Sabrina: When someone says 'poop,' I laugh.
Sabrina, singing in the bathroom: I'm strong! And I'm poopy!
Lauren and Sabrina were eating lunch and listening to the Moana soundtrack. I left them to go to the bathroom. When I returned a "scary song" from the soundtrack was playing. Lauren and Sabrina were huddled together looking terrified at the sound speakers. Lauren said in a trembling voice, "The monster."
Sabrina, yelling: We have to be quiet because Lauren is sleeping, right?
Sabrina: Who will help me?
Me (thinking of the song "Who will save my soul?"): Jewel
Sabrina: Who's that?
Me: A singer.
Sabrina: Where is her?
Soph and Sabrina looking at our San Antonio trip pictures: Wow! Where is that!?
Sophie: It looks so cool!
Sabrina: It looks like a train ride!
Me: I exercised today! Are you proud of me, Lauren?
Lauren: No.
Sabrina: There is throw up in my tummy.
Sabrina: My tummy is getting bigger and bigger.
Me: Keep those realistic goals. They will serve you well in life.
Sabrina got decked out for church with bows and a necklace.
Sabrina: I'm going to go to church and everyone will say 'Hey! That girl is pretty!' And Beleza will see me and say 'Hey! My friend is pretty!' then we'll be the best friends!
Sabrina: I don't sleep about nightmares. I sleep about good-mares.
Lauren was dragging Daddy's shoes around by the laces: Doggy Shoes! Arf! Arf!
The kids were watching TV and a cleaner commercial came on. In the ad, kids were making a huge disgusting mess in their house. I said, "Eew! What a gross mess!" Then Sabrina replied with, "But the Mom is cleaning it!" This is what TV is teaching our kids, guys. Thanks a lot, America.
Then this morning, Lauren stole my deodorant and made crumbs of it all over the couch and floor. I still haven't found the plastic container it came in.
Sabrina: Mistakes are beautiful.
Dave, talking about our uneventful engagement story: Boring is the new beautiful.
Sophie was working on her math homework on the computer. She had a study guide cheat sheet, but instead was only guessing on the answers she didn't know.
Me, correcting her "guessing game" study habits: You can use your cheat sheet, but you can't guess.
Sophie bursts into tears: But I don't want to cheat!
Me: Do you want more cornbread?
Lauren: Yeah! I want more popcorn bread!
Sabrina: Why did Jesus put strangers on the Earth?
I explained a bit about the premortal life.
Sabrina: But why did Jesus put strangers with smoke?
Sophie: I love you, Lauren.
Lauren, angrily: No! You not love me!
Lauren: The spider is my best friend.
Lauren was referring to a very large Halloween decorative spider that was in a neighbor's yard.
Me: You are going to get a new tutor.
Sophie and Sabrina: A what!?!
They were thinking: "toot-er."
Sabrina: Mommy doesn't have any friends. She only has big friends.
Sabrina: Mom, I know you are going to cry because you love that food.
Sophie: They should make a new mom barbie and it should look like this.
Sophie folds her arms and glares.
One night at Sophie's karate class, all the karate kids were kneeling down waiting for class to begin, as usual. Lauren saw them and said, folding her arms: I say prayer.
Sabrina, after waking up in the morning: I really want that dream back, because that pirate was so handsome.
