More Quotable Quotes

Can I just say that I love my kids?  One of the many reasons is that they say the most awesome and random things.  Miriam of course is the queen of random quotes, but Elijah and even David are starting to join in the club.  Here are a few of my recent favorites

All the kids are upstairs in their beds when I hear David start screaming.  I open the door to their room and this is what I hear.
David: Didi da wo! (brother hit me)
Me: Elijah, did you hit your brother?
Elijah: Nope
Me: Elijah, remember that you need to tell the truth.  Did you go over to David's bed?
Elijah:  Uh....probably?

Miriam after getting angry at something she couldn't have:  I don't feel like beauty at all right now, I only feel like the beast!

Me:  Look at all the dog hair on the couch.  We'll have to get Abba to clean it up.
Miriam:  Abba, there is a huge quantity of dog hair on this couch!

Elijah, pointing to his orange shirt:  Mama, look at me!  I so pretty!
Me:  You are such a handsome little man
Elijah: No handsome, I pretty

Me: David, what is this picture?
David: Eh Ba Ben!!! (aka elephant)
Me:  Good job!!!  What sound does an elephant make?
David:  AAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

And one of my favorite recent quotes from Miriam's good friend Bree
Bree:  Look, I think I see a raccoon!!!
Me, peering at the banks of the small river next to our house:  Where do you think the racoon is?
Bree:  Oh never mind, it's just a dead fish (in fact a very small goldfish lying on a rock)
