I have some catching up on the cute stuff that Evie has said!

Eviesms:
  • When getting ready to go camping with her father, Evie said in a sing-song voice, "Mom, daddy and me are gonna say "wankersville." This, of course, because "wankersville" is a silly word her dad taught her that mommy (and eventually daddy) deemed inappropriate and therefore a "potty word." In other words, she and her daddy are going to be using potty language because I won't be there to stop them.
  • When our dog, Ollie, hears the neighbors' dogs barking, he gets very excited and whines to go out. One day when I was letting Ollie out for some fun with the other doggies, Evie said, "Ollie loves to play with those next-dog neighbors!"
  • At a bridal shower for my cousin, we were to go around the room and say something that the bride-to-be would need in the upcoming weeks before the wedding. This was sort-of in prayer format. Some people said patience, money, togetherness, etc. It came to be Evie's turn, and she proudly closed her eyes and folded her hands and said, "I hope that she gets a pretty unicorn that flies." I hope she does too. ;)
Too cute!!!

Evieisms:
  • Evie and I suffer from allergies, and whenever I have an allergy attack, she'll ask me in all seriousness, "Are you having a heart attack?" Today she sneezed and said, "I guess I'm having a heart attack too!"
  • With Evie, there are 3 sizes: Small, Meatier, and Large.
  • When Evie forgets her little brother's name (because her brain is running a mile a minute), she refers to him lovingly as "this little guy here."
  • As mentioned in a previous post, at her swim class, another little girl asked her mother why some of the older women were wearing their shoes into the water. The mother explained that they were swim shoes, and Evie said, "That's the way, uh huh, uh huh, they like it." The mom just nodded her head and said "Yep, that's the way they like it."

Evieism - n. 1. a remark from my daughter Evie whose ingenuity or verbal skill or incongruity has the power to evoke laughter.

i.e.

Today when driving down the road and staring at a No Parking Sign, Evie stated, "Look mom, that sign says P's can't go there."

Yesterday when preparing summer squash and zucchini for supper, Evie asked me if she would be eating the "squishes and bikinis."
