Mommy told me to

Last night Eric was getting Elise out of the car. She was picking her nose (sorry, I know it's gross) when he got her out. She then proceeded to wipe her booger on Eric's jacket. This was the following conversation:

Eric- Why did you do that, Elise? Why did you wipe your booger on my jacket?
Elise- Mommy told me to.

FYI: I didn't tell her to do it.

Hold my hand

We were driving to Jackson on Christmas Day and in one big breath Elise said, "Hold my hand! Hold my hand! Someone please hold my hand!" Then, she was asleep.

Chocolate

As Elise finished off a piece of chocolate on Christmas morning, she said to herself, "mmmm...chocolate so good..."

Be Quiet

This morning I overheard this conversation between Eric and Elise:

Elise- Be quiet!
Eric- Who are you telling to be quiet?
Elise- You
Eric- You better not be telling me to be quiet.
Elise- I'm not telling you to be quiet. Telling me to be quiet. Be quiet, me!

yuck.

Eric just dropped a piece of ice on the floor. Elise saw it, got down on the floor, and said, "Want to eat off floor." She then proceeded to lick ice off of the floor.

Disgusting.

Hence the word "Hot"

Drinking hot cocoa one morning...
E- Daddy, my hot cocoa is hot.

I Not Choke

Grandpa- (talking to Eric) Can Elise have some of these peppermint sticks?
Eric- No, she doesn't need any. I'm afraid she'll choke on them.
Elise- (who had been listening the whole time) "I not choke on those!

Understand?

Elise was doing something that she shouldn't have been doing and I was getting on to her. It played out like this:

M- "Elise, do not do that again. Understand me?"
E- "Don't say 'understand me', mama!"


And later she was playing like her daddy was in trouble and told him, "Daddy. Don't do that! Understand me?!"

Church Conversations

Elise refuses to stay in the nursery at church. Even when I leave her, they bring her back. So, while visiting a new church last night, I didn't even try to get her to stay int he nursery. Instead, I brought her into the sanctuary with me.

We were sitting there when a man stood up and began to testify. He was crying and there was no sound at all other than him. Until, Elise opened her mouth. This is how it went down:

E- I want to touch her coat. (She pointed to the lady in front of us as she was saying this)
M- Shhh. Let's listen to this man. And no, you cannot touch her coat.
**Elise has now climbed into my lap and is face to face with me**
E- I'm hungry!
M- Elise, be quiet. We'll get something to eat after this.
E- I want to touch your eye. (At this point she was already raising her finger close to my eye.)
**I close my eyes for her to touch my eyelid**
E- NO! Want to touch your eye!

Obviously, she didn't want to touch my eyelid, just my eyeball! This was an extremely sporadic conversation. She was so bored, bless her heart.

Woman

Eric: Come on, woman! (talking to Elise, of course)
Elise: Why you say 'woman'?

Santa is watching you!

We were at Wal Mart the other day and they had Santa Claus taking pictures with people. Elise does NOT like to be very close to SC so she just stared at him from a distance. Later that day Elise was ill (as in not in a good mood). This was Audrey's and Elise's conversation:

Audrey: Elise, you better stop being ugly. Santa Claus is watching you!
Elise: Santa Claus not watching me. Santa Claus is at Wal Mart.
