(Car conversations)MIA: "Mommy, I'm tired of being sweet. I want to be a war girl."
(Tita Dobz gave Mia a two-piece swim suit for Christmas and she is rummaging the closets looking for it.)
MIA: "Daddy, have you seen my red bikini?"
DADDY: (looks up from his laptop with a shocked and puzzled look) "Huh??? Who says you're allowed to wear a bikini?"
(On our way to SM)
MOMMY: "Mia, remind me to go to Toy Kingdom today, okay?"
MIA: "Okay, Mommy. Tell me if you forget."
(Quiz time)
MIA: "Mommy, what's 100 + 2?"
MOMMY: "102."
MIA: "Correct! Next, what's 100 + 200?"
MOMMY: "300."
MIA: "Very good! You're learning, Mommy!"
(I guess we're watching too much Glee?)
MIA: "Mommy, I know why Rachel doesn't want Quinn for Finn."
MOMMY: "Why?"
MIA: "Because she loves him more."
(All of us are snuggled up in our own beds for the night)
MIA: "Hey, Mommy!!!"
MOMMY: "Yeah?"
MIA: "You know what's missing from my bed?"
MOMMY: "What?"
MIA: "My water tumbler. I'm sleepy. You go and get it."
(Eh?)
(Just finished reading her first Magic Treehouse book, The Knight at Dawn)
MIA: "Mommy, you know what a moat is?"
MOMMY: "What is it?"
MIA: "It's a river that protects the castle and sometimes it has crocodiles!"
(The three of us were watching Small Soldiers and it's the part where Alan Abernathy destroys a nearby powerline to fry the Commando Elite's chips in an EMP blast)
MOMMY: "What was that explosion?"
MIGUEL: "Oh, it was the EMP."
MIA: "What's that?"
MIGUEL: "Electromagnetic Pulse."
MIA: "Oh.... You know what pulse means?"
MIGUEL: "What?"
MIA: "Pulse means repeated sound."
(Where in the world does a 5-year-old learn these things???)
(Car conversations...again)
MIA: "Daddy, you know what Titing (her classmate) told me today?"
DADDY: "What?"
MIA: "He says he wants to be the next John Lloyd Cruz."
