cute shit Phineas says, part II.

Phineas is getting to be kind of hilarious the older he gets. Kids are known for their deadly honesty, and he's no exception.

Here are a few more gems from the last several months.

IN CONVERSATION

Phineas: I’m going to get big like Mitch.

me: yes you are!

Phineas: but now I’m little.

me: but you are bigger every day! once you were little enough to fit in my belly.

Phineas: … don’t eat me.

IN CONVERSATION II

Phineas: Mabel wants to talk.

me: What does she want to talk about?

Phineas: me!

me: What would she say about you?

Phineas: mrow.

IN CONVERSATION III

Phineas: do you have a headache today? me: no! Phineas: I’m so glad! one minute later… Phineas: I need to take a break. me: from what? Phineas: you.

BABIES

He told me he wanted to snuggle his "brudder" and laid on my stomach. He even talked to his "brudder" and said: "Hi buddy. I love you." In the next breath, Phineas asked, "Can I hit my brudder?"

(note: he alternates between calling this baby his “brudder” or sister. I’m saying this is not a gender reveal - Phineas just happened to land on “brudder” this time.)

(upon telling Phineas I have a baby in my belly)

Phineas: Did you eat a baby?

INSULTS

Don't get your stinky breath on me!

GETTING OUT OF BED

I want to snuggle for just a few minutes.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

I'm not ready to get up.

BEING SWEET

You're always beautiful, Mama.

You're my Calla.

ON LEAVING

Are you going to do laundry without me?

BEING POLITE

Come swing with me! Ask Dad if you can please be excused!

ON COOKING

I make recipes in the mixer with Dad. We put in the ingredients.

AS A NURSE

Do you have a headache? Let me feel your head. I will get you ice. (returns with one ice cube) You will feel better soon.

APOLOGIZING

I'm sorry, Muffin. (giggles) I called you Muffin!

ON OUR HOUSEHOLD GHOST

(looking in the library at night)

There's a ghost in there. I like that ghost.
