Qute Quotes

Mila had a sore leg and couldn't walk properly. As I tucked her into bed tonight she said "No more disco" because she couldn't dance anymore.
Today Mila referred to my bra as a top with boobs
Mila had a little plumbers crack showing so I tickled it and she responded with "don't touch my butt it's stinky!"
Sex ed according to Mila. "Boys have a peanut on their butt".
We were at dinner discussing who was messy, Mila looked at Anton and said, "you're a little bit messy Daddy", then she turned to June and said "June, you're a hot mess!".
Mila is beginning to read, so she is constantly asking how to spell the things in her surroundings. The other day she was sitting on Anton's lap, she poked him in the tummy and asked "Daddy, how do you spell chubby?"
Mila: "When I grow up I want to have a big, big, big nose!" This girl sets some high goals for herself.
When Mila is wowed by something she says "Holy Crab!!"
Mila. "Well, the party is over, I tinkled in the pool!"
