From October & November, 2008



While trying to lift the bookcase/tv stand in the living room, she says:

Who made this wood so heavy?!


(Mamaidh) I dunno.

Maybe God did!


While playing with her toys in the living room one day:
Oh my god! I don't know if I can make it... I really need to pee!
I'm getting out of here!
Look mamaidh, I did it (putting part of a doll house together)... and you
didn't think I never would!



Brenley was having a rough day one day... Dadaidh explains to her:
You're not listening, Brenley. You have to eat your supper. And Santa Claus is
watching. And he won't be very happy with you.
Brenley: What will he say?

Well, you know that hungry, hungry hippo game you want Santa to bring you...
well he wont' bring it.

Looks around with the hand gesturing to all the toys...

"Well, I already have lots of toys... I don't need that game."

Informed, stubborn little bugger!How are we suppposed to win
with that?!?!?
Daddy and Brenley were spending the day together. After eating breakfast at Burger King, they were on their way to Canadian Tire to get the winter tires on the truck. While driving there Brenley asked: "Dadaidh, affer we go get the new tires, can we go see the amnimals?"
"What animals?"
"The ones at the park... you know where they have the slide. "(Two Rivers Wildlife park)
"No, I'm sorry Brenley that place is closed today. I don't know why, but it is."
"No, it's not. "
"Yes, it is. I read it in the paper. The park is closed."
She proceeds to raise both hands in the air in disgust, turns her head away from him, and says in an old lady-like voice:
"Dadaidh, don't even look at me! I KNOW that that park is open."



While having another rough day, (as she explained to Dadaidh when he got home, "I was being a brat today to Mamaidh!") I got cross at her for being a brat, and sent her to her room for a nap.
She whined and she sooked and I warned her that if she didn't go for a nap I'd have to spank her bum!
After about 5 minutes of digesting that thought, she appeared around the corner, sticks her bum out to me, and says, "You might as well give it a try!"


HUH!??! Where did she come from?!?!?


And finally... the finer points of anatomy with Brenley...
On the way home from the hockey game:
"Dadaidh, why do we have noses?"
"To smell..."
"Like dogs' and cats' noses?"
"Yeah."
"I can smell with my nose."

um hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Some things are just "not healthy"

Brenley came to visit Mamaidh's school and some special visitors the other day. She was so excited she got up at 4:50am thinking it was time to go already! One of the guests was none other than her favourite Screaming Eagle, Robert Slaney. She was soooooooooooo excited to see him and have him sign her jersey and get her picture taken with him.

Once she left with Dadaidh, she had a funny moment:
While driving home with Dadaidh, she started laughing. When Kyle asked why, she said "cuz Nick a Neil is probably in bed crying!" Kyle asked why he'd be crying, and she said, "Cuz he didn't get to write on my sweater... only Robert Slaney did!"

In other Brenley-isms... she wasn't feeling well today, in fact she was "puking" and said, "Oh, Mamaidh, this isn't good. It's not health-fy!"

  • On Halloween night, my Aunt Jean was at Ma's and was showing everyone a beautiful quilt she had made for Alan and Tracey. Brenley walked right over to it and exclaimed: "Oh, I'd LOVE to have one of those!"

  • At the doctor's the other day, she proceeded to tell the doctor that she really did have a baby in her belly and it was doing ok, so the doctor only had to listen to Mamaidh's baby.
  • "Look, Mamaidh, look at this... I can make it [a hockey puck] balance!"


I"m sure there's been lots more that she's said, but that's all I can remember right now!
