\nAvery<\/strong>: “Mom, why do you always do that sexy whistle when you see that man [Bradley Cooper]?”

\nMe: “Ainsley, it looks like your forehead is peeling.”

\nAinsley<\/strong>: “Mom, why do you say that I ‘pooped you out’ when you’re tired?”
\nMe: “Well, because… it just means that I’m tired.”
\nAinsley<\/strong>: “Well Mom, then just say ‘I’m tired,’ because I never pooped you out and I never want to.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nAvery<\/strong>: “Mom, why do men take SO long in the bathroom? Is it because there are a lot of pages of the newspaper to read?”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n(Camping at El Capitan)
\nAinsley<\/strong>: “Mom, why do little kids always have to go to bed earlier than the adults?”
\nMe: “Because little kids are small and need more sleep than adults.”
\nAinsley<\/strong>: “Well Mom, little kids are also very curious and want to know what adults do when the little kids go to bed at night.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nAinsley<\/strong>: “Avery, will you tell me about Kindergarten?”
\nAvery<\/strong>: “Well, the only thing I remember is that there is a red button on the wall, but don’t press it, because it will make the fire alarm go off.”
\nAinsley<\/strong>: “That’s ALL you remember?”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nAvery<\/strong>: “Mom, when I was a tiny baby, did you ever kiss my butt?”

\n(Upon begging me to pretend to be a cat with them and meow and purr)
\nAvery<\/strong>: “Mom, you have to meow more.”
\nMe: “Meow, meow,” then pretended to cough up a hairball and writhe around in pain, gagging…
\nAvery<\/strong>: “Maybe you should just stay a human, Mom.”
\nAinsley<\/strong>: “Yeah, you’re not very good at this.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n(Upon waking up to the sound of Ainsley butchering the Pledge of Allegiance while sitting on the pot)

\nAinsley<\/strong>: “Mom, sometimes I shoot a booger out of my nose when I giggle because… that’s just how life works.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nAinsley<\/strong>: “Mom, your lotion smells good. What does it smell like?”
