Late April Quotes by Elsie

While playing at her friend Simon's house in the evening:
Elsie:  "Mama, Elsie is very tired.  Maybe we should just stay here and I can go to sleep in Simon's bed tonight."
Mama:  "Simon needs to sleep in his own bed, and you do, too.  If you are tired, then we better go home so we can get ready for sleep."
Elsie:  "Oh, no.  Elsie's not tired."

Daddy:  "Did you have any good dreams last night, Elsie?"

Elsie:  "Where are we going today?"
Mama:  "Where do you want to go today?"
Elsie:  "We have to go to the hospital to buy three more little babies!"
Daddy:  "Three more?  That many?  I don't think they will all fit in the Kermit car!"
Elsie:  "Yes, they will fit.  You will hold one little baby, and Elsie will hold a little baby, and Mama will hold a little baby, and Baby Sylvie will be in her car seat.  Now let's go to the hospital to buy those little babies!"
