gage: knock knock

mom: who's there?

gage: zu

mom: zu who?

gage: no, silly! her name is zuzu not zuhu!

zuzu: knock knock

mom: who's there?

zuzu: zu

mom: zu who?

zuzu: no, silly! my name is harry not zuhu!

and I quote.

zuzu: I'm done (with dinner)

mom: You need to eat your last strawberry.  A corndog, four grapes and two strawberries is hardly enough dinner.  Especially since I know you're going to want an ice cream cone later.

zuzu: (ponders last strawberry on plate for a brief second)
And ice cream!

and I quote.

mom: well let's see when dad is available

zuzu: when dad is available?! we can buy dad on line!

and I quote.

zuzu: c'mon mommy, come in my room and let's put babies in our tummies.

mom: zuzu, I've already had two babies in my tummy and I really don't want any more.

zuzu: no mommy!  this one doesn't kick.  it's FAKE!
