From the Mouth of Babes... Part II

Scene: a captive audience in the family car

P: Actually, I'm going to open a restaurant called Unicorn Rainbow Valley restaurant. After you eat you get to go see and ride the unicorns.
Dad: Can I eat a unicorn burger there?
P: No
G: She had to kill one and it has pink rainbow icing.

Conclusion: That name is never going to fit on all of our merch.


Scene: In the car

Grace: My friend sleeps at a restaurant.

Conclusion: Find a new daycare


Scene: Potentially still in the car (we get a lot of good material this way as you can see!)

P: Mom, do you know what horses hair smells like?
Mom: No, what?
P: Broccoli

Conclusion: another 'L' in loss column for broccoli


Scene: Grandma & Grandpa's house

P: Grandpa can never go back to work, he's untired.

Conclusion: Part of this statement is true.


Scene: Mom's birthday last month

Dad: How young is mommy today?
P: Twenty nineteen
Mom: Can you even count that high?
P: No

Conclusion: I'm even older than I thought.


Scene: In the car on the way home from school on a sunny day.

Mom: what was your favorite thing at school today?
P: Playing outside with the boys.
Mom: (said hopefully) What did you play soccer?
G: No, we played fight but I didn't hurt anybody.

Conclusion: Start weight and resistance training so fights at school with the boys are more easily won.

Scene: In the car, yet again. It's so much harder for them to run away from the conversations when they are strapped into their car seats via a 5 point harness system.

G: We cuddled up with the boys today (outside)
Mom: How did you do that?
G: We put our heads together and our arms around each other
Mom: You mean huddle up?
G: No, cuddle up.

Conclusion: Crisis averted, chastity belt ordered on Amazon.

From the mouth of babes...

I thought this post might be a good place to jump back into blogging which I'm hoping will be much more regular in 2012. I know my two readers would really appreciate that! Hi mom and dad!

From the mouth of babes...

Recently I decided to start writing down all the crazy things the girls have been saying because some of these are too good to be true!

Scene: G and Me at the dinner table

G: "You know one day I had a grape in my chocolate milk."
Mom: "Who put it there?"
G: "Me."


Scene: Before dinner, in the kitchen

G: "Rowan I have a great idea and if it's good we can use it."


Scene: The big girls are learning and wanting to use big/complex words more and more. Most recently it was the word clever, which they mastered pretty quickly. This is what P said as she tried to use a new word.

P: "That hill is responsible."


Scene: At the dinner table

G: "Broccoli is cooked up grass."


Scene: Me talking to P trying to assure her that everything would be fine.

Mom: "Honey, just trust me it'll be okay."
P: "Mommy, I do NOT trust you!"

More to come...guaranteed!
