The Little Mermaid Went to Church

We have a rule. You can bring one doll to Church.

My eldest chose the Little Mermaid. She was dressed appropriately for Mass when we left. By the Offertory she was naked.

“Why is she naked in Church?” I asked.

“Because she is underwater and getting ready for her wedding!”

Apparently my daughter had brought along Ariel’s wedding dress for communion because she had seen all the first communion children in their white dresses and suits and thought they all got married at communion.

We are on the road towards theological accuracy in my house so lay off.

I didn’t eat ice cream for breakfast.

My daughter’s answer to me as I walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Dom had left for work and usually the girls just watch a cartoon while I get ready to leave and bring them to the in-laws. I simply asked, “What’s on your face?”

I am the Jack Bauer of our house. No one will withhold the truth from me. NO ONE!

You guys didn’t do anything wrong!

Shouted by my daughter after we got back in the car from Reconciliation on Monday of Holy Week. It was the first time she wanted to go with us and was pretty adamant that my wife and myself are perfect sinless wonders.

Have I mentioned how much I love her?

I’m throwing all my Barbies in the garbage!

I told my daughter to pick up the Barbies that were all over the dining room including a Barbie Jeep and bedroom set. She ignored me so I tried the “if you don’t do it by the time I get to 3 I am going to throw them in the garbage.”

She yelled this when I got to 2 and proceeded to throw all the Barbie toys in the kitchen garbage can.

I don’t know that she really understood what I was saying.

Daddy, I LOOOVE to eat that powder!

My daughter, covered in baby powder that she has obviously applied to her entire body by herself after a bath. Honestly, she looks like she just walked out of a scene of the movie “Blow”.
