Quotes From Moanna
Over the past few weeks Moanna has stopped us dead in our tracks and has had us falling on the floor laughing. Her view on the world keeps getting better.
During dinner one night…
Moanna, “Mommy, when can I go out on dates like when you go with Daddy?”
Me, “What do you mean?”
Moanna, “You know, Daddy takes you on dates right? When can I go?”
Me, “You want Daddy to take you on a date?”
Moanna, “NoOoO!”
Me, “You want a boy to take you on your own dates?”
Moanna, “Yes! When can I do that?”
Me, “Ummm… Steve… That’s your department.”
Steve’s phone rings. He answers in a panic and goes, “I can’t talk right now. Moanna just asked when she can start dating!”
While driving in the car trying to find a house number…
“Mom! This would be so much easier if you used the GPS.”
While driving in the car…
**A little background information for clarity. All three of us went to the bed store one day, but didn’t buy anything. Steve wanted to do more research. He ended up negotiating a better deal over the phone, and since he was away from the house working, Moanna and I went to the bed store without him to do the paper work and give our bank card information.**
Moanna, “Why didn’t Daddy want to spend his money at the bed store?”
Me, “He just wanted to make sure he got a good deal on our new bed.”
Moanna, “If he didn’t want to spend his money, he could have just asked borrowed your money while we were at the store.”
Me, “Daddy and I share all of our money.”
Moanna, “Well if you guys share money, why did Daddy make you go back to the bed store alone and give the lady your money instead of his money? That wasn’t very good sharing.”
Carrying a plastic baggie of water into our room…
Me, “Why do you have a bag of water?”
Moanna, “It’s for the fishies at the aquarium. I’m going to take it to them when we go there today.”
At church during a baby blessing…
“I can’t keep my eyes closed much longer. They’re not staying shut. Help! What do I do?”
When talking to a friend of mine while visiting her at her house…
Friend, “We need to be quiet Miss B is resting. She got home late from her date and doesn’t feel well.”
Moanna, “No more dates for Miss B!”
Putting her two cents in while Steve and I were picking on each other…
“Don’t you talk to my Mommy that way! She’s the boss of this house, not you.”
…Well, I’m glad we’ve that cleared up.

Well…..Boss of the House….you’ve got a precious kid there! How did Steve take the news of his place in your pack as the omega dog according to his child? HAHAHA!!!
Haha! I think her “Mommy is the Boss” originally comes from me telling her that “I’m the Mommy, so I make the rules” when she is being independent/stubborn/what-have-you.
i think the whole sharing money bit is my favorite-talk about hilarious!
We tell her all the time that we share money, but the concept is still too big for her to understand.
I am so happy to read these snippets about my wonderfully precocious great-grand daughter. She is so perceptive at such a young age.
Her perceptiveness makes it hard to get away with things when she’s around.
