Little Pip-Speaks: Volume 37

Fin basically wrote this installment's intro, when I was asking them random conversation starter questions recently:

 

Fin: Ooh you should ask us "What do you like most about kids being young?" If I was a grown up I would say "How funny they are." Because they say stuff wrong and it’s hilarious. 

 

Too true, Finney girl.

 

Pip-speak #1:  
Piper {on cinnamon donuts}: They taste like Joann fabrics.

Pip-speak #2:  

Piper: I have an idea!
Miller: You ALWAYS have an idea.
Piper: That’s because I’m an idea person. 

 

Pip-speak #3: 
Mama: Did Miller put his sunglasses in the freezer?
Piper: Yep. He wanted to make them cooler!

Pip-speak #4: 
Mama: I need to check my phone and make sure I have enough storage.
Piper: I though you had extra storage?
Mama: I do- but I take a LOT of pictures
Piper: Oh- so it’s extra storage for boring moms but it’s just regular storage for awesome moms?
 

Pip-speak #5: 
Piper {in the car, working on a drawing}: “How do you spell handzitizer?”

 

Pip-speak #6:  

Fin: I want to use dry shampoo like you, Piper.
Piper: You can’t. Your hair is clean. Mine is clean-ish

 

Pip-speak #7: 
Piper {on Fin’s cheerleading routine}: That was WAY more boring than last year. {pause} What? Still good though!
 

Pip-speak #8: 
Piper {on her basketball team}: Do you know why we’re called the chicken wings? On our first practice we were gonna do “hands in” but then we decided elbows was safer, and then we thought it looked like chicken wings so it just stuck. 

Pip-speak #9:  

Piper: Sometimes I get new freckles from chocolate.

Pip-speak #10:  

Daddy: I didn’t get fired I got laid off.
Piper: Is that like half firing you? Like they kinda wanted you, but mostly didn’t?

 

Pip-speak #11:  

Mama: Aw man, the stain isn’t coming out of this pillowcase.
Piper: Well at least you don’t know what happened so you don’t have a kid to be mad at.

 

Pip-speak #12: 
Mama: As long as someone’s teaching you about Jesus.
Piper: I’m being teached about Jesus in my bible study.
Mama: Teached?
Piper: Maybe I should be teached in learning.

Pip-speak #13:  

Piper: I always thought Swedish fish was like “sweet…ISH” fish, but it’s “Swedish” like the world.

Pip-speak #14:  

Piper {on voicemails}: I am VERY bad at making recalls.
