Phoebe: I love my Harry Potter shirt.
Me: I love you!
Phoebe: Oh. And I...love my Harry Potter shirt.

Yesterday while we were playing Ticket to Ride, Phoebe (who was playing with extra train pieces from Mexican Train so she felt included) picked at a mosquito bite and made it bleed. Andrew got a bandaid for her. After he put it on she was still sitting there with her little lip quivering.
"Will it feel better by...the day after tomorrow?" she finally cried.
"Will it feel better by...the day after tomorrow?" she finally cried.

Zoë wore a bracelet to church yesterday and Phoebe decided she needed it in the middle of sacrament meeting. This conversation took place in very passionate (on Phoebe's part) and very annoyed (Zoë) whispers...
Phoebe: Is that bracelet for me?
Zoë: Ummm…no. It’s for me.
Phoebe: How can you be sure?
Zoë: Well…it’s on my arm, so…
Phoebe: Then it could be for me.
Zoë: Not really.
Phoebe: But maybe...

Alexander: *playing a song on the recorder on repeat*
Zoë: Ugh. Is Jingle Bells the only song you know!?
Alexander: No.
Zoë: …
Alexander: This is Mary Had a Little…
Zoë: UGH!
Auntie K pointed out that if he'd learn Baa, Baa, Black Sheep he could also answer that he was playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star or the alphabet song. And Uncle David pointed out that Jingle Bells and Mary Had a Little Lamb are really quite similar tunes, so if he can play one he could probably learn the other without too much trouble.
