It's in the eyes of the beholder, sweetie

Daddy was using the computer.  Pia approaches:

Pia: Daddy...

Daddy: Yes?

Pia: You're not pretty.

Pia's Prayer 2

On her birthday.

Pia: Lord thank you that I am 6 years old. Thank you for keeping me safe from the bad children.  I pray that I will have a wobbly tooth.

Heart check

Pia gets a toy doctor's kit for her birthday:

Pia: (with her plastic stethoscope round her neck) Daddy, open your mouth. I will get your heart.

Daddy: You will get my heart?

Pia: I didn't say 'get'. I said 'Open your mouth and I will check your heart'

Vowels for idiots

The family was playing Boggle.  Not very successfully -- it was hard for young children to find +words, so Daddy gave tips to the children on how to find words more effectively:

Daddy: Look around the vowels. Do you know what vowels are?

Dominic: A-E-I-O-U

Pia: Daddy, if you have no brain you will think that vowels are A-N-G-T-X

Illegible Spoken Words

Dominic and Daddy in the kitchen doing homework.  Dominic's handwriting needs improvement. He mumbled something. Daddy did not quite get what the words were:

Daddy: What did you say Dominic?

Dominic: (annoyed) Daddy, you can understand me clearly. When I say words, it's not like when I write words and you cannot understand my writing.

Sigh. In other words, Daddy should have understood what was said because Dominic could not have possibly said the words illegibly.

Tadah!

Sammy gets off a dining chair and promptly falls on his bum. 

Sammy: (raising both hands in the air) Tadah!

Thick

Daddy holds two books in front of Pia:

Daddy: Which one is thicker?

Pia: (Instantly points to one) This one!

Daddy: Why?

Pia: What is 'thick'?
