Getting ready to leave for LI, Francesca starts to open the front door- I say "Francesca don't open the door until I come back" Francescsa "I'm just opening it a tiny bit" I say "Not even a crack, someone could come in and grab you" Francesca "Then I would kick them in the vagina or the penis" ........ "so hard that poop would come out the other side"

bath time?

Mommy: Its late, we're only taking a 4 minute bath. Francesca: NO! (stamps feet, walks away) I don't want to take a 4 minute bath! I want to take a 5 minute bath! Daddy: OK, you can take a 5 minute bath.

Winter

Francesca: It's freezing! Mommy: Yes it is. Francesca: It's so cold that the cut on my thumb is as cold as a little mouse in the snow.

Susan?

Francesca informed me this morning that her new Kindergarten friend is a "susan" -apparently a "susan" is someone who believes in God but not Halloween.

Daddy wins

Lara to Lorin "You have to pick one kid to take care of, which one do you want?" Francesca "Oh pick me, pick me!"

when I grow up

At school the kids were talking about what they wanted to be when they grew up and Francesca says "when I get older I want to be a LIAR like my mommy and daddy"

Um yeah. Lawyer/Liar- same thing!

On David (her classmate) having to sit in the "thinking chair" for misbehaving:

Mommy "Why did David have to sit in the thinking chair?"

Francesca "He threw his lunchbox at me, a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do."
