EJ wanted to wear all sweats today. We’ve been really hot for this time of the year so we warned her.
@robot-zombie.bsky.social told her something like “You’ll melt”.
EJ: I can’t melt, I’m made of mostly water.
Once daddy stopped laughing, he told her “Fine you’ll evaporate”

EJ has started to ask about religion. I told her that she’s too young to understand / choose what religion, if any, she is. She can do that for herself when she’s older.
5 year old her has informed me that she thinks her religion is that you must have ice cream on Sundays.

Things EJ said this am:
You don’t need to hear farts they’re stinky enough.
I want to be taller than everyone in the world so I can look down on them and pick them up in my hands.
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ (age 5) tried to convince @robot-zombie.bsky.social that today is a special holiday.
What holiday? The “you can have whatever you want anyway” holiday.
It did not work, but I’ll give her credit. It was creative and worth a shot.
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ just randomly announced “being a rare princess with a turtle head and a cow stomach is really hard”.
And I mean I can’t really disagree, that would be tough.

EJ at bedtime tonight:
“But I can’t sleep at night, I’m nocturnal.”
#ThingsMyKidSays
@robot-zombie.bsky.social : We’re even!
EJ : no we’re odd!
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ asked me to give her a title so I dubbed her “EJ the beautiful.”
She got so mad.
“No, I’m a knight” she said before squatting down to get on her pretend horse. She then put on her fake helmet, grabbed her fake sword, and galloped down the hall to face her next battle.
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ heard me singing Escape (The Piña Colada Song) .
She’s 5 and hasn’t heard of piña coladas so she started singing what she thought she heard “do you like piña koalas”
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ (age 5) just asked me if octopus ink is pee. I love that she thinks of these things and asks so she can learn more and more.
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ: I wish our wishes could come true. I wish candy and sugar and cupcakes were healthy.
*pause for one moment*
EJ: Okay sugar is healthy now, for real mommy.
Can’t blame her for trying.
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ (age 5) : I am QUEENA, the most powerful queen in the universe.
Me: What will you do with all of that power?
EJ: Save the world from bad guys.
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ (age 5) : I wish we didn’t have to do important things like brush our teeth, take showers, brush our hair.
I just want the do the fun stuff, like play.
Also EJ: I want to be an adult!
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ last week: I don’t want to watch Cocomelon anymore because it’s for babies and I’m 5, not a baby.
EJ today when Cocomelon was in the Netflix Summer playlist: COCOMELON! I’m going to play make believe with them.

Just overheard the small one (gaming online) tell his mate:
“It’s not cheating – it’s just playing smarter.”
Now torn between a device ban for the unapologetic cheating, or offering him a job in strategy.

EJ: Mommy, do you know I know everything because I am 5?
Me: I didn’t know that.
EJ: Did you know everything when you were 5?
Me: No, I was just learning to read.
EJ: Oh I can already read.
I let her have that one, she’s so proud she’s starting to sound out 3 letter words.

Yellow crocheted version of the Yip Yip alien Muppets
I crocheted EJ a Yip Yip alien from Sesame Street.
That kid. She told me “You didn’t do perfect, but you did your best”.

Things my 5-year-old says while playing Cobblemon (Pokemon Minecraft mod):
"No wait, come back Pokémon! You're beautiful!"
"Mum, look, it just falls down to sleep. It's actually just so cute."
"Ugh, that is a bunny rabbit, not a Pokémon."
#thingsmykidsays
EJ: Every day you are sick I am just going to be in charge of the house, is that fair?
Me and the hubs at the same time: NO!
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ just said her superpower is kindness and her superhero name is Kindness Kid E
#ThingsMyKidSays
My daughter (3 y/o) explained to me, very calmly, that she wanted to go to Japan with me next Spring so while I work, she can “admire the flowers”. I think she particularly liked building that Lego set with me 🤣 #japaneseflowers #thingsmykidsays
EJ’s class did individual Valentine photoshoots. They were asked what love is for the captions.
EJ answered “Love is giving hugs and kisses, but not to strangers."
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ: Did you know I’m a love witch?
Me: No, what does a love witch do?
EJ: If someone is bad I put a spell on them to turn them into love.
#ThingsMyKidSays
Go to wake up EJ. She looks outside, sees it’s still dark, and announces “It’s not time for learning yet.”
#ThingsMyKidSays
EJ told me she wanted a bagel, no sauce, for breakfast.
I love that she calls things like cream cheese “sauce”.
#ThingsMyKidSays
Things my 5yo says. “I’ll warm the ground till it tells me my future!” #dadslife #kids #thingsmykidsays
The hubs, after sneezing: I tried to warn you guys but it just came out, sorry.
EJ: that’s okay daddy, I like being scared by your sneezes
