I tink it's summer time now for sure...

• One particularily hot, muggy day Brenley said,"wooooooooooooo! Today's a day you need to be bare dressed!" (bare naked, or not dressed)

• And she also told Kyle, "Dadaidh you can be bared... I won't mind" (bared = naked)

• LOL "Mamaidh... can you dead that fly? It's driving me crazy!"

• "I just figured it out.It took me until I was 3 years old. But now I'm older than myself! " LOL God we laughed at that!In the truck on the way home from Scotsville.Canada Day, 2009

• "Why does Madden have blue eyes, Mamaidh?" / "Why do you have green ones, Brenley?" / "Cuz God made me that way.... actually God made me as a boy first and then he thought I didn't look very fancy, so then he made me a girl. I'm fancy now."

• "Mamaidh, why are you so cranky?" / Cuz you always leave a mess everywhere, Brenley. You never clean up and then I have to." / "Well, you're doing a good job...." (ggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

• "Know what I did not quite enjoy? That party for Nanny. I just didn't quite enjoy it...."

• "Hwoooooooh! I just opened the fridge door and I had to say 'Jesus' -- it was really cold in there!"

• "My heart is saying 'Jesus' right now.... it's scared when I'm jumping so high!"

"Mamaidh, This hotel has the most fabulous beds, the most fantastic stairs... I love it!"


After having a hard time being good and getting reamed out by me many times:
"Mamaidh, why are you so mosach at me today?"
"Cuz you're not listening and you're not being a good girl."
"Well, you know I can only be good on Fridays and Wednesdays"


After the ceilidh in Judique Sunday afternoon:
"Are we going to Uncle Dale's for tunes? Everyone wants me to be there!"
(uh-oh... LOL)


After having another spell of not-so-good-behaviour... and being banished to her room as punishment, I hear....
"Mamaidh, can we have a talk?"
"No, not now"
"Can you come here, then so we can have a con-sem-trayv-shon?" (conversation!) LOL
(I didn't go!)

We're gonna have to start getting out of bed early to get ahead of this one...

Brenley gets off the computer desk chair and says to Kyle, "God my hips are sore... they're so sore."
Kyle was a bit concerned, becuase she seemed so sincere:
"Show me where your hips are hurting..."
Brenley proceeds to pull down her socks and show him some red heels!
(She had worn a different pair of shoes all day without socks!) LOL


In the car one day she pulled a green sock out of her bin beside her car seat."Mamaidh, how in the name of GOD could I lose a green sock?!?!"


So, she's going through the stage now where she dresses herself EVERY day... and has to pick out her own outfits. (Ok... sometimes it's 5, 6, even 8 outfits a day!) So one day, she came out of the bedroom looking like some kind of scarecrow, and said,
"Mamaidh... Look what I did!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Wow, Brenley, do you ever look good! I love your outfit!"
"Am I as stylin' as Johnny Ass-in-Kaizer?!?"

Yes, good old Johnny Ass-in-Kaizer. Now, we ask, who the hell is he?!?!
Turns out (we had to find out where this guy came from) he's a hockey player (go figure) and he's really good and he's tall and he's s t y l i n' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He comes up regularly in conversation now.... like the weather.... or Madden.... but he's usually in the context of some kind of fashion statement! Johnny Ass-in-Kaizer... if there's really one of you out there, can you please contact us? LOL


And finally for this post...

At the mall one evening, Kyle's worst fears came true. He had a glimpse into the years of shopping ahead of him,
"Oh, look, Dadaidh! Doesn't this shirt look awesome with these jeans?!?!"
(We were in the ladies section at Urban Planet... LOL)

April showers bring ...

... out Brenley's zany sense of... well, being Brenley!

April 20th:
Brenley:"Can we have a jammie day today?"
"No"
"Can we have a jammie day at Ma's?"
"No... you have to get dressed cuz it's Helle's birthday."
"TODAY!?!??!"
"Yeah"
"WEEEEEEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm so a-cited. Did you hear me hollar wee-hoo when I was coming upstairs cuz I kinda thought it was a special day today?!"
(She didn't hollar at all coming up the stairs!)

April 26th
I asked Brenley if she wanted cucumbers for a snack:
"Ok, Mamaidh"
I went to the fridge and noticed we had baby carrots, too.
"We have baby carrots, too, do you want some of those too?"
"Um... do we have a veggie tray?"
"No, we have cucumbers and carrots, though, like you get in a veggie tray."
"Oh. Mamaidh, remember the good ole days when we had veggie trays?!?"

April 29th
Someone was having a particularily cranky day... but she decided to get dressed anyway.
It was a big secret, as she was going to pick out her outfit, and dress herself, put her own clips in her hair, etc.
"I'm going to be so beautiful," she said.
When she came out of her bedroom, she asked,
"So, how do I look? Do I look beautiful?"
"Yes," I said, "you look stylin... like someone who could clean their room looking so super stylin'"
"No, Mamaidh. I said I only I LOOK super stylin'.... I'm not super girl"
(It would take Super Girl to clean that room!)

OH NO!!!!!!!!!

Since she could talk... Kyle has been drilling "Leafs Suck" into Brenley's head.

(Ma is a typical, big Leafs fan -- Kyle is a Habs fan)

Then, we find this out:

LOL

March's Additions to the Brenley Speaks Hall of Fame (or Shame?!?!?)

Have you ever had:

"Dipple Pickle" on your popcorn?

Or

"Make-up Syrup" on your waffles and pancakes?

Brenley has! Just ask her!

I said to Brenley..

"Maybe when Dadaidh gets home we can all go for a walk"

"...You mean Madden, too, in the stroller?"

"Yep."

"Well that would be good and we can all tell stories to each other. Like stories about playing!"

Madden coughed and Brenley says, "Jesus Murphy, Mamaidh, What was that!??! It scared me!"

Brenley was having a hard time getting to sleep and kept hollaring upstairs. Kyle finally went to the top of the stairs and hollared down, "Brenley... GET TO SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I can't!"

"Well, if you can't get to sleep, count sheep!"

(The response, equally as frustrated...)

"Dadaidh.. I don't know all the numbers, you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

(Dadaidh went down and counted sheep to 100... after we stopped laughing!)

"Look at this sticker, Dadaidh... it's a witch with a spelling rod!" (aka magic wand! Ingenious, I think)
