Natalie: "I wonder what it feels like to be a hand?"
Mama: "Why don't you ask your hand?"
Natalie: "I don't talk to my hand. It talks to me."
"I love you super better!"
"I know how girls have babies. Want to know? Girls have eggs that disappear. One egg not disappears. And it grows into a baby."
Mama: "Who did that?!" [scratching on pillow]
Natalie: "It was you!"
Mama: "Aw, you're too smart for me."
Natalie: "I'm too smart because there's only two people here. Me and you."
"I was freezing and I felt cold hair growing on me fast."
"Don't come in my room! I'm doing something dangerous!"
Mama: "Does this piece go there? Yes! We're unstoppable!"
Natalie: "We're unstupido!"
Mama: "Let's save that orange shirt for school so I don't have to iron it again."
Natalie: "Oh, OK. But if I do this and not wear this shirt, then you have to clean my room every day."
"Here's a paper. You make a list. I do the work. You give me money."
[several hours into the first day of Kindergarten]
"Mom, you're supposed to leave me here. And not come back. For the whole day."
"See, I have you here in my pocket so I won't get lonely. So you don't need to come to school today." [a little drawing]
"I can't be in love with you. I need a man. But mamas who love their daughters find them a prince."
"Give me five kisses. Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah. Now I'm in love with you."
Natalie: "I want to go to the toy store."
Mama: "No, I want you to pick out vegetables with me at the farmer's market."
Natalie: "Mom, you pick out ANY vegetables you want, and I promise I'll eat it, and I'll wait for you at the toy store, OK? I promise, I promise, I promise."
"I said to the children, if they don't know my name, they can just call me Francesca."
"My reading buddy said I have the perfect hair for Snow White. So I need to color it black."
"I'm not going to pee, poop, or fart, because you're not saying it in a nice voice."
"Mama, I have to get a puppy and a kitty, because we need to learn from them. They show you how to run and jump and have a healthy breakfast. And we can learn humanity."
"Mom, I had a dream about picking colorful bugs' eggs like a honey bee, and they were sticking to my fingers and they were colorful and you were there."
"It feels like... being the bestest, when you're a little kid. And friendly."
Mama: "What a big mess! What were you doing in here?!"
Natalie: "Um... I was loving you?"
Mama: "Why don't you ask your hand?"
Natalie: "I don't talk to my hand. It talks to me."
"I love you super better!"
