- (after bath before combing Lili’s hair) K: What color is my hair Lili? L: Brown K: What color is your hair Lili? L:Crazy
- Was just told by Lili with a judgemental stare: I don’t like your hair crazy
- Watched tonight as Lilian (who has actually been an angel for the 5 days E has been gone) released her pent up devilishness in three short hours and then tried to win me over at my final straw (calling me in her room for 75th time) to say to me, “Mama…nice pants“
- Was getting frustrated by fixing something and Lili asked, “What’s wrong sweetie?”
- Has an earthworm and a wineglass of dirt in her bathroom after Lili’s convincing performance complete with tears, actual hugging of worm and sobs that she would miss ‘wormy’ (dug up in our front yard) if she couldn’t bring him upstairs into our Brooklyn apartment
- Just broke the news to Lili that the pacifier fairy was coming to town soon to take away all the pacifiers and leave a big girl present. She paused and said with an icy stare: I don’t like fairies
- Was just told by Lili who took one long stare at my ‘trapped indoors with sick toddler’ hairstyle and said: Mommy – you need haircut day
- K: (yawn) I’m tired! – E: (yawn) Me too – Lili: (fake yawn): I’m tired too. Everybody has tired
