Pixyisms
Pixy: "Can I please have a drink?"
Nana: "You mean may?"
Pixy: "Yeah, may can I please have a drink?"
------------------------------------------
After using a porta-potty, Pixy exclaimed, "That bathroom didn't work!" because it doesn't flush...
------------------------------------------
Hearing a siren, Pixy said, "Uh-oh! Somebody's hurt!"
Me: "Somebody might be hurt somewhere, but not here."
Pixy: "Yeah. Somebody's hurt in the real life."
------------------------------------------
Pixy played with an empty shampoo bottle and cup after she was washed in the bath, and she said to Nana, "You're a good girl. You let me play!"
------------------------------------------
Pixy: "You know when dogs are happy, they wag their tails? Our cat doesn't wag her tail. The cat ain't happy."
Nana: "The cat isn't a dog..."
------------------------------------------
Pixy: "What are these en-uh-ems in here for?"
Nana: "M&Ms are to eat for snack!"
Pixy: "I love en-uh-ems! I could eat them all day!"
------------------------------------------
Pixy: "Did you hear me snore in my bedroom?"
Nana: "Ha! No, I didn't. Were you snoring last night?"
Pixy: "Yeah! Because I wanted to!"
------------------------------------------
Me: "The cat saw a fly! She wants to catch it!"
Pixy: "What will she do if she catches it?"
Nana: "If she catches it, she'll eat it."
Pixy: "That's disgusting!"
Nana: "You mean may?"
Pixy: "Yeah, may can I please have a drink?"
