"Mom!" she said.
I had sneakily placed the stone on the floor behind Josh's back as he sat there totally uninterested and playing with his Happy Meal toy. I opened my empty hands to show her that I didn't have it.
"Josh!" she said even more excitedly.
I picked up the rock to show her she was right and then I asked, "Now what?" She yelled, "I win!"
I said, "But Jules, you thought I had it."
She replied in that voice of annoyance only a child can have, "Moooommmm, you get three guesses!"
Like, DUH.

I had a Groupon for a local burger joint that we discovered had closed so we found ourselves with the need for a new plan. I was naming all of the places nearby that we could go grab some dinner and Julianna was in the backseat shouting, "Moe's! Moe's!" Both Mom and I were kinda ughhh about that so I said, "What about Zaxby's?"
Julianna argued against it of course so I asked her, "Jules, do you even know what Zaxby's is?" And she said, "No."
I told her it was a place to get chicken and she replied, "Well, I'm not really a carnivore."
If that wasn't funny enough in itself, then it was really funny when Mom asked her what she had planned to get when we were going out for burgers and she kinda sheepishly chuckled and said, "A cheeseburger."

Julianna: Mom, upset not only means "to be sad about something" but it also means "to knock something over."
And there was nothing funny about that last one. It's just that this kid blows my mind every day. LOVE HER!
