Angelina's Mommy: Angelina! Did you make this mess?
Angelina (age 2 & ½): No, Nastasha did it.
Nastasha (big sister): I DID NOT!
Angelina's Mommy: Well, who did?Angelina: hmmm… Daddy did it.
Angelina (age 6) [to her godfather, Izzy, after meeting his newborn son]: He is sooo cute! I want to babysit him. I'll feed him and play with him and hold him!
Me: You can change his diapers too!
Angelina: Oh no! That's disgusting!
Me: I used to change your diapers.
Angelina: That's different because you're my honey and I'm your baby.
[When I would tickle her feet she gave her feet names! Here is what she called them]
Angelina (age 2 & ½): Punch & Bananas
Angelina (age 3): Thunder & Lightning
[When she would attempt to tackle me to tickle me]
Angelina (age 3 & ½): You BIG Rascal
[When she doesn't want to do something or sometimes just as an announcement because she is proud of this fact]
Angelina: I'm little
Angelina's Mommy: Mrs. Teri (Angelina's Kindergarten Teacher) loves you and is so proud of you
Angelina (age 4): I don't really love her
Angelina's Mommy: Why?
Angelina: Because she gives me homework
Me: Angelina, you have to stop growing, soon I won't be able to pick you up and hold you any more....
Angelina: Daddy says I need to grow or I'll just be a little chicken.
Nastasha (big sister): Let's play hide and seek
Me: I don't know if we should be running around in the house…
Angelina (age 3): one… two… three…
Me (to Nastasha): Let's hide under the table in the dining room so it isn't too hard for the baby to find us…
[Nastasha and I hide]
Angelina: …ten …eleven …twelve …thirteen …Ready or not here I come…
[We hear Angelina stomping around the hallway and the girls bedroom and then we hear Angelina crying]
Me, calling out: Angelina, keep looking sweetheart. You will find us!
[More crying – Nastasha and I come out of hiding to see what is wrong and walk towards Angelina. Angelina stops crying]
Angelina (laughing): TAG! You're it!
After Billy (cousin, my brother) was his usual obnoxious self and teasing her:
Angelina (age 4): JESUS WOULDN'T DO THAT!
Izzy (Angelina's Godfather): Hello. [Kisses Angelina]
Angelina: The police are going to come and take you away from the party.
Izzy: Why?
Angelina: Because I called them to take you to jail for being very naughty
Aunt Yoly-mama (my mom, this is what Angelina calls her): Angelina, that isn't a nice thing to say!
Angelina: I didn't really call them, I only used my hand, see: [Angelina puts her hand with her thumb towards her ear and her little finger towards her mouth to form a phone] Will you take Yoly-mama too [giggles]
Angelina (age 4): Do you have great big boobs or little tiny boobs?
Me: Angelina! What are you talking about?
Angelina: oh, you have little tiny boobs…
Me: Angelina, we don't talk like this, why are you talking this way, you don't even have boobs.
Angelina: oh, yes I do. I have little tiny boobs. Do you know why girls have great big boobs?
Me: why?
Angelina: So they can pop! Hahahahahahahahahaha
Me: Where did you get this? How did you come up with this?
Angelina: From myself. I'm magic.
Me: Angelina, do you see what they are doing up at the alter with the bread and wine?
Angelina: Yes, there is the Holy Spirit.
