Beanisms

"what animal is this?" i ask bean this afternoon.
she looks at me thoughtfully and answers, "a wack."
"a wack?!?" i say.
"yes, a wack!" she responds.
"are you sure it isn't a yak?" i ask her.
she laughs and says, "yes!"

at dinner tonight sprout started to fuss a little. bean looked slightly annoyed. she turns to her dad and says:
"(sprout) isn't a very good baby." she gives her head a sad little shake and continues, "i think we will have to send him back!"
(he he he he!)

bean is jumping on the large arm chair in the living room. she is rambling on and on about a bunch of nothing. when i heard this come out of her mouth:
"that is fear, and fear is a kind of blanket."
huh???
she says the oddest things sometimes!!
