eating a lot of half-eaten fruit.
having a shoe closet full of nothing but flip flops and vans.
fashioning PJ pants to look like pants.

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!".
