Mommy: What do you want to eat?
Dixie: A peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Mommy: Okay.
D: But I just want the peanut butter. No jelly.
M: So you want a peanut butter sandwich?
D: No, I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but just peanut butter. No jelly.

Dixie, in the car on the way to church yesterday:
I wish I could just reach into the TV and pick up Piglet and take him out and squeeze him and play with him because he's so little and would be so much fun.

Mommy: Dixie, hurry, hurry! Come get in the van!
Dixie, plodding along at a snail's pace: I am hurrying! I am just hurrying a little slower than you're hurrying! My legs are so little and short and can't go fast at all!
(Yeah. Except when you're in trouble and running away.)

Dixie is also obsessed with the idea of spankings. I really can't remember the last spanking that was issued around here and I promise that it isn't because they are so common place that they happen hourly and don't stand out in memory.
A few days ago my hand was sore from cutting out fabric for the Halloween costumes. Dixie asks, "Is your hand sore from giving soooo many spankings?"
And then yesterday, she had broken a toy and hidden it in the trash because she was mad about being told to put it away. I made her dig it out and tell me the truth, and then asked what she felt like her punishment should be. "Yucky hard spankings. One hundred of them. And then you should send me to my room and lock me in in time out and make me stay there for one hundred years until I die."
This girl has some imagination, no?

Maybe she just suggest the worst punishment she can think of so she is pleasantly surprised when it's not that bad?
She's a HOOT!
Oh gosh, that last one was extra funny. LOL
My middle child has been spanked maybe five times in his entire three and a half years of life, but the second anyone raises their voice at him, his hands fly back to cover his backside, his eyes bug out, and he asks, very worriedly, "Are you gonna spank me?" He acts like we spank him all the time!!!!
BTW, that same child is fond of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches without the peanut butter...
I would like to squeeze Piglet, too.
Jellyless PB&J's have been very popular with James for the last 6 months along with cream cheese & jelly sandwiches with no jelly. I have lots of jars of jelly that I need to use up.
