Quick as a tick

Sofia said, "sweep up as Quick as a tick."

What a great coinage 

Early Lucia poem

Lucia says, "the chips scratched my lips. Get it?"

The chips

Scratched

My lips

Sofia zip zoom

I ask Sofia to get the step stool so she can help me make lunch. Sofia says, "I'll be right back zip zoom." She comes back a second later with the stool and says "It's like I never even left, right?"

Music food

S says, "music is the food of something."

"Oh yeah? Food for what?," I ask.

"For souls."

Eyes wide I ask, "Where did you get that idea?"

"From you."

Amazing what she picks up.

Nuances

Sofia said, "No flaunting, sissy."

Lucia said, "I'm not flaunting, sissy, I'm taunting!"

Sofia says dad lucia's flaunting

Lucia no flaunting

Lucia says, I'm not flaunting! I'm taunting!

Mysterious

Sofia says i'm learning to be mysterious. I asked her what she means. She says I'm learning to climb things and not cry when I fall and get hurt.
