Overheard at the Jensens

We love having this blog as a place to record all the fun things our kids say that crack us up.

 Tea time with these girls? 

Get ready for some amazing conversation!

Adelaide: This book is really old. I know because the pictures are in black and white.

Eleanor: Bad guys are people who hate guys with swords.

Adelaide: They tell you to be free as a bird, but I don't think birds are as free as they think...
(She makes a good point, what with the cages and all)

Adelaide: Steven, what's your favorite animal?
Steven: Mama

Adelaide: Oh, ding! I have an idea.
(She does her own sound effects)

Melinda: Are you as excited as if somebody were going to give you ice cream?
Adelaide: More! It's just one speck down from seeing a unicorn.
(Excited about Aunt Kristin getting a new job)

Melinda: Come on Adelaide and Steven! Let's get dressed.
Eleanor: No! Steven doesn't wear dresses.

Eleanor: How do Ninja Turtles speak with dragons?
Adelaide: Ummm... They have special skills and can breath fire, so they breath fire back at them, at the dragons.
Eleanor: Yeah, got it!
(All their Ninja Turtle knowledge comes from t-shirts and backpacks their boy classmates have.)

Eleanor: Daddy, I need something to lick! Please, can you give me a lollipop?
(Random, hopeful request from the back of the car)

Eleanor: I put the water in my mouth and it disappeared! It's magic water!

Adelaide: It says it's "The most wonderful time of the year?"
Melinda: Yes, many people think that Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year.
Adelaide: But it gets dark early and it's so cold!

Melinda: Did you do your letter to Santa homework?
Adelaide: Yep!
Melinda: What did it say?
Adeliade: Dear Santa, Ho Ho Ho! I want shopkins. Ho Ho Ho! Am I on the naughty or good list? Ho Ho Ho! I put in a lot of Ho Ho Hos because that's his language.

Adelaide: Do you like spoons in your face?
Eleanor: No, I like them on my head!

Adelaide: Ha, ha! Dad, I have trapped you forever.
Matt: Oh yeah, maybe I have trapped you forever!
Adelaide: No Daddy! I'm only five years old!

Adelaide: Guess what my favorite land animal is? A zebra, because it looks like it's wearing pajamas.

Adelaide: Don't tickle me, or I'll turn to the dark side!

And, one last story from Steven that makes us chuckle... We bought him some Captain America pajamas and he was very excited. As soon as Matt had dressed him in his pajamas, he ran down the hall with his arms in the air yelling, "Fly, fly!"

When lift off didn't commence (dang you physics!), he turned to Melinda and pulling on his shirt said, "Uh-oh, uh-oh!" Darn broken, super hero pajamas.
