Maddie Bear Says

M: (Dancing around the dining room.) Let's have a party in the dark!  Oh yeah!  Oh yeah!

Me: A party in the dark?  We wouldn't be able to see.  That's silly!

M: Oh, yeah that would be awkward.  

M: (Talking about an infomercial featuring facial cream for the elderly.) I can't use that.

Me: What?

M: That stuff.  

No.  Yeah, that stuff is for old people.  Not for kids.

M: But you are old.

Me: True...

M: So you should get that.

M: Mumma, bigger is better

Me: But being little is fun.  Think of all the fun things you can do.  You can crawl under tables, Dada can pick you up...

M: Yeah, but when I get bigger I can clean the toilet.  

M: My nose is like a boat.

Me: Why is your nose like a boat?

M: (with finger in nose) Because it has an inside.

M: (crying hysterically because she's scared of something in her closet) That pink thing!  There!

Dada: This? (pointing to a pink, fuzzy romper) These are your sister's clothes, Madeline.

M: (immediately stops crying) Oh. I thought it was a real bunny.

M: If there was a Disney Store on our street we could go there all the time.  

M: (after listening to me change the lyrics of Notorious B.I.G.'s Hypnotize to include Vivi's name) 

Vivi Vivi Vivi can't you see, sometimes Mumma's very busy.
