The one where she makes up an elaborate story...

i don't got much for beanisms today. sorry! but here's what i got, hope you enjoy!

************

it's father's day. my sister bought a gift for all of us to give my dad. she gets it out and sets it on the table. bean asks, "is that mine?"
"no, baby, it isn't. it is father's day and you aren't a father so you don't get any presents." i tell her.
"oh," she replies, "so, when it's mother's day i will?"
"no, you aren't a mother. only mothers get gifts on mother's day. you are a child, sweetie," i say.
she had a eureka moment. you could almost see the light bulb turn on over her head.
"on child's day i get presents!" she declares.
i shake my head and smile. "yeah, it's called your birthday, honey."

*************

we are listening to music. the song dancing queen by abba comes on. i say, "hey bean, dancing queen is on!"
bean jumps up to dance and yells, "hey daddy, can you dance queen?!?!"

snicker

************

on this one i'm afraid i don' t have exact quotes. it was quite elaborate and the story kept growing and growing......

it seems that bean has invented her own character. his name is "the blankie man" and he comes to steal little kids blankies. she claimed he was waiting on our porch to get her blankie. BUT he couldn't take it because he couldn't take blankies that were silky on one side. apparently he also can take stuffed friends too. (interesting....)

i thought for sure that daddy had started this. he thought that i had started it. but we hadn't. bean invented a character.... a bad character. what is that about??

************

that is all for this week. hope you all have a delightful weekend!!!
