Here are some funny conversations with Sig--my five year old. She keeps us laughing.
First an interview:
Sig: What's wisdom?
Me: Good advice.
Sig: Umm. . .S T O P spells stop. . . and S M A R T spells smart.
Me: Great! What else can you tell me that is important?
Sig: You should always be H A P P Y --that means happy. Now can I watch a video on your iPod?
Me: Is that all you have for me?
Sig: Yes--can I watch the video now?
Me: Sure.
Me to Sig after her telling me some elaborate story that went something like: "I am your dog and you saw me do such and such and then you said 'Wow! you are really good at such and such' and then you saw me do this and then you did this and then and then and then. . . forever!" Which is a normal day around here with the girl who never stops talking. . .about made up stuff:
Me: Sig, do you ever see what is actually in front of you or only the stuff in your head?
Sig (after pondering for moment): Just the stuff in my head.
In the car (I must preface that I had never heard of Dave Ramsey until several bloggers mentioned him last fall. Now Rob LOVES Dave Ramsey and listens to him in the car ALL the time):
Sig (as Rob starts Dave Ramsey): NOOOO! I don't have any Dave Ramsey lives left!
Me: What?!
Sig: You have to let me listen to Crazy Frog to earn Dave Ramsey lives and I already used all my Dave Ramsey lives up. You have to let me listen to Crazy Frog now.
This girl lives one big video game. The only thing she hates more than Dave Ramsey is. . . .the drive through car wash. As we pull around the gas station and Sig realizes we are about to enter the car wash:
Sig: NOOO! NOT the CAR WASH! NOOO!
Rob: Either the car wash or Dave Ramsey.
Sig (Brow furrowed--small pause) Dave Ramsey!
Rob (laughing): I already paid for it--we have to go through.
Sig (Covering her eyes with her hand): Please tell me when I open my eyes we will be through!
Sig (Midway through car wash--peeks out) Hey! I am being brave--my eyes are open. . .I'm only shaking a little bit.
At dinner--Hannah is complaining about not liking dinner:
Sig (with a sign and a tone of exasperation): You just have to learn to eat real fast then you won't taste it!
And finally--in the kitchen with friend Grace:
Signe: Grace likes Stellan.
Grace: Well Signe likes Collin!
Rob: Signe, you like Collin?! You have a boyfriend?
Signe (with a sigh and eye roll--hand thrown out for emphasis): Well, it's not my fault--it's just that I'm the cutest girl in the claaass.
So there you go! Life and advice of Sig.

That girl cracks me up!
You're reiteration of her stories were dead on!
what a CHARACTER!! those were great!
You will love that you're writing this down now and she will only grow more and more PRACTICAL as years go on :)!
And watch out for that Dave Ramsey--he'll make you super happy, but he's awfully demanding about it! I'm forever having to say: sorry girls! can't go to lunch this week. My boyfriend Dave won't let me...
that girl cracks me up ALL THE TIME. She is truly one of a kind!
