While at the park, Lucy is hanging from the first rung in the monkey bars.
Boy: That's not how you do it.
Lucy: It's how I do it!
Boy: You have to go all the way across.
Lucy: I'm not a professional monkey bar climber, okay? I just like to hang here!
Lucy gets a chewable vitamin C tablet and a glass of water from my
chiropractor if she makes it through one of my appointments without
destroying their potted plants. On the way out the door she turns and
says to the chiropractor, with a sweet smile on her face, "Yum! Nothing
better than vitamin C and a tall, cool glass of water!" Everyone in the
chiropractor's office is visibly touched. In the elevator on the way
back down to the parking lot she says to me, without a hint of irony and
with a mouthful of mushy vitamin C, "actually, a trip to the beach and
an icecream cone would be better."

Cloudy with a chance of pee pee
Lucy: "Rain is like cloud pee pee."
I will never look at rainy days the same way.

Animal Trainer
Lucy: "Mom, I'm a really good animal trainer."
Me: "Oh yeah?"
Lucy: "Yeah. Look."
I turn around to see the kitchen counter covered in cat food.
Lucy: "I trained Lena to eat this cat food and she's doing it!"
Miraculous.

Lucy: "Yeah. Look."

Frozen
I accidentally left Annie's diaper bag in the car overnight. When she had a blow out poop at the chiropractor and I went to get the wipes, they were frozen solid.
Me: Oh no! How did this happen?
Lucy: Queen Elsa. She loves to freeze things. That's why she has a movie called Frozen.

Somebody contact Bob Dylan
Me: How many roads must a man walk down, before he is called a man?
Lucy: 5.
Apparently the answer blew in the wind straight to her ear.

Pop Quiz
Lucy: Mom, what's your favorite sauropod?
Me: Uhhh ... brachiosaurus?
Lucy: Me too, but I also like Argentinasaurus.
Phew! That was one of the most stressful pop quizzes I've had in over a decade!

High Ambitions
Lucy: I want to be a hairdresser for the circus when I grow up.
It's the "for the circus" part that I'm a little worried about.
