On being asked to explain the state of a room in which she had been playing by herself for a short while.
"I don't understand WHAT happened. Everything just went MAD!"
A pretty good excuse for a 2.5yo, tbh

She's very verbal. VERY verbal. And requires us to be too--almost every second thing she says is "Make it talk!", holding out a toy/bit of food/piece of furniture/small animal/rock/remote control/etcetc

While playing campout.HL: Are you afraid of the dark?A: No. I HUNT night reindeer in the dark.HL: Oh yeah? How do you hunt night reindeer? With a gun or a bow-and-arrow?A: With a bone arrow. You take em back to the camp, throw em on the fire, mush em up into a blanklet, then you chop the head off so you don't have a head on your blanklet.― how's life, Saturday, December 13, 2014 5:08 PM (7 months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

A (holding up a plastic Halloween Grim Reaper scythe): I'm going to go deer hunting. HL: Uh, I've heard of people going deer hunting with shotguns, or rifles, or bows and arrows, but with a scythe? What are you going to do - chop their heads off?A: I'm going to chop a big hole in their backs and that's how you go deer hunting with a scythe.

The background being that her latest imagination game to play has been "wolves". You know, there's a pack, she has to learn to hunt, there are alphas and omegas (she likes omegas better because it sounds better), there's a lot of howling and running. But I didn't realize she was still in wolf mode at the time and I certainly didn't know she had gotten married.

We're finally getting our decrepit and nonfunctioning bathroom repaired, but it is next to Ella's room and she has to sleep out in the lounge for a couple of weeks. She was disgusted to learn this."The builders CAN'T come and pull up the floor. If they do, I'll BASH them!"
And
"rRAAAAARRRRGH! RRRRRRAAAAARGH!""What are you doing?""I'm frightening the builders away."
