FYI
Pippa pronounces hot chocolate “hot pocket.” That was almost a really disappointing mistake.
Pippa is claravoiant
Tonight when we were going around the table sharing our favorite parts of the day, Pippa’s favorite part was when she played with me. Today Pips was asleep when I left for work. I came home, put the roast in the oven, realized we were out of milk, ran to the store with Kins, ran home, put dinner on the table, then had this conversation. So I said, “but Pips, we haven’t played...

“You’re the BEST Mommy in this neighborhood.”
– Kaylee’s love is oddly specific. But I’m grateful. And she’s one of the two best daughters in the tri-county area.

Pippa (handing me the crayon she was trying to unwrap): I CAN'T
Kaylee (in full "pretending to be mommy" mode): Instead of saying I can't, Pips, why don't you say, "I am having trouble can you please help me when you're free?
P: I'm trouble. Please help when you're four.

“If anybody wants a ride on you, they need to have a puppet on their hand.”
– So … We were playing airplane with the added terror of a lion puppet attacking me at random intervals. And then Kaylee had to go and lay down the rules because she’s a very rules oriented sort of girl.
“Once upon a time I fell in love with a hot dog and I kissed him but he said,...”
– Sorry for the ridiculous story spam but Kins wanted to tell a story too and it really was fantastic so I’m sharing it.
Pips and Kins tell a gruesome bedtime story.
P: Once upon a time there was Diego.
LP: And what did he do?
P: He rescued his sister!
LP: Oh! Good for him! From what? Why did she need rescuing?
P: From THE MONSTER!
LP: Oh! What did he use to rescue her?
P: He used his flashlight! The monster said ROAR and ATE HIM!
K: And THEN what happened?
P: Diego's sister was in the tummy too and she found Diego with the flashlight!
K: And did they cut their way out of the tummy?
LP: ew
P: YES! And they rescued themselves!
LP: Ew.
Brandon: Kaylee, I need you to stand up.
K (standing up): Whyyyyy?
B: Because you need to dance those grumpies away. What song do you want us to sing?
K (throwing herself on the floor): NOOOOOO!
JOKES!

minisparks has a joke book that I, not going to lie, weep with laughter reading. Even she’s like, mama, these jokes aren’t that funny.
This is my favorite joke in the book, thus far.
Why did the doofus throw himself out of the window?
Because he wanted to test his jump suit.

Two muffins are in an oven. One of them turns to the other and says, “Man, it’s getting hot in here.” The other muffin turns to him and says, “Holy shit—talking muffin!”
Love this joke.
I used to be able to tell this one in French! But I am no longer smart enough.

nounsandbooks asked: Kid #1 says, "We're going to go see a movie about pirates!" All the kids get excited. They stroll on down to the movie theater, proudly present their money, and are, sadly, told they can't attend the film. "Why not?" Kid #1 asks, his face falling. "Sorry," says the ticket-taker, "it's rated Arrrrrrgh."

One day, a man went outside and found a little snail on his lawn. He didn’t want the snail to kill his plants, so he picked it up and threw it as hard as he could.
Two years later, he walked outside and found another snail. When he bent down to pick it up, he heard it shout at him, “WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!?”
A small piece of ice lived in a erlenmyer flask and fell in love with a Bunsen burner.
“Bunsen! my flame! I melt whenever I see you” said the ice.
The Bunsen burner replied “It’s just a phase you’re going through”.
