Clare Quotes - 6 year old edition

Another year has passed, so it's time to document some of my favorite Clare quotes.  She never disappoints!

Me:  Eating green olives is like eating salt out of jar.
Clare:  Mmmm, I might actually like that.

"First things first, and second things second." True

"I miss Buddy Holly." (He is a Lubbock native singer who died in 1959.  That's a a whole 49 years before she was even born, but still she misses him)

"You know the best kind of throw up? It's when just a little bit goes in your mouth and you can just swallow it back." (Blech...)


"I pretended I was an angel getting married and I was God's daughter and a Saint. I rode a unicorn with silver shiny fur, flowers in her hair, and golden hooves."

Clare: We're writing our own stories in school. Mine has Mary, Dan, and Fart-o. 
Me: Fart-o?
Clare: Yeah, Fart-o is a hippo that farts a lot.
(In the story, the three of them go to the beach to swim, but all the other people leave because Farto farted too much.  The solution was to ask Farto to stop farting, and all the people came back to the beach!  And they all lived happily ever after)

"Daddy have you never seen the little mermaid before, because you are asking me a lot of questions."

Asked while people were washing dishes in the sink.  "Could I have some drinking temperature water?"

And my absolute favorite of the year:
"It's not fair that Olivia gets to stick her tongue out all the time and we can't."
Life is tough, sweetheart.....
