Dinnertime Wombat

At dinner tonight:

Me: What did you have for lunch today?
Sarah: Well...macaroni and cheese, oranges and peas.
Me: That sounds good.
Sarah: I didn't eat the peas
Robert: Oh? Why not?
Sarah: They didn't have vitamins!
Robert: How do you know that?
Sarah: I tasted them. They didn't taste like they had vitamins. They just tasted bad.

Thoughtful Wombat

On the way to school/work this morning:

Me: Say "bye Daddy! bye Daddy's car"!
Sarah: Bye trees!
Sarah: Bye branches that fell off the trees!
Me: what?
Sarah: They have feelings too!

Nutritional Wombat

Sarah was playing a game on pbskids.org about different foods, identifying nutrition and other features.

She comes to a part about identifying foods that have a "peel, shell or husk."
Sarah: *clicks on the pizza.*
Computer: "That doesn't have a peel, shell or husk!"
Sarah: *frustrated* "Yes it does! You have to peel off the pepperoni!"

Logical Wombat v 2.0

This morning Robert and I were lying in bed when Sarah came in and jumped on the bed.

Robert: No bouncing on the bed Sarah!
Sarah: Then why is it so big?

Gourmet Wombat

Sarah: Mommy may I have a piece of cheese please?
Me: Sure! Here you go *hands piece of cheddar*
Sarah: Do we have monster cheese?
Me: No sorry, we're out.
Sarah: Oh.
Me: and it's MUENSTER cheese not monster cheese.
Sarah: No! It's Monster - with an M not a W!!

Suffering Wombat

Today we were doing some housecleaning. Sarah decided to do it in her dress up blue princess dress. We flopped down on the couch for a few minutes to take a break and this came up.

Sarah: I am wearing my Cinderella dress.
Me: And it's very pretty!
Sarah: I need to wear my Cinderella dress to clean because she cleans a lot.*gives me a suffering look*
Me: *heart breaks at the injustice of making a little girl clean up her own crayons*
