Handsome and Gretel

Lucy was just introduced to the story of Hansel and Gretel this morning via itouch. I never told it to her before because it really bothered me as a child that the Dad left his kids in the woods. Yeah, I know the stepmother pressured him and they were out of food, but come on... you just starve together, you don't go leave your kids in the woods. Anyway, my personal feelings aside, Lucy finally read the story.

After I finished my shower, I asked her if she liked the story.

"Yeah" she answered.

Unsatisfied with the lack of details, I started fishing "So what was it about?"

She states as if there was nothing else to be said, "Handsome and Gretel"

Ha ha...get it! Handsome and Gretel!


Lucy was telling me a story the other day and instead of saying last night she says "Yester night" I guess that makes sense.

Along the same lines, she was talking about waking up from her nap and she says "In the morning from my nap..." I realized she thinks the "morning" is whenever you wake up rather than the time of day.

Last funny Lucy talk. We were at the Aquarium and Lucy sees this big fish with a pouty lip. She declares, "That fish is ugly."

I was a little annoyed she was being so judgmental. I started asking questions to help her realize it was ridiculous. So I asked her "Why is that fish ugly?"

She answers "He has a stout face."

Wow... I didn't know she knew that word. She has been coming up with all sorts of words and phrases lately that I am sure I don't say. She is a little sponge for language right now!
