Conversation between Brian
and Olivia:
Olivia: “I like Mommy better
than Daddy.”
Brian: “Oh, well that makes
me sad.”
Olivia: “No, it’s a happy
thing!”
Brian: “It’s a happy thing
for who?”
Olivia: “Mommy!”
Brian: “What about me? Is it a happy thing for Daddy?”
Olivia: “YEAH!”

Olivia selects an individual
Twix out of her candy bucket for her after-dinner treat.
Jacob: “Ooooh a Twix.”
Olivia: “No, that’s a Twik.”
She thought that since there
was only one in the package that it was called a Twik. Had there been multiple ones, it would be
called Twix. Haha.

One morning Olivia and I
were arguing about what she was going to wear.
I finally caved and let her wear the top that she wanted to wear even
though I thought it was going to be too small AND it was too hot outside for
that particular top. I left her room and
headed back into my bathroom to get ready.
I’m standing there curling my hair when she walks in wearing the top and
looking all happy…
Me: “Hey girlfriend, what
are you doing?”
Olivia: “Looking cute!” (as she twirls in her swing top)
She then twirls again and
says, “It’s just perfect!” as if to
rub it in that she was right and I was wrong.
<Insert eye roll here>

We are watching our annual
viewing of The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
In the movie, they draw a scary face on a pumpkin.
Olivia: “They should make it
happy because I like happiness. I don’t
like meanliness.”

While riding in the buggy through the ladies
clothing section at Target…
Olivia: “I’m going to ask
Santa for a bra!”
Me: <trying to figure out how the heck she knows what a bra is>
Olivia: “I really, really
want a bra.”
Me: <but seriously, how
does she know what a bra is?>

Olivia was doing something
she wasn’t supposed to be doing, so I playfully said, “You better stop that,
woman!”
Olivia: “I am not a
woman! I am a human and my name is
Olivia!”

Olivia: “I want a baby.”
Me: “Like a real baby or a
baby doll?”
Olivia: “A real baby.”
Me: “Oh, so you mean you want
Mommy to have a baby brother or sister for you?
That type of baby?”
Olivia: “No, I want to have
her.”
Me: Oh boy.

Olivia is singing to the tune
of The 12 Days of Christmas, specifically the part where it says “And a
partridge in a pear tree.”
Olivia: “I tee tee in a bear
treeee!”
Me: “What??”
Olivia: “In that song they
say, ‘and a potty in a bear tree’ so I said that I tee teed in it.”
Y’ALL.

She is going to kill me one
day for posting this online, but I laughed so hard at this I literally cried. I couldn’t not include it.
Olivia, apparently poots
silently and then…
Olivia: “I pooted. But the poot goed quietly. That means I don’t have to say excuse me.”
I literally cannot, y’all.

On this day Olivia was
telling me how old she is going to be each year.
Olivia: “And then I’m going
to be 17, and then I’m going to be 18, and then I’m going to be 19, and then
I’m going to be 20!”
Me: “And when you’re 20 I’ll
be old… I’ll be 51!”
Olivia: “And then you’ll be
buried in a cemetery!”
Honestly. There’s nothing like having a child let you
know where you stand!
