How to Reply? #2

This is a continuation of How to Reply: (all of these were random.)

Again, she never fails to surprise me...and I never quite know what to say back...


"Man!! We can't play dog walkie talkie anymore..."

"I really wish that snails could have babies."

"Did you see that lady? I think she only had four toes. Her mom must be very disappointed in her."  *shakes her head*

"It is so cool how they criss-cross the highways. I just LOVE it."

"I want my husband to be thin. If he isn't then I'm going to feed him healthy stuff. And, if he asks why I'm feeding him healthy stuff, I will tell him that he needs to be more healthy." 

This was from a couple years ago. She's all sweaty..like usual. :)

"How come some eggs don't have babies in them?"

"Does drinking too much coffee make your teeth rot off?"

"What if one twin was Asian and the other was black....that would be awesome."

(While eating a jolly rancher) "I get the jolly part, I just don't GET the rancher..."

"I don't wanna be like Daddy, where my eyes don't like contacts."

"I'm pregnik." (Translation: pregnant. She has a blanket shoved under her shirt.) 

She makes me smile...

Deals with a Dog

Jilliane: "Every deal Zac (our dog) and I make is over a bone."
Me: "You make deals with him? Like what?"
Jilliane: "Well, we argue with who can run faster and stuff like that. I always win though."


Apparently, she and Zac have conversations. Who knew?

Her Skills

Jilliane has many skills. And, she tries out new ones all the time- which is great.

Just help me decide if decorating skills are in her favor...

Her door. She cut the animals out of a magazine and taped them.  That little square in the center, underneath the purple sign is a miniature picture of her. (see below) 

She has a total of four of these pictures on her door. They are school  pictures - but, samples.  She doesn't seem to mind the giant mark that says 'DO NOT COPY: PROOF PREVIEW'.

Her windowsill: A toothpick container (has made a reappearance), a green rock, a broken/ugly shell,  a mini ornament, a pearl, a dead plant, a salad dressing container (empty, thank goodness), a paperclip, and a skewer...All of this has been carefully placed. 

Everyone needs three random ribbons taped to their wall. Don't forget: different lengths/colors are better. And, the bookmarks: because the wall is a much better place than a book. (These were taped as well.)

I don't even know what to say...just that that is a plastic hand, and she painted its nails green...and its sitting in  a toy for her fake hamsters (because she can't be trusted with anything alive, see the above plant).

Top of her shelf: an empty bat that once held sunflower seeds, a bone she found in the woods, a fake flower, a baseball, a toy robin, and some floss. Then, the box: Its an i-have-no-idea-but-it-has-ribbons-covering-a-paint-sample-inside box. She also has some figurine and a drawing on top...

Her bookshelf: Contains a few books, but also a plastic swan with cough drops on its back, a bottle of glue, and some makeup bags.

Her room scares me so badly...

But, everything is in there for a reason. I don't know for what, but she's got big plans. BIG plans. 

Makes me laugh,

Shh...Secret Angers

Jilliane apparently has some secret angers about one of her daycare teachers.

Her paper on it: (I'm just glad that she calmly wrote it down instead of yelling and getting mad at the person.)

This is a SECRET!

The title. Kind of looks like the 'mean' was an afterthought...

"Mean Mrs, Kerisa is the werst conselor ever. She will yell at you foror nothing."
And the lady is saying, "Sit down now"
And...that's Jilliane, crying. 

Oh, Jilliane. I'm SURE you weren't doing anything when she yelled at you 'for nothing'.

Madeleine

She loves...

The other day, I asked Jilliane to write about ‘love’ as part of her summer work. (Just to see what she thought about it in her 7-year old mind.) I don’t know what I was expecting…but, as usual, she surprised me.

What she wrote: “love is sumting that you giv away! Love is when yor cinend and nice and giv pepel things that thay realy nead. God loves us mor then enithing cus he made us.”

Translation: Love is something that you give away! Love is when you’re kind and nice and give people things that they really need. God loves us more than anything because he made us.

I just had to smile.

How To Be Snow White As a Blonde

I find this in the bathroom: 

I ask, "Why?"

"I'm trying to make my hair black like Snow White. Because, when I spray it with water, it gets darker."

It didn't work out too well...
