Lena quotes

Since Lena has turned 3, she has had some quotes and conversations that make us laugh, or at least put a smile on our faces.

Last week:

April: I have to clean up this room (living room where all her toys are spread out).
Lena: No you don't. That's not a good idea.
April: Yes, I do need to clean because we have people coming to our house for Christmas next week.
Lena: (looks around) Yes you do need to clean. That is a good idea.

Sunday morning:
Lena: I have to get dressed so I can go to church and share Jesus and God!

Sunday afternoon:
James: (puts on his toboggan) Do you like my hat?
Lena: No. It's broken. Here, let me use my tools and fisk (fix) it.
James: What are you going to fix it with?
Lena: A hammer. (James hands her the hat, she uses a pretend hammer on hat)
Lena: There, good as new.
James: Thank you for fixing my hat.
Lena: Wait, I forgot to use my screwdriver. Let me see it. (Uses pretend screwdriver)
Lena: There, now good as new.

Sunday night:
James: What do you want for Christmas?
Lena: Penguins and a clean house.
*a few nights before, Lena asked Mommy what she wanted for Christmas. Mommy said she wanted a clean house.

Sunday night:
*in the car
Lena: Do you want to ride on my camel?
April: That sounds like fun.
James: Do you have a camel?
Lena: Yes, I do. He's over there in the grass at the zoo.
April: Okay, well how about we ride him in the daytime so we can have light to see.
*I knew kids could have an imaginary friend at this age, I just never thought it would be a camel. Of course, mine was a miniature mouse that lived in my left ear and whispered secrets to me.
