Gems from Julia

Julia is always hilarious, and here are a couple of gems from the last few months that I don't want to forget:

One day she was telling me that they were learning about the letter 'J' at school, so we were trying to think of things that start with 'J'. As a hint, I said, "What about the guy that we talk about a lot at church...?" to which she excitedly replied, "Oh, I know! Jason! Jason starts with 'J'!"

Jason is the director of her preschool (which happens to be at our church). But just to be clear, I was going for "Jesus" as the correct answer.

Julia recently got her hair cut, and was so proud of her new 'do. She was admiring it in the mirror and asked, "Do you think Daddy will like my shiny, shiny golden hair?" Later, seemingly out of the blue, she asked me, "Mommy, can I sleep standing up?" I wasn't sure where she was going with this, so I told her that no, she probably couldn't sleep standing up, and asked why did she want to do that anyway. She quickly became upset and noted, "I need to sleep standing up so I don't mess up my hair before I go to school tomorrow!"

We saw a firetruck drive by us, and Julia asked me why they were called firetrucks. I stammered around for an answer, and she continued, "They don't carry fire, Mommy. They carry water. So, they should be called water trucks, not firetrucks. I am going to call them water trucks."
