A few Ellen-isms worth noting for posterity:

Mom! That red car doesn't have a top!
Yes, right. What are those called?
Canoes!

(before-meal prayer from school)
God made the Sun
And God made me
And God made the baby bumblebee
Buzz, buzz, buzz
Thank you, God
Oh, man! (amen)

Erik and I were talking about his Dad's upcoming trip to Scotland - golf at St. Andrew's, tee times set up, etc. I hear Ellen whisper ..."Tea parties for the boys?"
It took me a minute to figure it out, then I explained that a tee time is part of the schedule for when to start your game of golf.
"Well, it sounds like the time you start drinking tea. "

Last Sunday morning, Ellen ran down the hall into our room at 6:47am for the normal morning routine of potty / change clothes / brush hair / parents drag themselves out of bed. As she swung her feet sitting on the potty she said, "Well, mom - what would you like to do today? You can choose!"
She later offered me my choices ...
"You can go to the museum, or the Dime Store, or the toy store. Which do you pick?" 
Well, Ellen, those sound like places you would like to visit.
"Well, they are. But you can pick one!"
(She ended up going to the Zoo with Erik for a daddy-daughter date, which is exactly what I would have picked). 

Can I have some O-Joe with my breakfast? (orange juice)

Mom ... does my hair look like a hot mess this morning? (Well, yes, yes it does. Typical.)

Ellen was looking at some old pictures and saw her baby board books and wanted to get them out again. She pulled out "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?" and "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you Hear?" We hadn't read them in forever (and I found an old video of her reading both of them at 22 months - omg, so cute - and omg, where did my sweet baby go?) - and she helped read them. A lion roaring in my ear, a flamingo fluting in my ear, a "he-hawk" yelping in my ear ...
He-hawk?
Oh, yeah, peacock.
