All the right words...

Eleanor has been on a roll recently. Whether she's singing about traveling through space with alligator monster and a twirling sun or telling us what she wants to be when she grows up (a rainbow... or a tree made of legos), she is always cracking us up.

Can't decide, just put on both pair.

This post has a lot of Eleanor wisdom, with a few from gems Adelaide thrown in here and there to spice things up.

These two girls have got all the right
moves and all the right words.

Eleanor: Look at me. I have a tall shadow, because I'm so tall.
Adelaide: I have a tall shadow.
Eleanor: Me too it's walking with me.

Eleanor: It's Heavenly Father and Jesus! They came to earth to stop all the bumblebees from stinging everyone!

Melinda: Eleanor, please eat your snack.
Eleanor: I can't… I think all my oranges are dead.
She sucked the juice out of her slices.

Melinda: I love Eleanor.
Eleanor: No! I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills!

Eleanor: Steven needs his fire thing.
Melinda: Pacifier?
Eleanor: Yeah, his fire.

Adelaide: It's so cold my tongue is brrring for more hot stuff.

Eleanor: Why does God want us to keep the commandments? The commandments are hard... I don't want to keep the commandments. I want to sleep. 

Steven: ba ba ba
Eleanor: Gasp! He's saying ba-Eleanor! He wants me!
Ba ba is Daddy in Mandarin, sorry kiddo.

Eleanor: Daddy is my wife!

Eleanor: I'm going to marry my best friend in the whole wide world, that's Adelaide.

Mom: Please don't climb on the arm of the couch.
Eleanor: I'm climbing the Great Wall of China.
Mom: That's nice, but I don't want you to break the couch.
Eleanor: Oh Mom, you have no imagination.

Eleanor: I want hairs on my chin.
Matt: Girls don't usually get hairs on their chin.
Eleanor: Last night I saw hairs on my legs. I think I'm ready to be a dad.

Eleanor: If you take your root beer in the water it will die. Don't take your root beer in the water. 

Adelaide: Do hot dogs come from dogs?
Melinda: No. They actually come from pigs.
Adelaide: Pigs?! I don't even know how that works.

New Teacher at School: Your daughter is very pretty. She looks like Tinkerbelle! Such a pretty face.
Melinda: Thank you.
Eleanor: No! (grumpy pout)
Melinda: Eleanor, when someone gives your a compliment, try to say thank you. It's good manners.
Eleanor: No!
Melinda: You don't like it when people tell you that you are pretty, do you?
Eleanor: No...
Melinda: Well, what do you want to be called?
Eleanor: Fancy.
Adelaide: I like pretty or fancy.
Melinda: What do you think Steven likes?
Adelaide: Handsome.
Eleanor: Handsome isn't a job.
Melinda: Neither is fancy.
Eleanor: GASP!

Adelaide: Steven wants to be made of banana so he can eat his self. 

Adelaide: It's not red! It's dark pink.
Of course, she'd never wear a red hair band.

Eleanor: There was a farmer had a dog and bingo was his name oh... E, I, N, G, O... and Nemo was his name. That's my favorite fish.

Eleanor: Too much! My milk is over floating!

Adelaide: He doesn't have feet cause no ducks have feet.

Adelaide: A lot of the kids in my class are alone children.
Melinda: Alone?
Adelaide: Yeah, they have no mei meis or di dis!
Melinda: You mean an only child?
Adelaide: Yes, alone childs...
Adelaide thinks being an only child is a huge travesty. Mei Mei is a little sister and Di Di is a little brother. We're just glad she likes being a Jia Jia (big sister).

Eleanor: I wanna be a snowman, I'm just a jerk falling from the sky.
