Katie: (while dishing up her dinner) I have stars stuck in my head.
That was it. We were supposed to understand this.

Katie: You know how they have those shows on HGTV where they take brand new furniture and beat it up to make it look rustic and old?
Me: Yes.
Katie: Well, I saw something that showed people taking cheap old things and making them look fancy. Most of it involved gold paint. They took an old brick and painted it gold and then used it as a bookend.
Me: Well, that kind of sounds stupid. (Katie then gave me a strange look)
Me: Oh, did you think that was a good thing to do?
Katie: Well it looked just like a gold brick.
Me: People will know it is not real.
Katie: No, it was an old beat up brick with missing chunks.
Me: Katie please tell me that you don’t think that gold comes out of the ground in bricks.
Katie: No, I don’t think that. They melt it right?
Me: So why would someone have a gold brick with missing chunks?
Katie: I don’t know I just thought it was cool.

Sam: Who is that woman going into their brains?
Katie: She’s the girl that’s just a flap of skin.

Katie: Did you know that if you cut the whiskers off of a cat that it will run around disoriented for a couple of weeks.
Sam: If you cut off the whiskers?
Katie: Yes, but don’t do that.
Sam: Don’t do that to Mistletoe? (our cat)
Me: Don’t do that to any cat. It is mean.
Katie: Yeah. It is mean but it is also supposed to be quite comical.
Katie: But don’t do that.
Sam: Don’t cut the whiskers off of a cat?
Katie: Yes Sam.

Katie: Like how I am up before 1:00?
Scot: The bar is set low.
Katie: I was up until 4:00 AM too.
Me: Why were you up that late?
Scot: Is that because you could not fall asleep after getting up at the crack of noon yesterday?
Katie: Well, I learned in IB Psych that the Circadian clock is actually 25 hours and that explains everything. Doesn’t it?
Let me add that she is wearing a nice black and gold sparkly shirt, Mickey Mouse pajama pants and magenta flats with a bow on the toe.

Scot and I are sitting on the deck and Katie walks out with two balls of yarn in her hands.
Katie: I just calculated that since these balls are 2 5/8″ across, when they are half used they will be 2 1/16″ across.
Scot: Do you have pointy ears?

Katie: I need some more clear nail polish. I am out. I don’t see any point in using it on fingernails, but it is great to use for other things.

One day in an abandoned parking lot:
Scot took Katie out for the second time to drive in circles around a building. Katie was driving along and then stopped the car and when I say stopped, I really mean stomped on the brake really hard causing Scot to have his third heart attack in a 20 minute period. She then sneezed and started driving again. I would hate to be following behind her on the road when she happens to pass by some pollen.

Katie went outside to pick the first ripe strawberry of the season, then came back in a few minutes later and asked, “Wait how are you supposed to pick it?” Laughing ensued and then I said, “Hold onto the stem and pull.”

Katie: I wish there was a spout that could attach to anything, where the spout is its own entity.
