June 2002
One day mommy taught Rachel about her kidneys. When I got home from work, Rachel was excited to show me that she knew where her "children-knees" are located!
July 2002
One week after having her first cashew, she asked "Can I have another kitty shoe?"
July 2002
"Why do you have to go to work?"
"So we can have money."
"Why do we need money?"
"So we can buy food; otherwise we won't have anything to eat."
(smiling like she's just solved a big problem)
"But we've already got food downstairs!"
"Yes, but sometime that will be all gone and we'll need to buy more."
(after thinking for about 5 seconds)
"Can't you just sneek into the store?"
August 2002
After being told to use her imagination: "I don't have any left! I have only one imagination in my body and it's all gone. I used it up last night; now I have only dreams."
June 2001
"Good night Rachel."
"Last night I looked in the mirror."
"Did you? What did you see?"
"Rachel, picking her nose."

September 2002
Rachel was playing with something she shouldn't have had. When I took it from her she said: "Hey that wasn't nice. God didn't tell you to take things from little children."

I'm sitting on my blanket. (laughing) He likes to look at my butt!

October 2002
This conversation took place between mommy and Rachel first thing in the morning:

"Rachel is your nose stuffy?"
"yes"
"Does your throat hurt?"
"a little"
"Would you like mommy to go downstairs and get you some juice?"
"Yes" (pause) "and a get-well card too"


March 2003
At the end of a very long bedtime prayer which included praying that God would watch over just about everyone she knows, Rachel said:
"God, Charlie (our cat), is very fast, could you please slow her down! Thank You. Amen."



November 2003
"Diarrhea is fun because you never know what it's going to look like. It could look like a butterfly or a tree ..." (a couple other nature type things that I don't remember)




February 17, 2004 This is the day before Rachel's 5th Birthday. The first words out of her mouth upon waking up were:
"Tomorrow's my birthday; I'm going to be five years old, and I don't even know how to wipe my own butt yet!!"
February 2, 2006 Rachel saw my Old Spice deodorant on the counter of the bathroom sink and had the following conversation with Camille:
"Why does daddy wear deodorant?"
"Because when you get to be a little older you can start to stink a little as the day goes on"
"It's because he's closer to death, isn't it?"
October 27, 2006 Dinner table conversation:
Reagan: "I wanted to tell you about my friend Ryland"
Me: "Do you mean Ryan?"
Reagan: "No, Ryland"
Me: "Ryland is not a name. There's nobody named Ryland"
Camille: "You don't know that! These days everybody uses odd names"
Rachel: "Yeah, like what would you think if they named you Boaz!"
February 18, 2008 Right after a phone conversation with my brother was cut short:
Me: "Oh well, we had pretty much said everything we wanted to say..."
Camille: "What! I could never end a conversation like that!"
Rachel: "Heh...You could never end a conversation!"
