This just in! Over the weekend I caught a couple more Zoeisms: she calls her forehead her "fourth head" and she refers to the kitchen timer as the "cookie maker." She keeps us in stitches!
Zoe's been saying the funniest things lately; I have to start writing them down. Usually the humor of her remarks is due to her underwhelming command of time-related adverbs: "I had SO many splinters in my knee tomorrow" (reference to an event that occurred in May) or conjunctions such as because: "We had such a good time on the houseboat with Grandma and Grandpa because purple is a really pretty color." (The houseboat isn't purple. Purple had nothing to do with our houseboat conversation. In fact no other colors or favorite things were mentioned.)
Today at lunch it was just plain funny:
"Mom, cheese crisp lives for salsa."
I fear that it won't be long before she & Lucy have a greater command of the English language and these funny sayings aren't heard anymore... but in the meantime, I'm determined to do a better job of writing them down.

I'm pretty sure that cheese crisp lives for guacamole. Oh, no. Wiat. That is what I live for.
Yeah, that's nice spelling. I meant WAIT.
Dang, I'm afraid you're right. But Z definitely prefers her salsa.
Keep writing them down, otherwise you'll only have one phrase to repeat "I want my bobby, I said-uh!"
I'm not a HAM. I'm NOT a ham! I'm not no crazy ham - what's a ham?
I'm kind of wondering why the "ham" contributor stayed anonymous. :)
And you know in our family it is all about "specialty cookness with Cheyenne pepper." Thanks, Cole.
It's so true... when I was there a few days ago she was saying something and then connecting it to a remark about something totally unrelated. I wish we could get how her mind works. I've never heard so many random things come out of such a tiny person. It's SO cute and SO funny.
