Esther while we were doing school: "Mama, you really look like a teacher with those glasses."

Esther: "Mama, is there a little girl in Imagine Dragons Band that sings 'thunda, thu thu thunda'?

Adele and her compelling need to correct people

Someone: "I'm sitting on a red seat"

Adele: "It's not a seat, it's a bench!"

Someone: "I like your shiny shoes!"

Adele: "Actually, they're not shiny, they're sparkly."

Someone: " I like your pigtails."

Adele: "They're not called pigtails, they're braids."

I could go on and on. If people don't say the exact right word she corrects them lol.

Adele was talking at her typical volume (LOUD) in the library.

An old man to me: "Looks like you have a little chatterbox."

Adele looks right at him and aggressively says: "I am not a chatterbox!"

A woman walks by us and says "What cute little ones."

Adele: "We are not little boys!"

Woman: "I said little ones, not boys."

Adele:"Oh sorry."

Adele has been having a bit of an identity crisis since she gave up her binkies. At least ten times a day she tells me: "Mama I'm still your baby."

Adele: "I'm scared of polar bears and lions, but I'm not scared of the dinosaurs at dinosaur park."

Me: "What happened to the apple I gave you this morning?"

While reading a book

Adele:"Look a lion driving a car!"

Me:"Yeah, that's silly, lions can't drive cars"

Leland: "What's bleeding?"

Adele: "Bleeding is when red is coming out of my fump (thumb)."

Adele: "Mama what are you listening to?"

Me: "A podcast"

Adele: "For what?"

Me: "To help me be a good Mama.

Me: "You don't think I'm a good Mama?"

Adele: "No, I just said you weren't being a good mama."

Esther: "When I was in your belly I never wanted to come out. Just like when I'm in the bath I never want get out."

When I was making 3 layers for Adele's birthday cake

Adele: "Um Mama? I think you're going a little overboard on my cake."

While we were having a lesson about being stewards of the earth.

Esther: "Let me say something. There are actually two kinds of litter. Human litter and cat litter."

When we were talking about going to the zoo:

Adele: "The monkey will come down and grab my hand and take me back up to his treetop home!"

Adele:"Mama, I have to tell you something. This man's chin...looks like...a bum."

I was laying in my bed with Adele desperately trying to get her to sleep.

Adele: "Actually I'm the mother and you're my child. Go to sleep my child."

Me: "How will you get me to sleep?"

Adele:" I'm going to sit here and ignore you. That's how mothers get their childs to sleep".

Adele: "Heavenly Father built me and sent me down here to you."

Adele: "Jesus said to me, 'You need to be born again' and I said 'How can I go back into my mom's belly?' and he said I could and then I did and I was born again!"
Now I know those Come Follow Me lessons are really hitting home haha. 

Adele: "I need your help, a dinosaur ate my mom. So can you be my new mom?"

Adele: "Dada has elasta-girl arms!!! He stretched his arms and got the scripture book!"
