"Mama, why do crocodiles live under the sewer?"

"Mommy, how do you get tummy aches?"

"Mommy, does honey get old?"

"Mama, why can't old people drive if they are 99?"

"When I get bigger as the size of you, can I have your clothes?"

"Ew, why does your breath smell like poop?"

"Mom, why do people blink their eyes?"

"Why are you so gassy?!"

Here's her official Golden Globe red carpet opinion of 2012:

{quotes straight out of the mouth of my five year old} 

 "Her dress matches the ground and it's too long."

 "It kind of looks cute with the belt and purse."

 "Beautiful.  The earrings, purse, bracelet, ring, it's gorgeous."

 "It looks like a flamingo head sticking out on the top.  That's all I can say."

 "Um, no."

 "Padded colors and sparkles, I like the cross and it's amazing."

 "Ugly."

 "Jewels, silver and gold and the straps are amazing."

 "Gorgeous.  Like a peacock."

 "I don't like her smile."

 "So white and beautiful.  Those look like my shoes and I love her headband."

 "The dress is white with freckles and it's kind of freaking me out."

 "She looks old."

 "The shoes are too fat!"

 "The yellow is so beautiful.  The hairstyle is fashionable."

 "Two yellows?!"

 "My favorite!  The blue and white colors look amazing and pretty and there are no straps and it is so adorable and cute!"

 "The belt is adorable and I like her skin color."

"Um, why is a boy wearing a dress and high heels?"

Brooklyn sings...

 

"I'm getting mutton for Christmas..."

"Nope, I already ate 'em all."

(when asked if he needed his fingernails trimmed)

Brooklyn says

 "Wellll, 

I stepped in a dog crap but Dad hosed it off and my hand only smells like it a little bit."

Brooklyn says

"I want to be a princess."

Mommy: "What do princesses do?"

"ummm chew with their mouths closed."

Brooklyn says

 "Hmmm, now which one is the real baby?"

Porter says

 

"I don't want to go to first grade.

I just want to skip all the grades and go to work."

Porter says

Mommy: "I'll give you a dollar if you will please feed Gus his bottle."

Porter: "I don't need your money, I have tons of my own."

Brooklyn says

"In Heaven there is 

no sickness,

no crying,

no stealing, 

and no night-ness."
