Funny things Ella has said lately
November 6th, 2009
Ella is around 2 1/2 right now and she’s been talking for quite a while now. She wakes up talking, and doesn’t really stop until she goes to bed. But now she really seems to be putting things together and thinking about things – and it’s pretty funny. So because I have no memory and will soon forget all these funny things she’s said lately, and hopefully the relatives will enjoy … here are a few snippets straight from Ella’s mouth:
- (Walking into room holding a leaf) “Look mommy I found a feather from the fall.”
- (On a drive in the morning, pointing to the moon) “The moon is following us and it’s not even in a car!”
- When Ella wanted a snack from me the other day, I asked her to say the magic word. She responded “Abra cadabra?”
- (Holding on to stairway rail) “Look daddy. I can hold the branch, like a big girl”
- (In conversation with 5-year-old neighbor girl) Ella holds up her shirts and says “This is my belly. I like to be naked baby.” (This is what we call her when she’s constantly taking off her clothes at home.) She added this to the conversation “I like to stick my face in my drink and blow bubbles.” The other girl asked “Doesn’t your nose get in it?” Ella replied, “yeah, sometimes.” Good conversation!
- (Speaking with her grandpa on the phone) “I’m having lunch with your friend Grandma!”
- (I normally call Ella pumpkin, but around Halloween time, when her costume was actually a pumpkin, I would get this response) “I’m not a pumpkin today. I’m a pumpkin for Halloween. Today I’m Ella Doucette.”

What a sweet angel baby from heaven!
Erin, those are wonderful stories — do you mind if I use them in Funny Kids and Humor Helps and Kidwarmers? I just love them — Two of the stories I have heard several times over the past 22 years — the Funny Kids column is 22 years old! The ones about “magic word” and “moon following” I’ve received from at least half a dozen parents — there’s probably about a dozen stories like that that pop up over and over again! Great minds… I always say!
Too cute! Jeff’s favorite is the pumpkin named Ella Doucette. My favorite is grandpa’s friend grandma.
