cold!!!"

While I was fixing dinner, the girls were playing mostly in the kitchen. Alyson would stand up at Madelyn's stool and push it across the room. Paraphrased a bit because I was too busy fixing dinner to write it down. :-(

Madelyn: No, Alyson, you cannot stand up! I glued your legs to the floor with the strongest glue ever! You are stuck there.

Madelyn walks into the living room and Alyson stands up again.

Madelyn comes back: No! Alyson! I said you cannot stand up!

Alyson just looks at her like uh-huh sister.....

I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Madelyn was bouncing around upstairs with only the energy that a 4-year-old can have. She came in to see what I was doing.

Madelyn: Mommy, are you going to get up?
Me: No. I want to sleep. Why do you have so much energy?
Madelyn: Because I slept really good! You should sleep to get energy. You need to sleep 8 hours.
Me: So, I should go back to sleep for 8 hours?
Madelyn: Yup.
Me: Okay, why don't you go tell Daddy that you told me to sleep for another 8 hours?
Madelyn, walks off: Daddy! Mommy said she's gonna sleep for 8 hours.

All of these happened in the 10 minute drive from one birthday party to the next today.

First

"The snow is like glue because they are both white."

Second

Talking about deciding that she is going to be a sheriff when she grows up and making sure that there can be girl and boy sheriffs:

"Maybe Grandpa can be a boy sheriff when he grows up."

Third

Seeing a sign for a vineyard:

"There are grapes on the sign so we need to watch out for bumps in the road or grapes."

Tony was teasing Madelyn and telling her that when he finished his plate at dinner he would then move onto hers, then Alyson's, and then mine. She didn't want him to do that. 

"If you eat all this food, you'll get a real big bad tummy ache."

While driving home from Mom's:

Madelyn: Maybe we can play Happy Birthday again tomorrow.
Me: Were you celebrating everyone's birthday?
Madelyn: No, just the grown-ups. GG, Grandma, Grandpa, and me.

Okay, let me first start this off by saying that I mean absolutely no offense to any pregnant mommas out there, but this was funny!

We met a random family with a 4-year-old girl at the Aquarium today. Madelyn and the little girl instantly bonded and tried getting a playdate set up before we left. After we left, I was explaining to Madelyn that we probably wouldn't see them again for a while because the mom is pregnant and due Jan. 19. Her response:

"She looked like Santa because she had big belly."
