46 More Unforgettable Quotes from My Daughter [Part 2]

46 More Unforgettable Quotes from My Daughter [Part 2]Hello, friends!  I hope you enjoyed part 1 of the quotes from my daughter.  Those quotes were from when she was between ages 2 through 4.

It’s time to share another batch of lines that struck me as worthwhile to jot down over the years.

These quotes from Faith are from when she was age 5 up until now (age 9).

During these goofy times with the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic, a lot of things are out of whack from what we’re used to.  Many folks are finding themselves in self-isolation or lockdown, unemployed, scared of the unknown, or worrying about money.

Although the recent stimulus check going out in the U.S. can provide a little bit of help (you can the status of yours here), it’s probably only going to be a small band-aid for many.

My thought in sharing these is solely to give you a chance to get away from the bad news for a quick minute. Hopefully, this will give you a chuckle or even make your day just a little bit brighter.

And with that, I hope you enjoy some more unforgettable quotes from my insane daughter …

  1. These are great. IMO, girls are much nicer at this age. Boys are too confrontational already. I am not ready for the teenage years.

    1. Haha, don’t worry – I think the roles will actually reverse in a few years. My guess is that the teenage years are when it will be drama, screaming, and tears in our household while your son will just rebel and do his own thing. I’ll probably just move in with you guys for a few years then! 😉

  2. How fun that you’ve preserved these moments for your family to laugh about in the future! In no particular order, I laughed out loud at: 3, 10, 11, 13, 14, 19, 24, 26 and 42 and of those, 14 and 19 were my loudest-laugh-faves. ? Someday, Faith will look back on this collection with so much gratitude! What a beautiful and delightful gift to bestow!

    1. Thanks, Damon – it’s funny how something minor I started doing has morphed into something that’ll hopefully bring a smile to her face in the future. In the meantime, I’m glad it was able to bring a smile to you as well! 🙂
