Anda Says (+Lilah Says)

(This list was started in October of last year)

Anda: Lion! Tiger! Rhinoctopus!

Anda [seeing some Mountain Dew]: That's my favorite level in Lord of the Rings! [Mount Doom]

[Anda slept until after 8:00am which is almost unprecedented]
Me: Wow, were you just so tired?
Anda: No! My dream was just really long. 

Anda: Can you leave the Earth?
Me: Like in a rocket ship? Sure. I can't, but some people can.
Anda: Why can't you?
Me: Well I'm not an astronaut or anything. 
Anda: Maybe we can get you a costume. 

Anda: Lilah is the squishiest one in our family. 

Me: Anda, what should we get daddy for Christmas?
Anda: ...A chair! A new couch! A tomato! A big giant robot that rules the land forever!...

Me: Anda, stop doing that!
Anda: Mommy, why do you just tell me things I can't do?
Me: I know. I'm sorry. I'm the worst mommy ever. 
Anda: No you're not! You're a superhero!

Anda: Why are there prophets on the money?

Anda [referring to my pregnant belly]: Does the baby eat your crumbs? Does he get cold when you eat ice cream?

Anda (watching high school students walking home): I think he was the snack helper today because his backpack looks big. 

Anda: Lilah, it's not "Punzel" it's "HERpunzel."

Anda: How much money is it?
Me: I don't know--maybe about $100?
Anda: That's a lot of money. You would have to carry a bag with all that money. 

[We sent her to a Baptist preschool]
Anda: Who was the very first baby?
Me: I don't know. Do you?
Anda: Yes. 
Me: Who?
Anda: God. 

Anda: Where is heaven?
Me: I'm not really sure. 
Anda: When we get home, we can look for it on the map. 

Anda [praying after Benjamin was born]: ...And please bless Mommy's tummy that it can get better and go back to how it was before...

Special Bonus Lilah Says:

Me [as I walk in to get a sick and snotty Lilah from her crib]: Good morning, baby!
Lilah: TISSUUUE!

Lilah [explaining to me how she puked up then reswallowed some of her chocolate doughnut while she was taking a bath earlier]: Chocolate burp.
