After Madelyn tasted some of the chicken that was part of dinner:
"Eh, I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I'm in the middle. Actually, I love it!"
And she quickly ate another bite.

On the way home today, Alyson was being loud in the car. Madelyn was playing with the toy butterfly that they keep in the car, but I couldn't see that.
Alyson yelled/screamed something.
Me: Alyson, you are LOUD!
Madelyn: Yeah, loud enough to scream across a bridge and wake up a butterfly.

On the drive home today, Madelyn and Alyson (mostly Madelyn) were watching "Ice Age". At one point, Madelyn made an astute observation about Sid, "That guy never shuts up!" Tony and I started laughing because Madelyn never shuts up either!

While watching the concert on TV before the 4th of July fireworks:
Nana, referring to the woman singing: Poppop, I want some shoes like hers.
Madelyn: Me, too! Wait let me see her shoes.

While in Starbucks, Madelyn noticed a mural on the wall of a farmer with his hands full of coffee berries.
Madelyn: Are those cherries?
Me: No, those are the berries that have coffee beans in them.
Tony: The seeds of those are what coffee is brewed from.
Madelyn: Whoa! That's a lot of coffee!
(Note: While Googling to make sure they are called "coffee berries" I found that they are also called "coffee cherries". I will have to tell Madelyn.)

While packing for our weekend trip to see Nana and Poppop and attend the sure-to-be-amazing wedding of Hark and Colin:
Madelyn: Are you sure I won't get to see 4th of July fireworks?
Me: Yeah, sorry. I think it's supposed to rain here, so maybe it will rain enough to postpone them to next weekend or something.
Madelyn: Really? Good because I don't want to watch them inside on the TV.
Me: Regardless, we can see fireworks when we're at the beach.
Madelyn, really excited: Really?!?!?!

When I came to pick the girls up today:
Dad: Madelyn is going to be a fire woman.
Me: Why?
Dad: She slid down the pole at the park a lot today.
Madelyn, very proudly: I had to reach so far to do it! At first I was scared, but then I trusted myself, and I did it!
