Probably one of my fav Grace stories:
Grace got the stomach bug. When she was starting to feel better I told her, "I'm glad you're feeling better." She said, "I don't feel better, I feel achy." I asked her what she meant by achy. She told me, "You know, when you don't feel straight up like a real woman." Needless to say it was difficult to keep a straight face!! -5 years old

Before Grace headed off to Kindergarten each morning we did the "kissing hand". I would kiss the palms of her hand & she would do the same to mine (we got this idea from the children's book Kissing Hand). Once she was in the car with Darren on the way to school she was trying to get in her backpack but couldn't because she was squeezing her hands to protect my kisses. Darren asked her what she was doing so she told him & she explained it was hard because of "this dadgum kissing hand." He told her to hand him the kiss while she dug in her backpack & she looked at him and said, "get your own!" -5 years old

Grace has a bad reaction to mosquito bites so we were checking with her to see if she needed medicine on them before she went to bed. She told us, "No, I'm gonna let God heal them." -2 months shy of her 5th birthday

Grace asked me why Luke was always copying her. I told her it was because he thought she was cool. Without missing a beat she told me, "No, he doesn't...girls aren't cool, they are fabulous!" Oh, my bad! -2 months shy of her 5th birthday

After doing our nightly Bible study one night we were asking Grace what the story was about. She told us that the snake didn't tell Adam & Eve they couldn't eat the apple...he just told them they couldn't eat it before they washed their hands! -2 months shy of her 5th birthday
I'm so glad you're posting all these fun things that she says. I've laughed out loud several times while reading them. Thanks! :)
