An entry a day (or more) would be no problem. Anyway, here are a few more Bridget funnies for your reading enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m Freaking out<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>We were going for a walk and Bridget ran through some neighbor&#8217;s sprinklers. The water was getting her pretty good.<\/em><br \/>\nT: (after Bridget made it through the water) Are you okay?<br \/>\nB: Yea. I&#8217;m just freaking out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The wind blows my butt<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Standing under the swap cooler with her bare bottom exposed, after having just gone potty. <\/em><br \/>\nB: Look mom (sticking her butt in the air), the wind blows my butt.<br \/>\nT: Alright, silly, get over here.<br \/>\nB: It feels cool, it just goes up and up and up my butt.<br \/>\nT: You like that huh?<br \/>\nB: Yea, its pretty cool. Do you want to do that to your butt?<br \/>\nT: No thanks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bridget is Hot!<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Playing at the Park with Emily and her son Gordon.<\/em><br \/>\nE: Gordon, you look hot. Are you hot?<br \/>\nG: No, I&#8217;m not. Bridget is.<br \/>\n<em>Emily and I got a pretty good laugh and tried to get Bridget to thank Gordon for the compliment. lol!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jared ate my Fruit Snacks<br \/>\n<\/strong>B: Mom, can I have some fruit snacks?<br \/>\nT: Sure.<br \/>\nB: <em>(minutes after finishing her first bag of fruit snacks)<\/em> Mom, can I have some fruit snacks? Please?<br \/>\nT: Didn&#8217;t you already have some?<br \/>\nB: No, I didn&#8217;t.<br \/>\nT: If you didn&#8217;t have any, then who ate the ones I just gave you?<br \/>\nB: Jared did.<br \/>\nT: I never saw Jared. Are you sure he ate them?<br \/>\nB: It was a little tiny Jared <em>(showing me an inch or so with her fingers)<\/em>. He just climbed up my arm <em>(demonstrating with her fingers)<\/em> and took my fruit snacks and ate them all gone.<br \/>\nT: Really? Are you trying to trick me?<br \/>\nB: (laughs and runs away)<br \/>\n<em>&#8230;5 minutes later&#8230;<\/em><br \/>\nB: Mom, can I have some fruit snacks?<br \/>\nT: No, you already had some. Maybe tomorrow.<br \/>\nB: Ok. Mom, can I have a banana?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who&#8217;s your daddy?<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Dave, Bridget, and I were all playing and visiting while laying on our bed a few nights ago.<\/em><br \/>\nB: I have a baby in my tummy, see. (lifting up shirt)<br \/>\nT: How big is your baby? Is it as big as an apple?<br \/>\nB: No, it isn&#8217;t.<br \/>\nD: Can I kiss the baby?<br \/>\nB: Sure.<br \/>\nD: (blows a raspberry on her tummy)<br \/>\nB: That&#8217;s not a kiss. You go like this (makes kissing sound).<br \/>\nD: Oh, let me try again (kisses her tummy)<br \/>\nD: Can I talk to her?<br \/>\nB: Yea<br \/>\nD: (his whiskers tickle her tummy as he talks) Hello baby. Are you in there?<br \/>\nB: (giggles and laughing &#8211; pulls her shirt down) That&#8217;s enough<br \/>\nD: So who is your baby&#8217;s daddy?<br \/>\nB: You are.<br \/>\nD: (laughing) Who is the baby&#8217;s mommy?<br \/>\nB: Mommy is. Um, Tina.<br \/>\nD: Oh, so that&#8217;s your sister in there?<br \/>\nB: Yea, my sister.<br \/>\nT: If I poke your tummy will the baby kick?<br \/>\nB: No it has to get bigger.<br \/>\nB: When the baby gets bigger and bigger, we can eat her.<br \/>\nT: What? Why would you want to eat her? How sad.<br \/>\nB: I&#8217;m just kidding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Square Burst<br \/>\n<\/strong>B: What do you got?<br \/>\nT: I have a Starburst. See (holding up the candy).<br \/>\nB: (looks at it thoughtfully for a moment) That&#8217;s a square burst.<br \/>\nT: Oh. It is square isn&#8217;t it.<br \/>\nB: Yea. It is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bitamin is in the Cuvord<br \/>\n<\/strong>B: I need a bitamin.<br \/>\nT: You need what?<br \/>\nB: I need a bitamin. Its in the cuvord.<br \/>\nT: You want a vitamin?<br \/>\nB: Yea, a bitamin.<br \/>\nT: Say &#8220;The VITamin is in the cupBoard&#8221;<br \/>\nB: The bitamin is in the cuvord.<br \/>\nT: VITamin<br \/>\nB: Vitamin<br \/>\nT: Good job. Now, cupBoard.<br \/>\nB: cupboard<br \/>\nT: Now, say &#8220;The VITamin is in the cupBoard&#8221;<br \/>\nB: The vitamin is in the cupboard.<br \/>\nT: Yeah!! You did it. Let&#8217;s go get a vitamin.<br \/>\nB: Yeah, a bitamin.<br \/>\nT: A what?<br \/>\nB: A VITamin.<br \/>\nT: Right! Where are the vitamins?<br \/>\nB: In the cupboard.<br \/>\nT: Very good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The one with 2 brown garages<br \/>\n<\/strong>B: I want to go to grandpa&#8217;s house<br \/>\nT: Which grandpa?<br \/>\nB: The one with 2 brown garages.<br \/>\nT: Two brown garages?<br \/>\nB: Yea, grandpa has 2 garages and the scary man has 2 garages too.<br \/>\nT: That&#8217;s true.<br \/>\nB: And he has hair on his face.<br \/>\nT: Grandpa? or the scary man?<br \/>\nB: Grandpa has hair on his face.<br \/>\nT: And 2 brown garages?<br \/>\nB: Yep.<br \/>\nT: Well, we can&#8217;t go today, but maybe we&#8217;ll go see grandpa soon.<br \/>\nB: I just want to go today.<br \/>\nT: I know, but grandpa is at work&#8230; and you need to take a nap, so we&#8217;ll have to go later.<br \/>\nB: Okay.<br \/>\n<em>Incidentally, the grandpa with 2 brown garages is my dad. I knew he had two garage doors, but I didn&#8217;t remember that they were brown &#8211; and I grew up in that house. lol. I actually called him to confirm the color of his garage doors &#8211; sure enough.<br \/>\nAlso, it should be noted that &#8220;the scary man&#8221; is actually our next door neighbor (who is actually not scary at all). Apparently he smiled at Bridget one day when she said &#8220;hi&#8221; to him, and apparently it scared her for some reason. This was months ago &#8211; ever since she&#8217;s called him the scary man.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>When I&#8217;m a daddy<br \/>\n<\/strong>B: When I&#8217;m a daddy I can stand on the table.<br \/>\nT: When you&#8217;re a daddy?<br \/>\nB: Yea, when I&#8217;m a daddy I can.<br \/>\nT: But daddy doesn&#8217;t stand on the table. We&#8217;re not supposed to stand on the table.<br \/>\nB: If he tries, I will tell him &#8220;No, daddy! Don&#8217;t stand on the table&#8221; and he will get down.<br \/>\nT: That&#8217;s a good idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m convinced that someone could write an entire blog just of things toddlers say.
