Funny Girl

Claudia says the funniest things and I have been meaning to document them. I know that she's not mine, but I figure that these things are still important to jot down.

The other day I was peeling an orange and she asked if she could have some. I nodded and told her she could in a minute(I was peeling it for her). She got right up in my face, put her hands on my cheeks and said, "Becca, we share with our friends." Why yes indeed we do!

We went to go play at Piper's house the other day and the girls with rolling around on the floor together and Claudia was tickling Piper. The conversation went a little like this:
Claudia, "I need some water Piper."
Piper, "It's upstairs." (Which it totally wasn't-Claudia's cup was literally RIGHT next to her.)
Claudia: "Well then lets go upstairs!"
Piper ignores her.
Claudia (much more emphatically), "Piper, let' go upSTAIRS!"
Piper, "No Claudia, I'm too tired...(very dramatically). Will you carry me?"
Claudia, "No, I'm too tired too..."
Yeah, like Claudia could even begin to carry Piper up the stairs!! So funny.

The other weekend she sat across the table from her parents, at two separate times, and with her face cupped in her hands said, "Daddy/Mommy, we need to have a conversation."

She is a very determined child and doesn't like no for an answer. Our conversations often go like this:
Claudia, "I'm really hungry Becca."
Me, "We just had lunch so we aren't going to eat any more right now."
Claudia, "But yes I AM hungry."
Me, "I'm not saying that you're not hungry. I am saying that we aren't going to eat any more right now."
Claudia, "But yes I AM!" Tears usually follow.

The other night Ewan and Lauren got home about the same time. The house was a bit chaotic, what with the excitment of them being home and me trying to tell them about the day. Ewan let Holly out (the dog)and after about 30 seconds of her being out Claudia says, "We need to get Holly inside. She's barking up a storm."

There are so many more that I can't remember. She is such a funny kid and constantly makes me laugh. Now that she's caught on that she can be pretty funny, she'll say something and then go, "That was funny. I'm funny Becca." Yes my love, you sure are!
