A few little things that have given us a laugh:
Don't forget your protein!
One thing we've learned is that when you say something, Abby is bound to repeat it. About 3 or 4 weeks into our road trip, I've started saying, "it will be nice to get into a proper routine" - or - "I can't wait till we get settled and get into a normal routine again". You know - it's nice to be on vacation, but at a certain point, you long for routine. Anyway - the other night we were tucking Abby in (way past her bedtime as usual) and she laid down, covered herself and said, "Man, I will be glad when I get back into my protein".
Word Slips
Here's a few word substitutions we've recently chuckled over:
"Yumsters" for youngsters
"Dooms" for dunes
The Turn Out
I should have my Mom write this one up as she was part of the original conversation. Abby was talking about how you know it's a boy or a girl when it's newborn...they "take it to the turn out"...apparently at the turn out, you find out whether it "turned out" to be a boy or a girl.

Sometimes, the editing mechanism that exists between Abby's brain and mouth doesn't work properly and conversations like this occur:
Mom: "Ok Abby, let's get ready for bed."
Abby (in a whining, complaining tone): "Oh Moooommmmm....I don't feel good".
Mom (in an aggravated, I'm about to unleash on you kind of tone): "Abby....you just spent 30 minutes bowling on the Wii with us and you looked perfectly fine to me. Now, all of the sudden it's time to get ready for bed and you don't FEEL good?"
Abby (thinking, thinking, thinking): "I meant to say..........I....love you".
Mom: "Ok Abby, let's get ready for bed."

The scene: Unloading of the groceries...
Background: Abby usually pretends to "scan" the groceries and then hands them to me to put in the fridge.
The problem: A bad case of the whines.
Mom: "Abby, if you are going to whine while doing that I'm going to fire you."
Abby's bottom lip begins to quiver and turn down...eyes begin to enlarge
Abby: "Is there going to be a gun?"
Mom: "Huh?"
Tears begin to well up in the young brown eyes
Abby: "You're going to shoot me?"
Explanation and hugs followed.
