Quotes from Jackie

Yesterday, after telling me how she told her preschool class that her kitty was named Rosabelle, she teared up as she said: " Oh, why did you have to name me Jackie. I wanted to be Rosabelle".

Feel free to call Jackie Rosabelle whenever you like.

While wearing a dress up dress, standing alone in the living room, holding a crown, and looking sad, " I'll never win". Then holding the crown higher, "What, I am the winner?" Then putting the crown on her head, " Oh, I never, ever thought I would win, Thank you".

Not sure what contest she won. I think it probably had something to do with having the most beautiful dress.

As we were walking together to get Alice from the bus stop.
Me: What did you say Jackie?

Jackie: Mom, I wasn't talking to you, I was just telling myself a story, be quiet".

Jackie got her Halloween costume yesterday. It is a pink princess dress (original choice I know). She is wearing it to her birthday party tomorrow. When Alice got off the bus and saw it, she immediately wanted to try it on too. The whole walk home Alice tried to convince Jackie to let her try it on. She offered to let Jackie wear her costume (Bat girl). She offered to let Jackie pick what was for lunch tomorrow. She offered to let Jackie pick the show the next time they watched TV. She pretty much went through everything they ever fight about. Jackie refused all trades. Finally, as we were nearing the house, she said "Jackie, isn't there anything you want more than that dress!"
Jackie: "There is nothing I could ever ever want more than this dress."
A well placed 15 dollars I think.
