Franki and vince have gatroenteritis, and so vomitting and diarrhea is our way of life for the past 3 days. Vince was 3 days behind franki with his symptoms, so when he heaved yesterday...

Franki announced loudly: Mommee, Daddee, vincent barfed. why is he barfing?
Daddee: 'cause he's sick like you
Franki: we're kids. we barf a lot. when we're older, we won't barf any more.
Daddee: i don't know about that. you guys barfed because you're sick, not because you're kids.
Franki sighed: what's up with all the barfing daddee?

M: no franki, you cannot have it. you need to stop asking.
F: i have an idea. how about you and daddee shrwink down to be babies and i'll be the big girwol. then i can send you to your room and then i can get it all by myself?
A silly question gets a simple answer
Dave: Little girl, why are you naked?
Franki: because i took my clothes off. :o)

LOL doih :o) dave felt pretty smart after he received that answer :o) LOL

She has great work ethics
Dave called home from work and Franki answered the phone.
D: hi monkey. wachadoin'?
F: i'm working on my stuff
D: oh yeah? wacha workin' on?
F: Mommee's putting vincent to bed. bye daddee.
Dave called back: Hi monkey. can i talk to mommee?
F: daddee. you have to stop calling me. go back to work. :o)

Daddee: you're the bestest daughter!
Franki in "isn't it obvious" tone: i know daddee


Franki: hey mom, could i bring this into the bath tub?
Mommee: lemme see...hmmm...i guess so...but it's not a bath toy, on second thought, maybe you shouldn't.
Franki: how about on another thought, you let me bring it into the bath tub?


Franki: vince, no don't do that. you're breaking the rules
Vince grunted at her
Franki: no vince. if you do that again, i'm going to send you to your room
Vince grunted at her harder
Franki grunted back in frustration then stormed away into her room, then from her room she says "fine. i'll go into my room and be by myself since you won't listen to me"


Mommee: Franki...where's your drawing stuff? the pencil box looks empty.
Franki: my drawing stuff is downstairs
Mommee: why are they downstairs? they should be in your pencil box. I know YOU know that...
Franki: i put them in my shapes box
Mommee: ok...so where's the shapes box
Franki in an exasperated tone: i said they're downstairs

My thoughts...she's not even four and she's this this this...this...can't even find a word... :o) what's worse, she's been doing this since she was 3'ish...scary...

Nov 23, 2009: I just witnessed Franki singing lullabies to her brother in Pantera style, with the head banging and all, yet, she has never seen a rock video... :o) LOL

Franki and vince were taking a bath. Dave was at work late (7:00pm and still there). our plan B for the night was a movie and pizza.

Franki: mom? the water is getting cold. i need you to add more hot water so i can be warm.
Mommee: it is huh? and that's a great solution you thought of...but i think we should take this opportunity and finish with our bath so we can get ready to watch the movie and have pizza with daddee when he gets home...
Franki: but i'm not ready to come out. i'll turn on the water by my self.
Mommee: you know the rules about hot water...besides, don't you want to watch our new movie?
Franki silent for a minute or so: i have a great idea. how about we bring the tv in here so i can watch and take a bath? i think that's a great idea mom.

NOTE: she stopped calling me Mommee for months now...but being true to a mother's mentality, my ears still hear Mommee... :o)

Franki to Vince: ok vincent, when you're older, i'll show you how to play with dominoes. see? one dot plus one dot equals more dots. seeeee...?????


Kim groaned: Oih my back hurts.
Franki: My back doesn't hurt. it says i'm happy laying down here, seeeee...???


Franki: Hey mommee, i have an great idea. how about we put the TV outside so we can watch outside and play bouncy????


Franki: can i go outside today?
Mommee: nah, not today. it's been raining and so there will be lots of mosquitoes outside.
Franki: mosquitoes like me.
Mommee: i think they like to BITE you, that doesn't necessarily mean they LIKE you.
Franki: mosquitoes like to hug me.
Mommee: uh...they bite, they don't hug. they bite you.
Franki: you can call it bite. i will call it hug. :o) --- LOL this girl is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Franki's first batch of cookies which she did ALL the measuring, egg breaking and mixing. i only helped with the oven part, and of course, the cleaning up after but...the egg shell in the cookie may show that she should find better help :o)
