Imogen: Mummy, I just love this tomato sauce. You are the best tomato sauce maker ever.

Me: Um, thanks Imogen. Why are you making that face if you like the sauce?

Imogen: Because it's gross.

Mummy, maybe when our car gets a little bit tired of being blue, we can paint it with lots of rainbows.

Imogen and I eavesdropped on the following conversation in a pet store today:

Man: So you mean none of these pets do tricks?

Pet Store Employee: No sir. Rodents and reptiles don't typically do tricks.

Man: Not even this one? (pointing to a gerbil.)

Employee: No sir, none of them do tricks.

Man: What about this one (pointing to another gerbil.)

Employee: No, none of these animals will do tricks.

Man: My daughter is 6 and I only want an animal that will do a trick.

Employee: In that case, you might need to consider adopting a cat or a dog from the shelter.

Man: What about this one? (pointing to the same gerbil as earlier)


Imogen, loudly: Mummy, I think that man is really stupid and should learn his own tricks.

Imogen: Do you want to hear me be a crazy rooster?

Friend: Sure!

Imogen: Oink, oink!

Mummy, I want to be the the leader, okay? I'm running ahead. And you have to be the behinder.

Imogen, on Toy Story 3:

Mummy, that is one eNORmous movie that Athena-bear's uncle made. And I loved it so much. That's because it was so funny like Athena-bear's daddy. I liked it when the peas were in Mr. Potato Head's butt. I think David told his brother that part. That's because David thinks peas in butts are funny too.

Imogen: Merry Christmas Mum!

Me: Imogen, it's actually Canada Day.

Imogen: Merry Christmas and Happy Canada Day, Mum!

Family members who were much amused by Imogen's insistence on today being Christmas also got her wishing people Happy Easter. I guess since we're not very patriotic, it doesn't much matter. Imogen is happy as heck that it's Christmas, although a little annoyed that we have neither stockings nor a tree...
