Funny Eva

Just because she continues to make me laugh, here are some more recent conversations with Eva.

Driving in the car:

A cat ran across the street in front of us and he had a dead mouse in his mouth.

Me: Eva, look!  That cat caught a mouse.  Pretty cool, huh?

Eva: But how did he catch it?

Me: I don’t know.  He probably cornered it and pounced.  That’s what cats do.

Eva: But not all cats.  Tom never catches Jerry.  The truth is that Tom always chases Jerry but never catches him.

At the supermarket:

Eva: Can I have a treat?

Me: No, you don’t need a treat.

Eva: (pointing to herself) But Mom! This cat eats people food.

At home:

Eva: Can I play on your phone?

Me: No.  You’re in trouble for not obeying.

Eva: But Mom!  You guys wouldn’t stop bothering me.  That’s why I didn’t listen.

Getting in trouble:

Eva was upset about something and swatted at my leg.

Me: Eva, don’t hit.

Eva: I didn’t.

Me: Then what do you call that?

Eva: I call it my freaking out.

At Ace Hardware:

There was a bucket of rabbit’s feet on the counter and Eva and I were playing with them.

Me:  Ew, gross.  I think it’s a real rabbit’s foot.  It feels like a real foot.

Eva: Here, let me see.  Mama! It’s just wood with cotton on top.

Listening to music:

Eva: I like that song.

Me: You do?

Eva: Yeah, see my tear of joy?

In the car:

Myke has a retractable back scratcher in his car and Eva was using it.

Eva: Ahhhh.  That feels good.

Myke: Yeah, I like it too.

Eva: You know my favorite thing about the back scratcher?  It gets all my fleas.

And that’s exactly why her dad likes it too.
