I got to Mom's to pick up the girls after work. Madelyn and her grandma were playing back in the bedroom. I went back there as Madelyn was opening the door. She saw me, yelled "Aaaahhhhhgggggg!!", slammed the door shut, and ran back into the room to hide.

When the pack and play is up for Alyson at Grandma's, Madelyn often has to play in it. She likes to play a game where she is a puppy and Grandma has to buy her and take her home.

Madelyn: Grandma, you have to take me home today.
Grandma: Oh no, I was going to get you on Saturday. I don't have a dog bowl, a bed, dog toys, or food.
Madelyn: But, Grandma, you're already in a pet store! Go over there and get it!
Grandma: You're always thinking.
Madelyn grinned.

I was trying to fix Madelyn's barrettes:

Me: Stand still.
Madelyn as Alyson came up to her and started to go around her: I'm not a real person.

Turns out she was pretending to be a statue since I told her to stand still.

In the car on the way home from Grandma's, suddenly and randomly:

Madelyn: Why did you put my pretzels in the refrigerator again?!
Me: We didn't! Daddy added them to your lunch this morning. Were they soggy again?
Madelyn: Yeah. Why were they soggy again?
Me: We'll put them in something different next time. We just need to experiment with a good container to put them in.
Madelyn: Okay.....

Before putting away the clean silverware from the dishwasher, Madelyn insisted on putting on a pair of her sunglasses.

"These are my night glasses. I wear them every night when I go to the bathroom and put away the silverware."

On Rt. 1 going from UMD to IKEA:

"That car looked like a caterpillar!"

Too bad no one else saw this car.

Yesterday we went to the mall and Madelyn was very confused about a car inside the mall for one of those giveaways. Today, while we were on the way home from Sam's Club, we saw a car transporter truck.

Madelyn: Why does that truck have cars on it?
Me: They use that truck to take cars to dealerships and other places where they are sold.
Madelyn: I guess that truck is going to the mall.
