Savannah Says!

Yep! Another round of "Savannah Says!"

"I don't want to go on an AD-venture! I want to go on an EGG-venture!"

Savannah: "Dad! Let's go to Brazil!"

Bryant: "Do you know where Brazil is?"

Savannah: "Ummmm.... In Salt Lake?"

(Watching a cartoon in the other room, then yelling) "Mom! Those are the ugliest cows I've ever seen! They're not cute like the cows at Grandma Cynthia's cabin house."

"We need to find the heart of the jaguar!"

(I was in Savannah's room, and Bryant and Savannah were next door, in my room)

Bryant: "Hey Savannah, where did your Mom go?"

Savy: "Ummm... Out for seafood."

(When my Mom was at the hospital, my Dad took Savannah down to the gift shop and bought her a small stuffed cat)

"My kitty cat's name is Superman Cherry!"

(Writing on a piece of paper)

"Dear diary, I'll never give up! But maybe I'll give up tomorrow..."

"Is that cool?"

"Does that sound like a plan?"

(Both things she says if she asks to go do something)

"Grandpa, cut my watermelon in a semi-circle"

"Grandpa, cut the watermelon like a stop sign"

"Mom, my sandwich needs to have 4 equal sides"

(When I woke up and was looking particularly tired and feeling crummy)

Me: "Savannah, I look rough today!"

Savy "No Mom, you look amazing without makeup!"

(Playing with a tape measure)

"Behold! The most evil thing in the universe!"

(She didn't hear me walk up behind her, and she jumped)

"Jinkies Mom! You scared me!"

(Looking at a picture of Captain Moroni, and dramatically batting her eye lashes)

"Mom, that guy is so handsome! I wish I could go to the ball with him! Will you tell me a story about him?"

Savannah Says

It's time for another round of Savannah Says! I've gotten into the habit of writing these down on my phone as soon as she says them. Enjoy!

We were all sick this week, and Savannah came and crawled in bed with me and asked "Mom, how are you feeling?" and I said "I have a tickle in my throat that's making me cough" and she paused, then said "Oh, well that's lousy".

Later, she was coughing and I asked how she was feeling, she said "I feel like Scooby Doo, if he was a chicken, eating a pickle."

The tiles in our kitchen are hot lava, and while I was doing dishes, she was hopping around on them, then froze and yelled "Nobody move a muscle!"

We were in the Riverwoods for dinner last night and two teenage girls walked by and Savannah ran up to them and said "Hey girls! You can't go swimming in that fountain over there ok! It says 'no swimming' on it, so don't go swimming! Alright? NO SWIMMING!"

Quietly singing in the car "We gotta go fast! We gotta go slow! I'm never going to give up! I'm never ever going to give uuuuuuup!

Bryant dressed her in a white, lace romper yesterday morning and she came into the bathroom while I was doing my hair and makeup and she complained that she didn't want to wear it, and wanted a princess dress instead. We were in a hurry and I didn't have the time to change her outfit so I told her she looked beautiful and like a princess anyway and she yelled "No Mom! This shirt doesn't make me look like a princess, I look like Humpty Dumpty!"

"Mom, can you do me a huge favor?"

"Sure! What do you need?"

"I need you to go downstairs and do some laundry please..."

Savy: "Mom, do you have a baby in your tummy?"

Me: "uh, no, I don't have a baby in my tummy right now."

Savy: "Well how do babies get in your tummy? Do you eat them?"

Me: "No, you don't eat babies to get them in your tummy, they just live in there until they get big enough to meet their family! Like when Deagan was in my tummy, remember?"

Savy: "So they are not like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?"

Me: "Nope, you don't eat them like a sandwich"

Savy: "oh yeah, because they would be too hard to eat. See? My neck and my head are hard, you can't eat my neck or my head. But Mom, you need to have my sister, her name is Keiko..."
