Oh--the things she says.....UPDATED!!

I have not posted lately about the funny things Margaret says. This is NOT because she has stopped talking! Oh, actually the opposite. She is always amazing me with the things that come out of her mouth. She is a thinker....and a TALKER! I need to constantly have a pen and paper or tape recorder with me in order to remember all the sweet and hilarious things she comes up with!
Here are a few:
-The following comments are about how we could get to see John Christian after we learned that the smoke and fire may be so bad that we would have to cancel the trip to Santa Barbara:
Marg: "Well, we could ride in a bus that could get wings and fly over the locks." (where the road is closed??) "or we could fly a plane" (Marg tickets to fly are expensive), "or we could get a boat." She was pretty determined and still has days when she is sad and misses JC.
-In the car on the way to the lake the other day: "I am older than Olivia and Olivia is older than Alexandra and Alexandra is older than Rich's baby." (sorry Kimberly--he's only Rich's baby according to Margaret???)
-At the lake while playing with her cousin: "Not yet.....not yet.....we are playing.....not yet." I guess you may have had to be there to realize how funny this was. Melissa and I were very surprised at our girls!
-Talking to my mom: "Gugie we are more twins than my mommy and me are because we have the same color skin." Margaret has started to notice my freckles and her solid, dark skin!
-At the lake getting ready for bedtime with Olivia: "Olivia, I will protect you. YOur mommy will sleep downstairs. You don't have to be afraid. I am only afraid of fire breathing dragons, REAL witches, and dinasours!" She really wanted Olivia to sleep with her....
-Lately when she is about to ask for something she will begin with "If you will be so kind......"
-Another conversation with Olivia: O: "Baaie! Baaie!" (Potty) Marg: "HOLD IT! HOLD IT! Don't do it on Baby Emma or my hat!" This was absolutely hilarious to hear from the upstairs loft as Melissa and I were hanging out in the den at the lake cabin we rented.
