My very first combined Ava-isms and Lincoln-isms post.  I know.  I just blew your mind.  Enjoy 🙂

Lincoln-isms:

• “I want a dwink a moke.”  (translation = I want a drink of milk)

• “I don’t want sun-scream on…I jus want to fim.” (translation = I don’t want sunscreen on.  I just want to swim.)

• “I luffs you Mom.  I need a hug.  I need a macker!  I like you eyes.”  (macker = smacker = kiss)

• “O-wa is so nice!” (O-wa = Ava)

• “That’s weird”  (his comment for about every animal at the zoo)

• “My cheeks are blue!  My cheeks are green!  They’re weird!”

Ava-isms:

• “Could you go away from me Mom and just let me do my business.”

• “I was playing outside and all of a sudden the bugs were just killing me!  I don’t know why!  They are such a bother.”

• “I have a very bad case of sickness and pain and sin and ummm…coldness.  But it’s really not that bad…”

• “You’re the biggest Momma on earth!”  (She totally meant this as a compliment…gee, thanks Ava.)

• “He’s a creepy little guy.”  (her comment for about every animal at the zoo)

• “When I looked up at the sky it made me think about God and the Holy Spirit and then I realized we have a mess in our hearts and…I need to clean my room tomorrow don’t I Mom?”

• “Hey Mom!  What’s your favorite color?”  Me:  “Ummm…blue.”  Ava:  “Really!  Green is my favorite color too!”  Me:  “I said blue not green sweetie.”  Ava: ( giggle giggle!)

• “But my Dad always used to let me do that!”  (I was actually impressed by her trying this one.  It didn’t work.  But it was still impressive.)

• “I need to keep this for my collection.  I really need to get a collection don’t I.”

• “That’s a shame!”

• “Hey Mom!  Things are surrounded by God’s will.”

• “God looks kinda different.  He looks like fire.”

• Me: “Ava, stop leaning on me.”  Ava: “But you’re so comfortable!”

• “My heart is beating.  ‘Cause the blood is pumping out.”

• “God’s Word is pure.”

• “I want to be like you Mom!  You have earrings and you drive…”

• “Well, you’re just a silly little Jessica!”

• While reading the story of David and Goliath I asked the question “Who do you think would win in a fight between a big scary huge giant and a little boy?”  Ava replied without hesitation: “Jesus!” 

• “God is really on your side Linc.”
