She said

When she’s trying to stall:

*Gianna stops to look toward front door*

Me: What are you doing, Gianna?

G: Oh, nuffin, just looking at something ober here.

Me: Oh… what are you looking at?

G: A Raccoon.

*I just stared at her….what in the world?!!*

------------------------------------------

When finally deciding she wants to eat dinner:

*stops playing outside, pulls princess table over, sits down in chair and crosses her arms in front of her*

G: “I’m ready for my waffle now”

*more staring at her and laughing*

Me: “Sure thing, kid”

--------------------------------------------

While stalling at meal time:

*moves food from one area of her plate to the other*

Me: “what are you doing to your lunch?”

G: “oh. they is sisters. they want to take a nigh-nigh now”

Me: “huh, you don’t say…..”

----------------------------------------------

After she has calmed down from a major meltdown:

G: “I’m sssssssorry, Mommy.”

Me: “Thank you G. What are you sorry for?”

G: “For, like, screamin out. And, like, yellin.” :: statement complete with huge arm movements and serious ‘tude ::

Me: “Okay, I love you. Please tell me mommy when you are mad about things”

G: “Mkay. Can I have a treat?”

----------------------------------------------

On the way to the fair:

G: “We gunna see the aminals?”

Me: “Yea, what animals would you like to see?”

G: “the horsies. and the sheeps. And the llamas – they spit. And they don’t need their coat”

Me: “Won’t they get cold without it?”

G: “Nah, they be good”

 

everyday she says something that cracks me up. I wish I could put a wire on her to record the hilarity.
