First, get a box...

Patrick: Maddie, what are you doing?
Maddie: I'm playing homeless.
Patrick: You're pretending to be homeless? That's not very fun.
Maddie: I'm bored, I'll play anything.

Witness for the Prosecution

Maureen: We played jury this year to find out who drew on the hockey table. We decided is was [a cousin] but we never knew for sure. We decided if it had been Maddie she would have drawn hearts and peace signs instead of just scribbling.
Maddie: Yeah. I would have drawn hearts.

So Mean!

MaShell: Maddie, PLEASE go see your sisters. Go!

Dada: Go Madeline! Go to your room!

Madeline walking with head slunk down to hear room: Mean Momma! Mean Dada!

Madeline talking to her sisters: Momma Mean! Dada Mean! Mean Momma! Mean Dada!!

BAD Baby!

When Madeline inevitably destroys a block castle built by her big sisters or colors all over their drawings, Caroline and Maureen have been calling her "bad baby." We tried to get them to stop but Madeline keeps repeating it to the point that it's become her mantra.

Madeline: Bad Baby Bad Baby Bad Baby

MaShell, just joking: Maddie, say, "Bad Da-da"

Madeline: Bad Momma

And busted!

Miiiiiinnnne!

Madeline, every very day pretty much all day: Miiiinnnne! Mine ball! Mine ball! Miiiiinnnnne. Un-uh. Milk?

Maddie's First Fight!

Maddie (pulling on Maureen's pink socks): Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Maureen: What? What is she doing? Maddie STOP!!

Maddie: Myyyyyyy ocks!! Myyyyyyyy ocks!! (Translation: MY SOCKS!!)

I then ran upstairs, grabbed a pair of pink socks for Maddie and put them on her. She immediately stopped screaming and started smiling. She just wanted her pink socks!

Madeline Gets All Sassy

Patrick (pointing): Madeline, get OUT of the kitchen

Patrick (pointing again): Madeline, I said get OUT of the kitchen. Go.

Madeline: unh-uh
