So, throughout our days, my girls come up with some real doozies! They are never short of topics to discuss, questions to pose or comments to proudly professed. They are picking up on intonation of voices around them and certain slang is starting to come through in their conversations as well. Today they were full of it!
Just a sampling of what I was treated to tonight en route to gymnastics:
Riley: Mom, how old are you?
Me: 35
Riley: And what comes next, 36?
Me: Yes
Maya: And what is next? 37 and 38 and 39?
Me: Yes
Riley: And what comes after 40, when you are old?!?
Me: Gee, thanks!
Maya: After 40 comes 100 when you can really cute loose and party!
While making dinner the girls were playing with their Little People and Maya couldn't find one of her dolls.
Me: Maya, what is wrong?
Maya: I can't find the mommy doll.
Me: Is it in the toy room?
Maya: Yes, Riley is looking for it. She's a good toy finder. Almost like you
Me: That's nice.
Riley (as she climbed the stairs): I found the daddy doll
Me: Where is the mommy doll?
Maya (in total disgust): Probably on a toy-mommy vacation
Teagan: WHAT FOR??!?
And then they topped themselves during dinner as I was making up a little song to try and get them to eat:
Maya: Boy mom, you are a good singer
Me: Thanks buddy.
Riley: And you are a really, I mean REALLY, great drinker
What kids say is one thing, what we hear them say is another. They are becoming little people with a sense of humor. While maybe not flattered by all they had to say tonight at my expense, I am amused by the logic they put together and how they express themselves. I guess after they go to bed I'll take my old, partying, drinking self to the couch and have a mommy vacation.
