I was telling Madelyn about a training I'm going to have to travel to for work.

Me: I can't do the one that's local because that's the week we'll be in Myrtle. I'll have to go to one of the other ones.
Madelyn: Well, if you wanted to, you could just go to the training and we'll go to the beach.
Me: Um, no!
Madelyn: Just saying you could if you wanted to....

She got tickled for that one.

The girls were playing with Legos and were incorporating a lot of the figures into a story based on Doc McStuffins. Constantly from the living room one would say, "Pretend..." and some idea. Then, they would do it. Eventually, I picked up on the story line they were playing.

Me: Are you pretending that Doc turned into a toy?
Madelyn: Yeah! It was Alyson's idea!
Me: That's a really cool idea!
Madelyn, in shock: Really?!?!

This afternoon, the girls and I were looking at Tony's Amazon wish list to pick something to order for his birthday. We picked one item, and then I added a couple more to the cart. Madelyn was surprised and asked, "We're not buying all of it, are we?!?!"

While in the car on the way back from the Aquarium, Alyson wanted to play with Madelyn.

Alyson: Let's play sisters!
Madelyn: Ummmm... We ARE sisters!

While at Mom and Dad's for Easter today, we were talking about Harry Potter some, specifically about kids watching the movies before reading the books. Madelyn was in shock and exclaimed, "You HAVE to read the books before you see the movies!"

Madelyn was almost finished her dinner tonight, but still had a lot of asparagus left. She actually had already eaten a lot and had a lot to begin with. We all know little kids often have problems pronouncing words. This was one of those times, when Madelyn told us, "I'm not going to finish my exparigus."

During dinner I was talking about the stability chambers at work.

Madelyn: Every time you say "chamber" I think "Chamber of Secrets"!
Me: Well, most of them are just the size of a big refrigerator. But, our new one is a room, so you can walk into it. It could be like the Chamber of Secrets.
Madelyn: You should call it the Chamber of Secrets!
Me: That would be better than WSC01 for walk-in stability chamber 01. We could call it Chamber of Secrets 01. 
Madelyn: Yeah!
Me: Wait, it should be Chamber of Secrets 02 since there is already a Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts.
Madelyn: Only call it that with us. Don't tell anyone else. Are you going to tell your group on Facebook?
