Heard and Overheard, volume 4

Since the writers here at Photographs on the Dashboard often feel completely unoriginal and even downright boring, we figured we could exploit the children that roam around our house in hopes of entertaining you, our faithful visitors and sometime-lurkers. So here you go--real-life, actual-factual quotes from the ever-amusing Anna Kate and Elle. Enjoy. ....................................................................................................................

Me: "Elle, do you want a banana?" Elle: "What do you mean, a banana?"

Anna Kate: "I meeean...seriously."
Anna Kate, in English accent: "Mother, put my shirt on right now or I'll have to raise my voice and get bitter."

Elle
, after being asked what she did in Sunday school: "Drew a picture of Adaman Eve eating the no-no fruit."

Elle: "I didn't eat my boogers at school today."
"Good."
"I wiped them on my jeans."


Anna Kate
, after I suggested which color paint she should use on a homemade Christmas ornament, "Mommy, this is MY experience...MY life.......my dream."

a concerned Elle: "Mommy, why are you taking down the Christmas tree? You don't like Christmas?"
Elle: "I reeeally want Jesus to hold me up so I can touch the stars, Mama."

Anna Kate: "Mom. Elle doesn't like French fries?!? That's not American."


Elle, out of the blue, to AK: "You're my best friend."
Anna Kate, thinking a second: "You're MY best friend."
