It's amazing what our little humans think they can get away with…or what they think they can get past our sleep deprived minds. My youngest has a sugar filled carrot that she has been parading around the house. I'm not sure where she got it from or when…but it's obvious that it's HERS.
"I want alone time".
"Sure Kaitlyn, go for it", this is not unusual for my daughter. She likes to play alone in her room or quietly read a book. I embrace every. single. second. of. it! But instead of going straight to her room, she makes a detour to her special little carrot.
"Um, WHAT are you doing?"
"It's ok Mom, I won't eat the candy. I'll just LOOK at it".
Sure you won't…just like I won't touch that cheesecake in our fridge.
Our local grocery store is right next to the Police Department. My children know this because I threaten to "turn them in" when they are acting up. This is almost on a daily basis so I no longer have to point it out to them. During a recent trip, I had my son with me…he is a perfect angel when he is away from his sisters.
As we drove by the Police Department my son proceeded to ask, "Mom, is there a judge in the Police building?"
Honestly, I haven't had a lot of experience with the LAW. My one and only experience was when I was providing military honors to a fallen Airman. The young man's father was a policeman and he kindly offered his station locker rooms for us to change in.
"Maybe" I responded.
"Is Judge Judy there?"
Huh? When does this kid watch Judge Judy?! I am now convinced this kid watches too much tv.
My three-year-old is told to report to the bathroom to have her hair fixed for church. My husband tells her to do this when I am in mid hair straightening mode. Ever see those cartoons when the character gets electrocuted? Yeaaaa, that is what my perm induced frizzy hair looked like. She takes one look at me and doesn't sugar-coat it.
"Mom, your hair is a mess….with a cherry on top."
The cherry was the pile of hair that was clipped up. That one…she had a point.
