Funny snippets

A few funny conversation snippets that have been heard around our house lately.

Delaney: Yesterday I went to the jump up.
Mom: Really? What's the jump up?
Delaney: It's the place where I went.
Mom: Who did you go with?
Delaney: My sister.
Mom: Oh, you went with your sister. That explains it.
Delaney: And my husband.
Mom: (laughs). Your husband?
Delaney: Yeah! My husband likes the jump up.
Mom: What's your husbands name.
Delaney: I need to think about it.
Mom: Well, yeah, you better think about what your husbands name is.
Delaney: It's Thomas.
Dad: That's a good, solid name for a husband.

At school she apparently had this conversation:
Delaney: Melinda, can you come over to my house next week?
Melinda: Well, actually, I am coming over to babysit you next week.
Delaney: We can have dinner, and play games, and then you can spend the night!
Melinda: Well, I don't think I'm going to spend the night.
Delaney: No, you can, there's TOTALLY room for you in mom and dad's bed.

And, in regards to potty training.
Mom: Delaney when the heck are you going to start going in the potty (as I wipe a nasty nasty poop off her bottom).
Delaney: In 15 minutes!
Mom: 15 minutes!? Wow, that's fast.
Delaney: No, maybe tomorrow.
Mom: Yeah, tomorrow seems more realistic.

And I heard her singing in the bathroom yesterday a mixture of all the holiday songs and stories she's been hearing lately. It was like a jazz, poetry, and spoken word reading but in a toddler sing song voice.
Delaney: Hanukkah lights, Hanukkah lights, twinkle, twinkle, Jesus' birthday, angels singing, bethlehem, hanukkah lights, hanukkah lights, jesus was born, hanukkah lights, hanukkah lights.
