"Did God Spit Us Out?"

Ainsley is officially 3 1/2 & keeps us laughing with some pretty ridiculous stuff:

Me: "Ainsley, did you rip this book?"

Ainsley: "No, Mommy. I think God did it. I think God made it that way, Mom."

*****

Our neighbor: "Where's your mom, Ainsley?"

Ainsley: "Oh, she's at home with the cleaners because she really can't keep our house clean."

*****

Me to Ainsley's friend Wyatt: "So, Wyatt, what is your favorite thing about Preschool?"

Ainsley interrupting: "---Is it playing with me, Wyatt?"

Wyatt, with a little stammer: "Yes, it is."

Ainsley: "My favorite thing about preschool is playing with you too."

*****

Ainsley: "Mommy, who made us?"

Me: "Ummmm, who do you think made us?"

A: "God."

Me: "Yep, God made us."

A: "Well, how did God make us? Did God just spit us out?"

Me: "Do you think he spit us out?"

A: "Yeah."

Me: "He probably did then."

One of my friends: "Ainsley, what princess do you want to be?"

Ainsley: "I don't want to be a princess, I want to be a doctor."

*****

"Mommy, I lost my balloon & it went up to heaven."

*****

"Mommy, Max is ready for a nap, he's getting wild."

*****

"Mommy, can you get a job today so I can stay for A-Team?" (after-school care)

Ainsley's new-found love for my cooking:

- As I pour pasta into boiling water: "Mommy, I love you. You are a great chef."

- As she eats microwaved Mickey Mouse chicken nuggets: "Mommy, this is a great meal, thank you so much for making it! It is delicious!"

Ainsley's new-found love for her brother:

-"Mommy, I love you & I don't want to throw Max in a trash can." That's reassuring.

-"Max, I love you. I want to keep you FOREVER! I want you to stay with me FOREVER!"
