Funny phraseology

Avery:

"Sophie, turn that frown upside down!" (Sophie had been crying for a while when Avery bent over and told her this in passing.)

Avery: Mom, does God make all this stuff? Like trees and grass and corn and stuff?
Mom: Yes, he has made it all for us.
Avery: Yeah, but does he even make the planet?
Mom: Yes, he even made the planets.
Avery: Man, he must be sweating all the time!

Avery: Dad, does a C look like an H?
Dad: No, a C doesn't look like an H.
Avery: No, I mean like does a real C look like an H?
Dad: No, I don't know what you mean. A C never looks like an H.
Avery: Oh, yeah. Okay. I just meant a real one.
I think this conversation fizzled out after this comment as I didn't hear any response from John. I don't think he probably knew what else to say.

"Mom, I love you to the moon and the stars and the planets".

Avery: What do doctors do?
Mom: You know that doctors help us to get better if we're feeling sick. They know all about how our bodies work and what to do to fix them if we're sick.
Avery: Do they even know what sick dogs look like?
Mom: (short pause) Um, not all doctors. Just doctors called Veterinarians who take care of animals and not people.
Avery: "Mom, I made this trampoline for dogs that are sick at day care. It's one sick trampoline."

Avery: Dad, you know what I call goose bumps?
Dad: No, what do you call them?
Avery: I call them goose pimps.

Avery: Mom, why do you have your ears appeared (pierced)?

Avery: Grandma, who was my mommy before, when she lived with you at your house?

Avery: Grandma, did you know I have this sister in Des Moines and I go to visit her sometimes?
To clear the air on this one...no, she doesn't have a sister in Des Moines. She sometimes talks about made-up friends or people. Don't know where she comes up with them, but it's sure interesting.

Avery: Mom, I didn't cut my hair. It actually flew from Grandma's house's garbage can into my can! I don't even know how it did that.
She finally told the truth after several strings of lies about flying hair. There was a giant piece of her hair laying in the garbage can. I had to take all of her scissors away as punishment. Too funny!

Avery: Mom, I am not even going to talk if you don't listen.
(I was in the car, in a hurry probably answering all of her questions with an "uh huh, uh huh, yep") Can't fool her.

I have been trying to teach Avery how to tie her shoes for months now. We don't seem to get anywhere. One day a few weeks ago, Avery said after day care, "Mom, watch this". She proceeded to tie her shoe in a matter of seconds, no mistakes. I was in awe and shock and asked her how she learned how to do this in one day. She said "Korrinn taught me". Korrinn is five. I wish I was there that day to see how it all happened. Amazing.

"Dad, are you going to transform yourself into a, a, a booger?"
She was dead serious on this one. I don't know if she meant to say something else and the word booger just came out, but it was sure funny.

Avery: "Mom, I want a cavity."
Mom: Remember what a cavity is?
Avery: Oh, man. I mean a vitamin!
