"I have a boogy!"
- all the time (April and May).  Any time even a threat of a runny nose creeps up, Kate needs a tissue, so in April and May when a persistent little cold left Kate with a bit of a runny nose, we heard this phrase a lot.  And went through a lot of tissues (whether or not we could see any evidence!)

"I need to go potty!"
