THOUGHTS OF TALULAH

Marriage

2009-11-21T22:38:00.000-08:00

Mama ... I had a freaky thought!
It's really freaky.
One day I could be married!
You know, married to a man!
Wow!
That's really freaky isn't it?
I'm freaking out!
Are you freaking out?

Can I have a car?

2009-11-15T16:21:00.000-08:00

Daddy, when I'm in High School can I have a car?
Yes
Can I have an expensive car?
Hmmm!
Can I have a mermaid one?
What?
You know, one with mermaids on the front and the sides!

Look I'm getting a woman like!
See, I've got boobies now.

Red sunglasses

2009-11-02T19:09:00.001-08:00

Mama, I DO need to wear red sunglasses to do my homework.
It makes the work pink & prettier. It's so much easier to do when it's prettier!

Lulu with a butterfly and a trip to the shops

"Lulu, do you want to come to the shops with me?"

"Lipstick to go to the local shops?"
"Yes, of course I need lipstick to go to the shops ... I am woman"

Me and my sleeping Lulu

2009-06-09T21:19:00.000-07:00

Mummy, if I cut a hole in your tummy & put a wooden spoon in & put milk in & stirred & stirred & stirred really hard would it put milk back in your boobies for me?

I need to visit the city

2009-05-29T00:52:00.000-07:00

This morning on the way to the school bus, Ms Talulah said in her world weary little voice ...

Mummy, I need to get out of Kurnell.
I need to visit the city. It's been ages & I'm just dying here.
I need to visit my uncle who lives in the city.
You, know the one who is your friend.
Yes, Uncle Pol, the city guy who makes teddy bears.
He's very cool & very city. I like that!

(we live 30-40 minutes from Sydney's CBD!!!)

Talulah cuddling her chook & wearing the dress I knitted for her last week.
Scarlet is trying to take the chook from her ... hmmmm ... not happy!!!!

Lady And The Tramp II

2009-05-21T18:16:00.000-07:00

You know the thing about that movie (Lady And The Tramp II) … it makes little drops come in my eyes & they run down my face.
I don’t think I’m crying, am I?
I just feel sad inside when I watch it.

I didn't mean to run away from you ...

2009-04-14T15:56:00.000-07:00

On the way to swimming ...

Mama, I didn't mean to run away from you.
I wasn't really running fast. I was actually running slow.
In my heart I was staying with you and running slow.
I can't help it Mama. It's just these legs of mine. I can't stop them going fast. It's the way I was made, with these fast little legs.
I'm sorry my fast legs don't know how to slow down and stay with you.

Lulu has a new hair cut ...

2009-01-22T04:09:00.000-08:00

2009-01-18T02:53:00.000-08:00

Lulu, I can smell something. What is it?
Oh Daddy, why don't you shut your nose so you don't smell so much!

Hey Daddy, guess what sort of human being I am?
I’m a little darling human being!
How could you not know that?
What kind of Daddy are you?

with hands on ribs ...

Wow, mum I can feel my bones!
Wow, they're wiggling!
They're having a disco - yeah!
That's fun, isn't it?
Mum, if I was a bone could I still disco do you think?

"What happened to your manners?"
"Woops, just found them ... Please can I may have a please cup please"

2008-10-03T21:28:00.000-07:00

Hey Daddy, you & I are Movie stars aren’t we?
Yeah, maybe!
Oh no! We haven’t actually been in movies yet, have we?
No!
I suppose that means we can’t be movie stars.
No, probably not.
I guess we must be rock stars then!
Guess so!
Oh no! We don’t have violins Daddy
I suppose that means we can’t be rock stars either.
No!
We better get some violins then!

GOOD NEWS ... I AM A HUMAN

2008-09-08T20:28:00.000-07:00

Guess what Mummy? I have good news! I’m a HUMAN. Isn’t that amazing? Aren’t you glad? It’s very good news. You would be sad if I was a robot with lots of little parts wouldn’t you?

The sad thing about being a human is that you can get died & then you would see my bones & that would make you cry, wouldn’t it? Human beings get died don’t they? It’s really quite terribly upsetting isn’t it?

The three days of Loopy Lopez ...

2008-08-21T19:56:00.000-07:00

(The three days of Loopy Lopez …) Mummy, please don’t call me Talulah. My name is Loopy Lopez. From now on, I will be Loopy Lopez forever.
No Mummy, I am not Lulu. I am Loopy Lopez. You are such a silly Mummy to forget my name.
Mummy, if you call me Talulah or Lulu again I will be very cross with you. I am Loopy Lopez.
Three days later …
Mummy stop calling me Loopy Lopez or else I will get cross with you. My name is Loulabelle. I do not want to be Talulah or Lulu or Loopy. I just want to be Loulabelle.

Scarlet talks about Talulah to her doctor

2008-08-19T21:23:00.000-07:00

"Well, I have this little sister called Lulu. She talks lots and lots and lots. She talks all the time and she just doesn't stop talking and sometimes I just feel like it's just total exhaustment!"

Mummy, when I was borned was I a boy or a girl?

2008-08-19T01:47:00.000-07:00

Mummy, there is a girl in Sailor Moon called Sailor Moon. That’s funny isn’t it? They have the same name. I just can’t believe that!

Mummy, when I was borned was I a boy or a girl?

Mummy, is the proper words a penis thing or a peanut thing?

2008-08-19T01:40:00.000-07:00

Mummy, is the proper words a penis thing or a peanut thing?
Talulah, it’s called a penis.
Oh, that means I have a little penis thing called a vagina (pronounced var-guy-na).

Mummy, why are you louding?

2008-08-06T18:37:00.000-07:00

Mummy, why are you louding?
What do you mean?
Well, I was outside & I could here a terrible noise & it was very loud & then I came in & there you were louding!
(I was singing)

These pics were taken at Lulu’s recent haircut with the lovely Tricia at Olly's Hair Culture in Caringbah.

Look Daddy, it fits!!!

Mummy, I don’t have to listen to Daddy

2008-06-27T01:10:00.000-07:00

Mummy, I don’t have to listen to Daddy.
When he grows up & bees a lady like you, then I’ll listen to him.

On the way to this morning's ballet class...

2008-06-20T19:30:00.000-07:00

Mummy, Why couldn’t you have given me a pretty girls name like Rainbow or Crystal or Eyeshadow or Mermaid or Crab?

I can’t drink alcohol because it will blow out my eyeballs

2008-06-18T21:28:00.000-07:00

Mummy, I can’t drink alcohol because it will blow out my eyeballs!

Mummy, I need to go to hospital. Daddy says I’ve got a crack in my bum.

Mummy, I’m not picking my nose. It’s just that I sneeze & the sneeze puts the snots in my nose. The snots put an itch in my nose & I’ve got to get the itch out.

I really want to go back to rainbowland

2008-06-17T16:40:00.001-07:00

I really want to go back to rainbowland Mummy. I used to be in Rainbowland & my name was Rainbow & I lived in a rainbow house & everyone gave me flowers. Then I was in the woods & then someone got me borned. Then I was Lulu but I really want to go back to rainbowland & the flowers I knew before I was borned.

Do rainbow ponies do rainbow poos?

Lulu, I want to cuddle you forever

2008-06-16T07:17:00.001-07:00

Daddy “Lulu, I want to cuddle you forever”
“Oh Daddy, can’t you just cuddle me in my spare time?”

Daddy "Lulu, did you fall over?"

"No Daddy, I just tripped over on my feet."

Daddy “Lulu, you’re very clever”
Lulu “Yes, I know everything”

"Mummy, Daddy’s got to cool down. "
Why?
"He said he wanted to chill tonight."

What I never saw

2008-06-15T20:19:00.000-07:00

"Wow, that was the biggest fart I never saw!!!"

Talulah sitting in (well on actually) a bucket under the shower ...

"It's very comfy Mummy. I just wanted a little bath not a big one!"

Lulu, how did you hurt yourself?

2008-06-15T20:09:00.000-07:00

(Sobbing) Well, I was just sitting down putting all the little stones down my undies & I got up & they made me fall over & I hurt my bum.

Don’t look at us as peoples as we is spying on you

2008-06-15T01:19:00.001-07:00

(Dressed in black & wearing sunglasses) "Don’t look at us as peoples as we is spying on you. Peoples can’t see spies so you can’t look at us peoples."

Where was I when I wasn’t borned yet?

2008-06-15T01:12:00.000-07:00

"Where was I when I wasn’t borned yet?
Where was I when you got married & I wasn’t borned yet? Where was I watching your wedding from? Why wasn’t I invited to your wedding? It’s not fair. It’s not my fault I wasn’t borned yet. You should still have invited me. I could wear a dress & have fun even if I wasn’t borned. It’s really not fair Mummy!"

These pics crack me up. Talulah put the dog's lead on & drank milk out of a bowl pretending to be a puppy dog!!!
