Claire: Mama, what's a "jockey"?
Me: It's someone who races horses.
Claire: Ooooh! You mean a "joppy!" I know what that is!
------------------
Me: I love you so much!
Claire: I love you more than you love me!
-----------------
Me: Claire, why did you get in trouble at school today?
Claire: Me and Nathan were arguing about whose ice cream was the tastiest.
-----------------
Claire: Will we take Hermie's (our hermit crab) cage up to Heaven, or just Hermie?
Me: I think just Hermie.
Claire: But how will he change his shell?
Me: I don't know.
Claire: Maybe we could look around and collect shells for him and put them in a bag. Then we could hold onto the bag until we go to Heaven so he will have some in Heaven.

This is a sampling of my conversations with Claire today. I wish I could capture each one of her five-isms from every day. It's one of the perks to motherhood--an interactive comedic show.
