32. Tillie Tuesday July 27, 2021

It’s just another Tillie Tuesday,

I wish it were a snooze day,

But it’s my news day,

And just another Tillie Tuesday.

Tillie, on sleep

“I actually woke myself up. I actually got bored in dreamland so I just woke myself up.”

Tillie, on Pokémon Go expertise

Me: I caught a new type of species. I didn’t know it could evolve!

Tillie: I knew that when I was like six years old.

Me: Why, why didn’t you tell me!?

Tillie: Okay. You tell me everything you don’t know about Pokémon Go and I will give you all the information.

Tillie, on the social dynamic of creation

Tillie: Are you pulling out weeds?

Me: Yes.

Tillie: Do weeds want to be like the pretty plants so we don’t kill them?

Tillie, on cross examining the witness

Tillie: Mommy, you said your whole entire body is ticklish, right?

Jeanne: Yes.

Tillie: Even your hair?

Jeanne: Maybe not my hair.

Tillie: Then it’s not your whole entire body is it?

Jeanne: You’re right.

Tillie: Did I outsmart you, Mommy?

Tillie, thoughts on alternatives

Tillie: I’m cold. (She was in the house in just her swimsuit).

Me: Do you think you should put on some dry clothes?

Tillie: Or I could use like 1200 napkins.

Tillie, on photo shoots

Tillie: Let’s take a selfie, Mother

Tillie: You look a little creepy. Let’s take it again.

*click

Tillie: That’s much better.

*pause

Tillie: Actually, you still look creepy but I was trying to be nice.

Tillie, on a parental suggestion to take a break from swimming

“Do you even know how to sunbathe unicorn style? It’s probably too hard for adults.”
