Erin-isms as of late

Some interesting quotes (or as near as we can remember them!)

"Mom, me and Bubba (stuffed bunny) are gettin' pretty and are going to go see my barn. Wanna get pretty with us and come along?" (since when it is necessary to get "gussied up" to visit a barn? no idea, but she was stunning, with jeans, hot pink shirt, too-small pink hat, Sunday shoes, and a big red bag to accessorize!)

Erin: "Gwanma, whatcha been doing today?"
Grandma G: "I've been sewing a new jacket."
Erin: "Oh, you're making a new jacket to wear outside?"
Gma: "Well, it's for Grandma to wear to Mitch's wedding. Grandma hopes she gets it done, cause it's been kinda hard!"
Erin: "Oh, it's been kinda hard? Kinda twicky?"
Gma: (laughing) "Yeah, kinda tricky."
Erin: "I'm sorry Gwanma, I hope it's not so twicky tomorrow for you. Good job Gwanma!" (a little cheer is good for the motivation, I guess!)

At a stoplight in Lawrence. Light turns from red to green. As the cars around us begin moving forward, Erin, with arm in the air proclaims, "Good for you, cars! Way to go!" (again, maybe even random drivers need a pat on the back and a "right arm" compliment!)

1:00am, Sat. night. Mommy enters Erin's room (Erin has supposedly been sleeping) to find lights on, Erin lining up pieces of crayon on her table, completely sans clothing and diaper, talking to the crayon bits ... "You are my keys! We've got to get dressed so we can go to the livary (library) and unlock the doors. We'll have to get a bow in our hair! Come on, come on! Hurry to get to the livary! Oh, hi mommy. We're going to go to the livary, and these are my keys, and we're going to unlock the doors! Want to come with us and unlock the doors? You need to get ready!" (Erin has never visited a library -- we've had lots of books at home -- but tonight we watched part of the movie Matilda, and the little girl there visits the library everyday, and so Erin is excited to visit. She now has a dress picked out for the event on Monday!)

Erin and Mommy are playing on the landing of the stairs, looking in the "grass" at all the "animals". Suddenly,
Erin: "Mommy, shhh, do you hear that?"
Mommy: "Hear what?"
Erin: "It's a bunny crying."
Mommy: "Why is it crying?"
Erin: "You're sitting on it!!! Mommy, mommy, you're sitting on the bunny!"
Mommy: "Where? Which way should I scoot?"
Erin: (hands flailing madly) "Mommy, can't you see it? It's a pink bunny! You're squishing it!"
Daddy: (a few hours later, chuckling heartily) "Yeah, mommy, can't you see the pink bunny? Come on, it's right there!" (thanks, Daddy!)

That's about it for now. I may have to go into the pink bunny story later, but it's late, and the laundry I've been waiting for is now ready to head into the dryer. Thought you'd enjoy a few more Erin Tales!
