Don't kids say the darndest things? Mine does. Here are some favorites:
We have a shower with clear doors that needs to be squeegeed (that may not be a real word, but what else do you call it?). One morning, Sally was sitting in the bathroom talking to me while I showered. She casually says to me, "Mom, don't forget to shave the walls."
Sally has a cheerleader-inspired outfit. We were going to watch my husband's softball game, and she was trying out some cheers for me. (Her cheers consist of yelling "Cheerleader, Cheerleader, GO DAD!!!" and waving a beat-up blue pom-pom that my dad "found" somewhere and saved for Sally.) She says to me, "I need some people to put their feet on my head and make a statue like a triangle for this cheer."
And finally, Sally's song titles:
"The book on the shelf song" for Waterloo by Abba
"The chicks like you song" for Does Your Mother Know by Abba
"The numbers song" for I'm Just Me by SheDaisey
"Daddy's song about the sword" Mom says, "Huh?" Sally, exasperated, sings, "Gimme the beat, boys, and free my sword, I wanna get lost in your rockin roll ....."

Help! I can't figure out where she got those names from (except the Sword Freeing song, and with that I'm very concerned about how the word sword is so prominent in her vocabulary.)

I think I have my pom poms from high school, if Sally wants them!
Oh Uncle Jon, we need to influence your music tastes! They are all parts of the lyrics in the songs, parts she especially likes or the first parts she understood when she heard the song. And swords, well, if they are good enough for Peter Pan . . .
OK, She--I'm getting tired of re-reading this post. You're going to have to update soon. Love you, friend!
