My hero!

Early in the morning, Sophie saw a roach. She's as scared of them as I am (yeah, I did a great job there) but instead of freaking out, she grabbed a shoe and went to TOWN. Beat the living daylights out of it, and actually managed to kill it.

She burst into my room with a HUGE grin on her face and excitedly shouted, "Mama, I killed a roach! I'm a roach killer girl!"

Now any time we mention it, she just gets all proud and says happily, "I'm a killer girl."

Ah, to be that brave...

Twin-isms

Sophie: as we passed a truck pulling a trailer, she said excitedly, "Mama, there's no horses in the horse cave!"

And Deet: he and Daddy saw a car with a bicycle on the roof, and Deet said, "Look! There's a bicycle on that car's head!"

Deet did something that made me mad, and I was talking to Erich about it as I brushed Sophie's hair.

I said, "It just makes me mad enough to spit!"

Sophie twisted around in alarm and said, "Why do you want to spit on Deet??"

Twin-isms

Sophie was reading a label on a bottle and said, "Mama, look! I reading to you! 'S, 1, 2, 3.' That spells SOPHIE!"

Later, Deet was outside with Daddy and noticed something with the letter S on it. Excitedly, he exclaimed, "Daddy! DADDY! S! S is for BOOPIE!" (Which is his best effort at pronouncing Sophie's name.)
