New York State of Mind

Aoki: Mama, when you're in New York, make sure you don't forget to eat dinner. Papa won't be around to cook for you. Okay?

Wink, Wink!

Aoki: if I wink like this, you will know whatever I'm saying isn't very serious.

Ski Week

Aoki: What's this Winter Break thing called again?
Me: Ski Week. We didn't have Ski Week when I was a kid.
Aoki: Well, that's because the world was a really different place, way back then.

It's a Hard Knock Life!

Me: Aoki, I need you to clean up your mess before you move on to the next project.
Aoki: I love you, Miss Hannigan!

I Pounded That Thing!

"Mama, today can you please make me two waffles? Yesterday you only made me one, and man I pounded that thing!"

Whaaaa?

Half Birthday

Aoki ran into our room at 6:45 this morning, exclaiming "it's my half birthday! Do I get a sundae for breakfast?"

Who told her she gets to celebrate half birthdays?
