Camille Quotes

It's hard to properly explain Camille.  She's a firecracker of energy, brains, and weirdness, almost always happy, but driven to swift tears of wrath if her brothers hurt her tender feelings.  (Fortunately they love her so much this rarely happens.)  She's a ton of fun, and she's frequently hilarious.  Here are a few examples...


Driving past a construction site where they're building a new Starbucks, she asked me, "Do construction workers have wives?"  Why does she want to know???  This is especially worrisome because Camille hasn't met a man yet that she doesn't have a crush on.  Some of her current favorites are her Uncle Jason, Bentley's friends Aaron and Addison (and if Addison isn't around, his little brother Ivan), Br. Snow, an older gentleman at church, and one of the Octonauts (I can't keep them straight, but I think it's Captain Barnacles?  She likes him because, "he's the leader").

She loves her Daddy a lot, too

As we were driving to the library, out of the blue she suddenly asked, "Wouldn't it be funny if Jupiter was called Stupider?"

And when we flew to Seattle, she casually mentioned to me, "If she (the flight attendant) sees me sleeping and she thinks I'm dead, then just tell her that I'm sleeping, okay?"  What???  WHAT???  Who would think that????

She also insisted she needed one of those neck pillows when we were traveling, too.

She's such a nut.

And I have learned from happy experience that there is no better feeling in the world than walking with her and holding her hand as she skips along beside you.  All feels right in the world then.
