Evie: “I try very hard to be a good daughter. But ::shrugging and laughing:: sometimes I think I’m in charge!”

We were talking about how when you grow up you don’t live at home anymore. Evie said, “After you come visit, I’ll have to decide if I like that visit or not, and if I do, you can come visit many times.”

Evie, in a stern voice: “Daddy! Give that back to Oliver, he was playing with it!”

Evie: “Simon says…stand up. Simon says…put your hands up in the air. Simon says…go find money.” – Well, if she has a slave forced to do whatever she says, she might as well make the best of it!

Evie, smacking Oliver in the head: “Oh, sorry daddy, I thought you were out of the room.”
