My funny girls

Coraisms:
"I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I want be an ice-skater, I want to be a pirate, and I want to be an engineer. That's three things and I don't know if I can do three things."

"I know how to spell 'Bible.' B-I-N-G-O!"

Cora the Negotiator, at bedtime: "Dad, this is the deal. If you don't stop playing the piano, Mummy will have to read to me, OK?"

Violetism: I drove Genia home from Pioneer Clubs, while John took Stace and Cora. When Genia got in, Violet said cheerfully, :"Hello, Agggumm!"
Of course, Genia knows Violet very well, and knows that in Violet-speak, that means cat, or other small animal. She said playfully, "Don't call me Aggum!"
Violet laughed and repeated herself.

The next morning, I asked Violet, "What did you call Miss Genia last night?"
She laughed and yelled, "Aggum!"
So she knew what she was doing, remembered doing it, and was trying to be funny.

Violet and Cora also like to tell "knock knock" jokes.
Here's a frequent offering from Vi: Knock knock, who's there!
(We then repeat, "Who's there?")
Vi: Chicken
Us: Chicken who?
Vi: Cock a doodle do! (Followed by a big laugh.) (This is funny stuff, you see.)

EDITED TO ADD: I've recently learned that I misheard Cora when she said what she wants to be when she grows up. She wants to be a pi-LOT, not a pi-rate. Oops. A pilot, for a little girl who flies as much as Cora Rose, makes a lot more sense, don't you think? Alas, not as funny, though.
