Kids Unscripted; Chapter 16

Talia: (about random, faint doodles all over her math work) "I had to erase all of that... it was just from my forgotness."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talia: "Mama, I'm going to play you a song on the piano called 'God Makes Little Girls in His Creation.'"
Me: "How long is it?"
Talia: "About 20 inches tall."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: "Talia, be patient, hold your horses!"
Talia: "I don't have any horses, so I'll hold my ducks!"
Me: "You don't have ducks either..."
Talia: "Yes I do! They're sleeping in my bed!" *fit of crazy giggles...*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: "You can either read, or go to bed"
Talia: "I only have enough energy to play!"
Me: "Then you will have to go play like you're sleeping..."
Ben: "That is my favorite game to play!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talia: "Why are nuts that are shaped like a butterfly called 'walnuts' instead of 'butterfly-shaped nuts'?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talia: "Mama, Elias and I are just sitting here being friends."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talia: "I make art because I love people and it makes their eyes happy."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talia: "It doesn't matter how pretty the pencil is if it doesn't write..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talia: "Mommy, you can call me 'lovely girl Talia' if you want..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talia: "Do people put sticks in a stick-grinder to make brown paint?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Talia: "Some people make bird-chirpy sounds, but Elias BELLOWS!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Talia: "Mommy, why isn't 'Ponka-tonna-phillis' a name?"
