A bit of my kids this week

Evelyn:
Who made God?
------
Evelyn: Why do I have to take a nap?
Me: Because it helps your body rest. You need rest to grow.
Evelyn: So does a nap have protein in it?
............
We were shopping at a store and Evelyn asked, "Where in the store do the workers sleep at night"?
---------
I was painting our living room today and I looked up to see that Ivy had dumped half a gallon of paint onto the floor, was lying right in the middle of the thick puddle, patting it with her hands and smiling at me with beige-smeared lips.
-----
Steven had given Evelyn a cup of cereal and turned on a show for her in the morning before he went to work so I could sleep in for awhile. When I got up the left-over milk had spilled all over the couch, so I pointed it out to her that eating cereal on the couch isn't the best idea. The next morning she announced to Steven, "Daddy, Mommy says that you're not very smart".
------
Evelyn gave up her pacifier-use only about a month ago. The other day I found a pacifier under her pillow. Fearing a relapse, I asked her if she'd been sucking on it. She told me no, that she put it under her pillow for the pacifier-fairy.
