Some more Tempe-isms

Watching tv with Mom. "I feel sad..."
(Mom) "Why, sweetie?"
"We don't have a doggy..."

[Several days later] Watching "Pinnochio" with Dad. "I wish I had a kitty cat."

After hearing me leave a message on my sister-in-law's phone inviting her over: "Rachel gonna bring the girls [cousins Maddy and Libby] over to play?"

Reproving her sometimes-not-so-nice mother: "You need to be nice to other people, Mom."

Grocery shopping with Mommy before Uncle Tyler comes to spend the weekend: "We gonna share the eggs with Uncle Tyler?"

Typical two-year-old response to my demands for obedience: "No, Mom! You be-have! I not have! I Tempe Joanney!"
