Anna Quotes

  • "I'll take that as a yes."
  • Anna often watches me put my contacts in. One morning after I was done, she reached for the empty contact case and dipped her finger into it. Then she used her finger to dab her eyelids. She explained: "My eyes are dry".
  • Anna's tactics to get me to sleep with her at night:
    • "Why are you just going to dump me in my bed?"
    • "Are you coming in, Mommy? I saved you a pillow."
  • Anna channelling Aristotle to explain to me why she was dumping all new white sand into the muddy water (after I had told her not to): "Water needs sand."
  • Anna to Thomas and Jack sometime before her birthday:
    "Now you just have to have 1 lesson if you want to eat cake..."
  • Anna reflecting on life before she was a big girl: "Last summer when I was a baby..."
  • "Am I 3? I should get 3% milk!"
  • After Anna's birthday party, I was holding Thomas. Anna handed Thomas the string of a helium balloon and asked me: "Will he float up if you let him go?".
  • Wonderful mispronounciations:
    • biscuit = blister. "I don't want a band-aid on my biscuit!"
    • flick = cowlick. "We need to mush down Tommy's flick!"
    • antler = tailor.
  • Too much Dr. Suess: I asked Anna a question a few weeks ago, and she responded with:
    "I don't know, go ask your dad..."
