Conversation with Chloe

The following is my conversation with Chloe at lunch one day. The pictures aren't from that lunch, but I thought they were funny. At first I was just writing down stuff she was saying because it was amusing. Then I started asking her questions to see what she would say.

Chloe: "If we get in the grass, squirrels eat us. And snowmans will. They 'posed to eat us. (smiling) Nooah!"

"Soon I'll be big, and I'll be a mommy, and I'll have a girl."

(holding up her hand and pointing to her fingers) "This is Daddy( middle finger), this is Mommy(ring finger), this is Chloe(pinky), and these are brothers(thumb and pointer)." After I asked her, she told me that Avery was the thumb and Brady was the pointer.

Chloe: "I eat a lot."
me: "Oh, you do?"
Chloe: "Yea, like spiderman eats a lot. Does spiderman eat macaroni?"
answering her own question, "Yea, I think he do."

(she starts asking me about some plants I have, so I tell her what some of them are. I didn't know all of them, so this is what she said. Oh, also, one of my plants is a rubber tree, or at least I think that's the name.)
Chloe: "It's a rubber flower. Write that."
(at this point, she has noticed that I'm writing down what she says. I didn't write this down right away.)
"You can write it tomorrow."

me: "What are you going to be when you grow up?"
Chloe: "a mommy"
me: "How many kids are you going to have?"
Chloe: "eight, five girls."
me: "Oh, and three boys?"
Chloe: "Yea."

me: "What should we get Daddy for his birthday?"
Chloe: (with little hesitation) "a candy can(cane)"

me: "Why do you love Avery?"
Chloe: "I don't."
me: "Do you love Brady?"
Chloe: "Yea."
me: "You love Brady but not Avery?"
Chloe: "Yea."
me: "Why do you love Brady?"
Chloe: "Because I don't love Avery."
(She does this on purpose because she knows it bothers Avery. Even though he wasn't at home, she still trys to aggravate him!!)

Chloe likes to tell me secrets every night as I leave her room. They never make sense, but it's become part of her nightly routine. A few night ago, this is what she said. "If we don't have blankets, we don't have parties anymore." She cracks me up. You never really know what's going to come out of her mouth. Yesterday she called me a dummy, and told Keith he was stupid!! I'll have to thank her brothers for sharing those words with her.
