They were at the kitchen table eating breakfast, and I went to the bathroom so of course all you-know broke loose. 

Katelyn (yell-tattling to me):  Mommy, Audrey's trying to get me in trouble!

Katelyn (yelling at Audrey, who was probably only about a foot away):  Audrey, STOP BOSSING ME!

The Artist-in-Residence strikes again.  She also got the new recliner and her polka-dot chair.

Katelyn is very ambitious when it comes to burritos.  (She did not quite finish this one, though.)

Scene:  Upstairs, girls are playing together when suddenly Audrey clobbers Kate without warning.)

Katelyn:  Audrey hit me!

Mommy (in spite of having witnessed the incident): Audrey, did you hit Kate?

Audrey (the picture of innocence): No-ooo.

Katelyn:  Yes she did!  (to herself, hands on hips) These things ALWAYS start like this!

(At lunch.)

Katelyn:  Mommy, this dinner taco is spectacular!

Scene: passing a construction site.

Katelyn:  Mommy, that's called an instruction site.

Mommy:  Wow, cool.  What are they doing?

Katelyn:  They are making piles of dirt.

Mommy:  Do you think they are going to put a building there?

Katelyn (laughing until she can barely breathe):  No, Mommy!  You are so silly!  They are making piles of dirt for people to play in!  Not buildings!  Silly Mommy!

Because they will grow up and stop using such cute lingo, and how quickly I forget!  Even as I am writing this I have forgotten many of the things I heard throughout the day that I wanted to list here.  Approximate translation follows in parentheses.

Audrey:

Elmo Wall-E!  (robot monster)

I yuck it!  (I don't like it)

Cah-see (coffee)

Keh-bup (ketchup)

Kicken (chicken)

Babas (bananas)

Geeps (grapes)

Bee-nuh and caa-yee  (Peanut and Catty, her nighttime cuddle friends)

I yah you.  (I love you)

Katelyn:

Mommy, will you separate my bed? (change the sheets)

It hurts berry berry bad.  (very very bad)

It's not gymnastics, it's a forward roll.

Audrey, stop being the boss!

Greenbear is my son.

Let's play puppet show! (that means any play-acting with toys)

You are my very best mommy.
