Ava speaks

Serious questions from a highly inquisitive 3 year old...

Mommy, when lent is over can we watch TV all day, every day??

Did you come out of your belly when you were born??

What kind of trees do peeps and pizzas grow on??

Are these WWWWWiwwies or LLLLLLillies?

Ava: If Clare pulls a bottle of chemicals off the table and sprays them on herself, I will come tell you.
Me: Ummm...what kind of chemicals???
Ava: The kind of chemicals that would make her very sick and have to go to the hospital if she sprayed them on her face
Me: Ok...have you ever seen chemicals like that sitting out on the table before??
Ava: No.
Me: ...
Ava: But if I see her spraying chemicals on herself I will tell you.


Stephen: Ava, do you know what animal beef comes from?
Ava: A beaver!

Me: Ava, are you spitting??
Ava: No, I'm drooling.

(Ava is trying to tell me a ridiculously long winded story while Emeric is throwing an epic fit and Clare is trying to color on the wall with a crayon and I'm simultaneously cooking burning dinner)
Me: Uh huh, that's good Ava...
Ava: NO it's not good!! It's EVIL!!

Me: What do you want for breakfast, Ava?
Ava: I just want cinnamon toast, candy corn, chocolate, brownies, cupcakes, cakes, strawberries, blueberries, pancakes, vanilla stuff, chocolate chips, and marshmallows...those things make me smile, mommy!!
