Ella is 7 now, and for some reason I figured that seven would be the end of what I as her mother regard as her verbal brilliance (biased much there, Mama?). But in the past month she’s been on another roll, so I’m continuing to write down the stuff she says.
Here are a few recent quotes, courtesy of Ella.
“We’re going to be visited by Bob Marley, the Ghost of Christmas Past.”
“So who is this girl Liberty and why did she get a statue made of herself?”
“Do you ever imagine that we are the dream being dreamed, and when we go to sleep, it’s someone else’s morning-time?”
“Look Mommy, a croissant moon!”
“Is it possible to make a copy of myself?”
“I can see The Man In the Moon, and it looks like he had a really hard day.”
And finally, here’s a fresh one from this morning – this was one of the first things she said:
“I love you. Just wanted to get that off my lips first thing.”

My granddaughter who just turned four was showing me a picture she brought home from her “school” of a big curled up polar bear. I said “Oh, and he’s sleeping.” Correcting me, she said “no, my teacher said he’s bentilating!” It took me just a moment to realize she meant “hibernating”. It was one of those cute moments, for sure!
That’s very cute.

There used to be a marvelous street circus in New York called Circus Amok, whose ringleader was a woman with a beard, Jennifer Miller. They did an act with the “libiddy sistahs:” “sybil libbidy, statuah libbidy, and the youngest, libbidy belle.” Then they’d juggle, tell bawdy political jokes, and do fabulous tumbling, sometimes all at once. Ella would love them. So would you.

Oh that sounds so NY – it would be right up Ella’s alley only knowing her she would spend the whole performance wondering “why that woman has a beard” and feeling sorry for her so she’s miss the whole Libidy thing. (-:

She’s absolutely right! some nights it it does look like a tired croissant! brilliant. and the last one: I melt.

Oh that’s an eye-opener, I thought it was a play on “crescent” but you’re right – she probably thinks it looks like a croissant and got the word wrong! (-:

I do love those croissant moons!

Amazing how she thought of #3. Reminds me of a philosopher Chuang Tzu ““I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?”
Deep, sensitive, loving, amazing Ella. Great job Mom!
