Funny Words of the Day

Here are a few words that my daughter has added her own little twist to: skin, eyeballs, and dress/crown/shoes.

• My daughter understands that our skin is what's on the outside of our bodies. But she seems to think that it is the outside of anything. "Look, mommy. That house has white skin."
• At any early age, my daughter has known most names for our body parts. But recently, she has started referring to her brother's sleeping and waking habits in a rather unusual way. "Mommy. Eyeballs. He's awake."
• My daughter was coloring with a little set of Disney princess markers that had wrappers on them. She was having a lot of problems with the wrappers sliding on and off, so she decided to pull them off completely. Now the markers had a colored cap and matching ring on the bottom, and the rest of the marker was white. She proceeded to describe the marker to her grandmother La La. "La La, this marker has a white dress and a matching purple crown and shoes." Who would have thought to describe the parts of a marker that way, but a child?
