What I dealt with at Target:

"Can I get Frozen panties, too?"
"Come here at look at this!"
"Can we look in the toy section?"
"But I don't want to buy any toys, I just want to look!"
"Do we need more vitamins?" (After pulling three bottles off the shelf.)
"Can I ride on the cart?"
"Do we need any party supplies?"
"Can I get more school supplies?"

Following this trip, we determined that my favorite word is "No" and I'm a mean mommy.

While coloring waiting for dinner, Madelyn declared, "I love coloring. It's an artist thing."

While eating lunch at the Green Turtle, the Maryland football game was on the TV at our booth.
Madelyn: Are we the white team?
Me: No. Look at the helmets.
Madelyn, noticing the Maryland flag helmets: Oh, yeah, we're definitely the red team.

In the car on the way to Delaware, Madelyn was telling us all about the variety of languages kids speak at home. She informed us that she speaks "one sprinkle of Chinese, two sprinkles of Spanish, and 100 sprinkles of English."

A boy in Madelyn's preschool class goes to her school, but is in a different Kindergarten class. They still see each other and play together at recess. Before bed tonight, Madelyn was talking about him.

Madelyn: When we are older can me and [boy] get married?
Me: If you both agree to it when you are old enough, of course you can get married.
Madelyn: Can we get married when we are like 10?
Me, trying not to laugh: No. You need to wait until you are at least 18.
Madelyn: So that we have time to get to know each other.

This kid is going to give us lots of gray hairs....

During dinner, Madelyn was telling us the names of some of the students in her class. She tried to pronounce a girl's name, but couldn't do it. She explained to us, "Sometimes it takes lots of practice to get your mouth to move like it's supposed to to say something." True.

Lately, Madelyn has taken to speaking random words in Spanish. Her accent is not very good.

Madelyn: Bor pabor. (Supposed to be "por favor")
Me: You need to work on your accent and pronunciation.
Madelyn: I speak Spanish differently from other people.
