Heaven and ... the Other Place

When Evelyn is mad at me, she screws up her face and says one of two things:


1. "Go back to Heaven, Mommy!"

(This is also the same face she uses while singing in God So Loved the World "God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world!"

2. "The Lamanites will KILL you, Mommy!"



Evelyn playing with her dried blueberries at breakfast:

"You want to marry me?! NAAAAH!"

Evelyn can say "Scrumptious" (ie. "Dese pancakes are really scrumptious, Daddy!") but she can't say "Delicious." She pronounces it "Allicious." Why? I suppose we don't use delicious in normal conversations. We use synonyms (or cinnamons) such as scrumptious, yummy, "makes my taste-buds do the hokey-pokey," and if something is REALLY good, it's "scrumptulescent!" Evelyn only knows the word "delicious" because of the "5 Speckled Frogs" song. And if you say "Allicious" it sounds perfectly correct when you say "Most Allicious Bugs, yum yum!"
