Taylor tells ...

Tom and I were off to Las Vegas to attend his dad's funeral, and Nana and Papa were watching the kids.  They were talking about death at the dinner table when Taylor asked, "Are you going to do die too?  Because you sure look old."  ~ March 3, 2011

Taylor told me how some boys at school mixed their chocolate milk and apple juice, and I could tell she was absolutely DISGUSTED by this and couldn't understand why they'd do it.  I told her, "You remember how Ryan (her cousin) would burp and fart all the time.  It's just what boys do."  She replied, "I think Jesus made them wrong."  ~ March 1, 2011

"Mom, I'm one of Ms. Fontana's Sweethearts."  "Why is that?"  "Because she called me sweetheart today."  ~ August 2010

She was having a hard time putting her boot on and was stomping her foot.  Papa noticed and said, "Taylor, you're putting your boot on the wrong foot."  Taylor replied, "They made these stupid boots wrong."  ~ November 17, 2009

As I'm wiping the cinnamon roll off her race, "Be careful.  You don't wanna wipe Taylor Orme off."  ~ August 31,2009

Taylor loved standing and pretending to be a statue in these alcoves at the top of the stairs outside the Salt Lake Temple where everybody takes pictures.  We had to get her down from the alcove to take pictures, but she was standing near the top with Tom during the pictures, so it drove her nuts being so close to the alcoves, yet unable to go stand in them.  She kept asking to go back and finally in an attempt to get Tom to take her back to the alcoves, she told him, "Turn around big boy."  ~ June 21, 2008

Taylor was throwing a fit about going out to eat with family, and Madison was trying to get her to go inside.  Taylor told her, "Can you see my attitude?  My mom can see my attitude."  ~ June 20, 2008

I was on the computer, and Taylor was playing with our musical instruments.  She gave me one and told me we needed to practice.  After the practice ended, she told me, "Mom, we need to go to practice.com.  I know where it is."  It definitely shows that she was born in the age of the Internet; there's a .com for everything.  ~ February 28, 2008

Taylor saw me after my shower with a towel on my head.  "Mom, you're a maranamocker."  "What's that?'  "It's when you have something on your head that makes you look silly."  ~ February 22, 2008

"Mom, I dumped the water out on acci-didn't."  ~ February 8, 2008

We got a new cereal for the girls, so Taylor asked, "What are those?"  "Corn Pops."  "Well, some people call them Finger Pops."  ~ November 15, 2007

"Mom, I saw a mean rolly-polly."  "There aren't mean ones."  "He is mean.  I saw his eyebrows go like this," and she furrowed her brows.  ~ October 24, 2007
