Bedtime song requests

In her ongoing efforts to delay bedtime, H has started requesting songs with very specific topics. Last night she wanted a song about the following:
Home
Lacrosse
Consequences
Crying

Tonight she added in 
Food

I can't wait to see what comes up tomorrow.

More wisdom from the backseat

H: my teacher said they make milk from billy goats! They just shake off their fur.
M: Um, no, H. I don't think that's right.
H: I mean, they cut off their fur.

Afternoons in the car

M: We're going to hang out with your cousins this weekend. Remember Liam, Sawyer, and Wyatt.
H: What's a Wyatt?
M: Wyatt is your cousin! He's Sawyers brother.
H: I love my cousins. They're my buddies! Only boys can be buddies, my teacher said.

Mornings in the car with H

When you eat your boogers they go in your mouth and come back out your nose. 

Is a crab meaner than a hamster?

Did you know that kangaroos can knock you down? Not baby ones because they're so little and cute. That's a pet that doesn't eat any food.

H on Civil Rights

H on Civil Rights
H: What is jury duty?
M: Well... [insert lengthy explanation tailored specifically to the understanding of a precocious 3 year old here]... So that's why we have jury duty.
H: [Shaking head] No. Only bad people go to jail. [After a thoughtful pause] Remember that lady who got put in jail by the two policemen?
M: You mean Rosa Parks? She wasn't bad, was she?
H: Yes she was! She didn't follow the rules.
M: Right, but the rules were bad. Just like you talked about at school. Sometimes it's ok to not follow the rules if they're not fair.
H: But she was still bad. She didn't wear her seatbelt! On May 09, 2016 at 06:59PM

Apricots

Adventures in parenting: Just pulled a dried apricot the size of two pieces of candy corn out of H's nose with a pair of tweezers after unsuccessfully trying to blow it out CPR-style. #andthatswhywedonteatlyingdown On April 25, 2016 at 08:30PM

Are bananas healthy or junk food?

H: Are bananas healthy or junk food?
M: What do you think?
H: Healthy... unless you choke.
