By Sophie, My 4 Year-Old Neighbor
1. My name's Sophie!
2. I'm 4 years-old! (Holds up three fingers and a thumb.)
3. I live next door to you!
4. That's my house right there! See it see it see it??? THAT'S MY HOUSE!!! Did you know that? Hello, house!
5. My favorite color's pink!
6. Waitwaitwait! I just changed my mind! It's blue! My favorite color's blue! I LOOOOVVVEEEE BLUUUUUEEE SOOOO MUCH I COULD DIE!!!
7. Wait, can you erase that? I like pink now.
8. I really, really, really, really, really love kittens! KITTENS! KITTENS! KITTENNNNSSS!!!
9. And cats!
10. I do NOT like worms. I can't stand worms. Yuck-o! One time, one time, when I was 2, I saw a worm and you know what? You know what? I totally puked up my grilled cheese! It was SOOO GROSS!
11. (Long pause while she tries to kiss a cloud.)
12. How many answers is that? Twelveteen? Fourteen? Eleventy thousand million?
13. I used to be a baby and all I did all day long was go "Wah wah wah!" Isn't that funny? Wah! (Goes into two-minute long giggle fit over her own joke.)
14. Got any cookies around here?
15. (Another long pause while she attempts to lick her right elbow.)
16. Guess what? I have princess pajamas! I LOOOVEEE princesses! And pajamas! I wish I could wear my pajamas ALL DAY LONG, don't you?
17. I really,really, really want to watch Hannah Montana, but my mommy says she's not ready for me to start talking like a teenager yet. What's THAT aposed to mean?
18. My favorite food is...is...anything red!
19. Guess what? My mommy loves to shop! She shops A LOT! Like EVERY DAY!
20-24. Uh-oh. I gotta go potty! (Frantic hopping up and down followed by a mad dash to the bathroom, then a few minutes of confusion while she tries to zip up her pants with her toes because apparently she's now pretending to be an orangutan.)
25. (sigh) Can I go now? After I have a cookie? Pleasepleaseplease?? It won't spoil my dinner, I PROMISE!

Ahhh... she's very wise. And so is her mother to disallow Hannah Montana!
That sounds frighteningly like conversations I have around here on a regular basis with my girls and their friends.
And I was really, really hoping you were going to do 25 things about you!
So I have these same conversations all day long - only mine's a boy who he would probably like worms.
Very cute. And it's good to know my kid isn't the only one.
Kids! Oh the fodder they provide. Running after me asking questions all day long. Mummy, why is the sky blue? Mummy, why does that license plate have only numbers? Mummy, why are those ear plugs sticking out of your ears? Mummy, why is "who can stay quiet the longest" your favorite game?
Sophie: Which of the JoBros are you gonna marry? Yes, you have to pick just one.
Awe. Sum.
That is all.
Are you sure you weren't talking to my spastic redneck 46 year old husband? Oh wait he likes worms, nevermind!
she has the cookie part right!!
This is the best 25 things about me list that I've ever read. Everyone else should just delete theirs right now because they suck in comparison. Really, I'll wait.
This is awesome
That was VERY cute! Thank you for the insights on a 4 yr old girl...priceless!
Oh my gosh. That was priceless! Thanks for getting my Tuesday started with some belly-busting laughter -- and I agree with Marinka that this was the best 25 Random Things list ever in the history of 25 Random Things lists. Ever.
This is so ridiculous Wendi, I mean, come ON. My daughter would never pause to kiss a cloud. She'd just keep talking. Don't you know four-year-olds at all?
I know 20 year old valley girls who talk exactly like that and pulled that orangutan(sp?) move on many drunk occasions.
I wish I could find a 21 year old like her. Man would I have some toys for her to play with.
I think I had the same conversation with Emma over the weekend :)
Sophie is definitely onto something with the pajamas.
Oh thank goodness I've got boys. Wait. The list would pretty much the same. Minus the princesses, pink and Hannah Montana. :) She sounds like a pistol.
She sounds like a kid from my school. I love the randomness of kids! It makes it rather funny when I have to discipline a young child. They give me that look of not really getting it and then make some sort of announcement. My favorite announcement was the time the kid told me his dad really LOVED mountain oysters.
not to diminish marinka's insightful comment about this being the "best 25 things about me" list ever (i happen to agree) - but could marinka simply be advancing her own, narrow, cat agenda? and remember, this is after she tried to banish you from her blog because of your extremely helpful "catscratch fever" suggestion. i'm just saying...
Aw, that was really cute. Had that been my son, each answer would be 2-3 paragraphs. He does not stop! And all the while his eyes are as wide as saucers. Hmm...I think he drinks Red Bull during "Center Time" instead of playing with building blocks or something.
The kiss the cloud line is the BEST.
I think my 4 year-old daughter lives next door to you.
Have you considered have an "Ask Wendi" feature?
Sophies a ham 1/2!! My daughter lists her favorite colors as: pinkish/purpleish, whitish/tannish etc. Don'y know why but they're all -ishes!
I bet you had a ball with this!
Wow, her blog post is funnier and more insightful than any of mine.
Hehe @ 'aposed' :)
My four year old is currently obsessed with 'assgroppers'. That's grasshoppers to some.
Try explaining that one at school :O
And that all happened in a period of about 10 seconds, right?
I have princess pj's too!
Ahhhhh, I LOVE four! Almost as much as pink! No, blue. No, pink. Waitwaitwait - I don't remember. Can I have another chance?
I was going to say I've done one of those pee pee dance things too. But, it is far less cute since I'm old.
Gotta love Sophie!
Pretty much that is my 4 year old except her color is purple, no wait its pink, no, no its purple.
