Samantha Says

Me: What's mommy's name?

Sam: Sep-a-knee Cook.

Me: What's daddy's name?

Sam: Daddy Cook and dere's (there's) Sam Cook, Sissy Cook, Maddie Cook and Minnie Cook (as in Minnie Mouse)

Too funny! She doesn't quite understand Cook as our last name. One time I asked her about her name and she said Sam Cook and then said "Sam don't cook!"

**********************

Sam: Why's Cindebella (not a typo, she says Cindebella) sad?

Me: Because she doesn't have a dress to wear to the ball.

Sam: (really loud) You said dat yesterday!

Well, she watches Cinderella in the car all the time and asks the same questions!

*********************

Sam: swing me higher

Me: I can't push you too much higher because the swing is going crooked and you might hit the post.

Sam: what's a post?

I explain and she points out other posts outside and then says "uh oh, I'm going crooked and gonna hit the post office!"

********************

One morning we were driving to Target and had to get on the Interstate and she said "mommy, we going on da inta-skate?"

*********************

On the same trip to Target, there was a man on the side of the road and she said "watch out mommy, don't hit that old man." and then Minnie fell out of her lap while I was driving and she said "mommy, stop driving so fast! Minnie fell down!" Ok, backseat driver!

*******************

Me: Sam, what are we going to get Mimi for her birthday?

Sam: a snake (a stuffed snake like she caught at a parade. That's what she wanted to get me for my birthday and Mother's Day)

Mimi: only mommy likes snakes.

Sam: no, mommy likes Starbucks! (she's right! I get Starbucks on Thursday mornings before we go to our art and play class :))

********************

Sam: open dis mommy so I can cook sompin (something).

Me: it doesn't open. It's sissy's rattle. (it's a pot rattle and has food in it and shakes)

Sam: I want you to open it.

Me: it doesn't open.

Sam: let's get a scissors and cut it.

Me: no. It's sissy's rattle and it doesn't open.

Sam: I want to open it. unda-stand me?
