Becca-isms

I can't keep up with this kid... here are some recent Becca sayings:

(This one's a little gross)

While we were out enjoying a shared dessert after a restaurant meal, Becca announced, "Mom, poop's formed in the large intestines." Imagine the look on my face when presented with that statement halfway through enjoying a bite of cheesecake! At least (as my mom pointed out) the restaurant was noisy so nobody else got a science lesson during dinner! We hadn't even been talking about the subject at any point during the day... totally random. Davey said, "Did she just say what I thought she just said?" Oh yes... she did.



We found an old (er, ancient) gem at our library, a video tape of Bill Cosby as Aesop doing a retelling of The Tortoise and the Hare. I couldn't resist the blast from my own childhood, so we checked it out and the girls watched it last night. Becca was especially fascinated and recited the moral of the story this morning: "Slow and steady wins the race." So I tried to draw her out and asked, "Where did you learn that? What story is that from?" She said, "Out there (pointing to the living room). Bobby Cox and Aesop's Fables!" [If you're not a baseball fan, Bobby Cox is the Atlanta Braves' manager - we're a hardcore Braves house here!]

It took me several minutes to catch my breath and tell her that that was Bill Cosby on the tape!
