Kid Quotes of the day, With color commentary

I post quick “Kid Quotes of the Day” on Facebook all the time, but from time to time I feel the need to move them here for posterity. Here are a few months of them, in chronological order:

April 19th 2010:
"Daddy, could you turn it all the way up please?" There’s no accounting for taste as this was regarding the "Free to be You and Me" theme song. That being said, I can appreciate her desire to rock out to something despite how dated it is. I guess we rocked out to Zeppelin which was a bit before our time.

April 20th 2010:
“I need 50 dollars.” As heard while she was digging around in my wallet. I hope that doesn’t stick. The thing that really got me was the specificity of her statement. Not, “some money,” or “some of those”, but “I need $50”. Which really made me wonder does she owe a bookie?”

April 26th 2010:
This was one of her first attempts at deception. “My doll wants to watch Babies. Can she watch Babies?” Note: Anya calls cartoons “Babies”. Probably the only word she uses for something that isn’t technically correct. This is because her shows when she was very little were all real babies crawling and playing and doing educational things. So we called her TV “watching babies”. Once we transitioned to Dora the Explorer, we never told her that all TV wasn’t “Babies”.

May 5th 2010:
As heard while eating my salmon wasabi wrap at World Wraps) “It’s a little bit spicy but I like it!” Two things to point out here. First she eats spicy food, which is pretty cool. Second is her use of the term “Little bit”. She uses this all the time. “I fell, just a little bit.” “I got hurt just a little bit.” “I want to do that for a little bit of whiles.”

May 10th 2010:
As overheard in a conversation with her buddy Liam whom we were babysitting: "You can stay in the guest room tonight." Maybe you had to be there. It's just a very weird thing to hear a two 1/2 year old say. I expected her to say, “Here’s your key, help yourself to anything in the fridge…”

May 17th 2010:
Said while playing with 3 balls at the local trampoline. “That's a daddy ball. It goes to work. That's a baby ball it rans (sic). That's a momma ball, it eats chocolate.” A couple things to point out: 1. My kid is hilarious 2. She loves playing on Brian and Monica’s trampoline down the street. 3. She has taken to a Goldie Locks-esque method of classifying the world. When I put her down at night and wrap her up tight, I used to ask, “Do you want me to wrap you up like a big burrito or a little burrito?” Now she says, “Wrap me up like a Daddy burrito…no. Like a Sister burrito!”.

May 22nd 2010:
Uttered whilst spitting out a strawberry at the Odievich’s home: "Ick. That had some cake on it." A couple things: The kid is consistently thumbs down on the chocolate. Prefers fruits. We’re very proud.

May 28th 2010:
Upon waking up from her nap she exclaimed: “I fell awake.”

May 30th 2010:
Remembering how cool I thought the experience as a child, I decide to take Anya through a car wash. After paying for the supreme wash package, I come to find the thing’s broken. I proceeded to get rather annoyed. Anya said, “Daddy, sometimes car washes don't work. Because people use them. And then they run out. Maybe we can go to the story and buy some more and fix the car wash.”
I think my favorite part of the conversation was that was talking down to me...that sort of parental tone one takes when explaining why it rains on birthdays or something.
