I have a sister named "Eve" who Sarah adores.
Sarah: Daddy, why is it called "Christmas Eve?" Why does Eve get her own Christmas?
Robert: Well Eve is her name, but when we call a day a name and then "Eve" it means the day before.
Sarah: So the day before my birthday would be "Sarah's Birthday Eve?"
Robert: Well..I guess technically.
Sarah: *thinks on this for a bit*
Sarah: Daddy, why is Eve called "the day before"?

Fairytale Wombat
Towards the end of watching Disney's "Enchanted" I turned to Robert and said...
Me: Why do the bad guys always fall to their doom?
Sarah: Because they are always standing on top of stuff.
...
Word to evildoers in Disney films everywhere - keep your feet on the ground!

Double Wombat
Tonight while making dinner:
Sarah: Omygosh today we had a fire drill!
Robert: Was there a fire?
Me: Noo..It was practice, right Sarah?
Sarah: No! It was a REAL fire drill!
...
Robert spotted our cat Freya doing something gross.
Robert: Freya! Don't you have any manners?
Sarah: Daddy, I'm sure she has at least 1 manner!

Puzzled Wombat
Sarah has been working her way through a book of mazes.
Sarah: What do I do here?
Me: It says "The baby elephant is lost! Help her find her family."
Sarah: *solves it and goes to the next one* What do I do here?
Me: It says "Help the zookeeper bring the bananas to the monkey!"
Sarah: *solves it and goes to the next one* And what do I do here?
Me: Help the ant find the picnic basket!
Sarah: *huffs* Why do they need my help? Why can't they help themselves?
Sarah: What do I do here?

Scary Wombat
Sarah is REALLY getting into the scary and downright morbid aspects of Halloween.
Me: *messaging on my phone*
Sarah: What are you doing, Mommy?
Me: I'm messaging my friend Adrienne.
Sarah: Oh. Is she dead?
Me: What? No she's not dead. She's in Chicago!
Sarah: *giggles*
Me: *messaging on my phone*
Sarah: What are you doing, Mommy?
Me: I'm messaging my friend Adrienne.

Are you smarter than a Wombat?
While watching "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"
Sarah: am I smarter than a 5th grader?
Me: I bet you'll be a very smart 5th grader when you get there!
Me: Am I?
Sarah: I dunno. Grownups are pretty smart, but so are 5th graders.
Sarah: am I smarter than a 5th grader?
