Two from Eliana this morning...

I was getting her dressed in order to take Christian to school and I said,"Let me see your toes," so I could get her socks on.  She stuck her feet straight out and said exuberantly,"Abso-wutely!"

Just now I found two very small spheres, they kind of look like BBs, in her hands (one in each).  They looked like something I had seen in the sink the other day, which I foolishly thought was toothpaste stuck in the drain thingy.  I said to Michaela,"What are these?"  She said,"Those pellets from the back yard."  (They were there when we moved here...we're not too sure what they are.)  She continued,"When you washed her hands the other day they probably went in the sink."  Ah, so she too had noticed that blue in the sink.  I said,"Well, how did she get them out of the sink?!"  Michaela looked at me with her eyebrows raised as high as they could go and said,"I don't know!  Christian probably did it." 

Christian was at school and could not defend himself.

I figured I would never know the real story, so I just threw the things away and took Eliana to the sink to wash her hands.  I asked her where she got the pellets.  She shrugged and said,"I uh know (her version of I don't know)...the sink?"  Then I said,"How did you get them out of there?"  She shrugged again and told me,"Prolly Christian did it."  Those ears are sharp, aren't they?
