Kezia and Ivy made a Funny

Kezia: This is only funny if you are familiar with the Argentinian ballad from Veggietales. There is a part of the song where Bob the Tomato gets upset at Larry the cucumber for accusing him of not being able to dance. "What do you mean I can't dance?" He asks. Larry responds in Spanish, "No comprendo" (I don't understand). Kezia has had a really hard time not using her hands to eat. It's like her hands are magnetized to the food. So one evening over dinner, we spent quite a bit of time deciding what to do about it. We decided to come up with a cheer to chant when Kezia only uses her utensils. As a family, we were creating all these silly cheers that we could use. When we were done, I turn to Kezia only to see her grab her food with her hands!! I said, "Kezia! Why are you using your hands? We just spent all this time talking about NOT using your hands and what we can do if you don't use your hands!! Why are you using your hands?!?" She looked at me for a second and responded, "No comprendo."

Ivy: To make sure everything is clean as a whistle on her rear end after using the potty, Ivy pulls sheet after sheet of toilet paper off the roll (and somehow still doesn't succeed at cleaning what needs to be cleaned.) After this ritual of waste the other day, I hear her flush the potty and then she called to me, "Look, Mom! It's Little Mermaid!!" I peer where she was pointing into the now clogged toilet. On top of the rising toilet water was a wispy gathering of toilet paper seemingly dancing in the twirling of the water. Who else but a three year old girl would see Little Mermaid in a clump of used toilet paper?!?
