Rori "isms" Part 2

I've been trying to use this blog as a way to keep a record of things in our family, so here is Rori "isms"-part 2.  Rori is a bit of wild card.  We are never quite sure what she is going to say and to whom she might say it, but she is 3 and very cute, so who could find fault with her?

Lately she's been obsessed with having pets. She loves my parents' birds, as well as Mark's parents' dogs.  She really loves Louie (a Jack Russell terrier) and Chloe (a rat terrier), as well as Mai Mai, CJ, and Berkeley (the cockatiels).  She told me the other day that she was going to get a baby crocodile.  Interesting choice!  Then she said it's name would be LaLa.  I asked her why it would be LaLa and she said, "Isn't that a good name?"  I had to say yes.  Apparently LaLa's dad is going to live in the bathtub as well.  His name is Dave.  (sidenote: Rori's mother had imaginary cats and dogs that lived in the bathtub)  Now, she named all of her pets for me the other day:  Guinea pig, Dog, Cat, 2 Crocodiles.

She has also started to tell jokes.  Last night we were driving home in the van and she began a short comedy routine.  See the transcript below:

Rori: Knock Knock
Dad:Who's there?
Rori: Frog
Dad: Frog who?
Rori: Why did the frog have to go to the doctor?
Dad: Why?
Rori: Because he wasn't hopping very well

Repeat with Banana-because he wasn't peeling very well
Repeat with Giraffe-because he wasn't eating very well
Repeat with Lion-because he wasn't roaring very well
Repeat with Zebra-because he wasn't moving his tail very well
Repeat with Panda-because he wasn't eating very well
Repeat with ?-we can't remember now :)

Her format was very consistent. I'm sensing a theme here!
