It Has an "M" on It

Molly:  *playing with her trick-or-treat bag full of candy*
Butch:  Molly, you don't need to play with that, especially in here.  Baby Charlotte is going to --
Charlotte:  *rips bag*
Molly:  *almost has meltdown*
Butch:  You need to take that in the kitchen.
Molly:  *takes bag of candy to kitchen and plays quietly in there for an hour before Butch checks on her*
Butch:  *goes to check on Molly, sees her put something in her mouth*  What are you doin' in here?
Molly:  Nothin'.
Butch:  What are you eating?
Molly:  Nothin'.
Butch:  What are you eating?
Molly:  It has an "m" on it.

Oh Man

Molly: Oh man.
Butch: What's wrong?
Molly: Nuffin'. Just oh man.

Smack

Molly: *throwing a fit, on her knees in the floor.*

Charlotte: *looks at her with amusement as she walks over to stand in front of her, then smacks her on the forehead.*

Me and Butch: *poorly concealed snickers and giggles*

I'll Just Wait Here

Molly:  Mommy, is it Halloween yet?

Me:  No, baby, not yet.

Molly:  Oh.  I have to wait for the sun to go down.

Me:  Well, it has to go down several more times before it will be Halloween.

Molly:  *walking to the window to watch the sunset*  Ok, I'll just wait here.

I'll Tell Ms. Lynnette about That

Molly:  Mommy, how are old are you?

Me:  How old am I?  I'm 32.

Molly:  Oh, ok.  32.  I'll tell Ms. Lynnette about that.

Good Dreams

Molly:  *climbing into bed with me.*  Mommy, I need snuggles.

Me:  Ok, come here, baby.  *snuggling her.*  You know, you're getting into a bad habit of this again.  Remember, you need to be a big girl and stay in your bed.

Molly:  I had bad dreams in my bed.

Me:  Ok, sweetie.  What happened in your bad dreams.

Molly:  It was dark.  *curling up to go back to sleep.*  I have good dreams in your bed now.

Charlotte Too

Me:  *having just parked the car in our driveway*  Ok, Molly.  I'm going to go unlock the door, and then I'll be back to get you.

Molly:  And Charlotte, too!

Me:  Yes, Charlotte, too.  I won't leave her out here.
