Stream of Consciousness Malia Style

A portion of the stream of chatter Malia produced while I was combing her hair this morning:

"I saw a red Dalek. Daleks are made of cans. They put wheels on them. The Wizard of Oz only has a walking can man and a lion. Lions don’t really talk. They make a roaring sound. The lions at the zoo don’t talk. It’s down to my bum. Sister Johnson needs to cut it! Did it snap? These rubber bands are cheap. One, two, three, four, five. There are five heart buttons on my dress. It’s almost empty. We need to get a big one…"

That is only a portion of the wisdom she spewed forth this morning. There was something about ears as well and a bunch of stuff I don’t remember.

Now a couple of tidbits to help you understand where her brain was:

~While we were at the library yesterday, Nathan picked up a “Where’s Doctor Who” book that is made in the style of “Where’s Waldo.”
~Sister Johnson lives across the street from us. She has a salon in her basement and she is the one who cuts our hair.
~ We broke yet another cheap rubber band before I could get it into her hair.
~ I use a small spray bottle to spritz Malia’s hair while I’m combing it.

The part about the cans totally made me laugh. I mean, she’s not wrong. The Tin Man really is a walking can man. And I imagine Daleks would be a lot less intimidating if they had Del Monte stamped on their butts. ;-)

Sometimes random things happen that don't warrant an entire blog post but are still entertaining...

Kev likes to tease Malia when he brushes her teeth and takes her hair out at bedtime. He’ll tell her that she needs to brush her hair and take her teeth out. She has informed him that teeth don't come out because they are glued in with teeth glue. And when asked what color teeth glue is, she’ll tell him it’s red.

Instead of a stuffed animal, Matthew sleeps with a football. I’ve even discovered him sleeping in his football gloves.

According to Malia, a dog days, “Barf! Barf!”

Malia has been learning about dinosaurs: the dinosaur rex and big-ceratops.

Nathan has discovered that he is fond of several songs from the opera “Carmen,” especially “The Turd-eodor Song.”

When Malia grows up, she wants to be Ironman…or Thor. It says so right on the poster she took to school to celebrate her half birthday.

According to Malia, this is a Star Wars elephant:

Daniel doesn’t sound like me on the phone anymore….but Nathan does. They have both been really good natured about being mistaken for their mother when they answer the phone.

A few days ago Malia was riding a light saber like a stick horse. She told Kev that she was the Wicked Witch of the Light Saber.

Daniel's mad origami skills are getting better all the time. In the last little while, he has been know to say, "It only has 159 steps..." Of course, the first of those 159 steps is to fold the paper into 256ths! 

A bit of visual randomness:

 

Another Random Comment I Never Thought I'd Hear Myself Say

"There's a dirty sock in the Christmas tree. "

Sigh. Life with boys can be interesting. And dirty. Their bathroom isn't quite as bad as a gas station, but there are times when it's bad enough that Malia is reluctant to get down to business. As most girls are, she's a fan of a tidy bowl.
