Polly: (Bing Crosby song comes on the radio) Is this an old-fashioned song? It sounds like it. Back then they had a lot of trumpets.

Polly: Why do we have to get molluscum and eczema and warts and sunburns and stuff? Why does it have to be in life?

Me: As long as you promise to stay this cute forever.

Polly: We can’t do that! It’s just our body, we can’t stop it.

.

Polly: I’ve never seen grass growing in rocks before. Me: why do you think it grows? Polly: I don’t know. To make the world soft?

.

Polly: (Inspecting algae on rocks in a creek) "is that waterbug snot? It's really slippery."

Polly: I had a dream about a really dirty bathroom in like the 90s or 80s? It was really dirty and really small.

Polly: You have a long, long mind.

Me: Um... thanks?

Polly: You DO have a long long mind. ’Cause your mind thinks in your brain.

Me: Do you want to get in the pool?

Polly: No, I intend to have ice cream.

Pollyisms:

Polly: Mama? When is it going to be tomorrow?
