Last week was so busy for me, but was nice. Boss was off work from Wednesday thru Sunday (which is like a VACATION!!), which meant we tackled our crazy bonus room mess. It was so much fun (believe it or not). We got tired and silly and nearly crushed our toes with furniture when we started laughing (why do you get weak when you laugh?) .

Onto the funny things my kids are saying now.

Yesterday, Lady M finished reading one of her assigned "homeschool" books called "Catwings". This unit, we're studying the fantasy genre, and this was the first book for her to read. I asked her to tell me what the book was about.

"Well, there were these cats born with wings, which is weird. They lived in a dumpster, and ate trash, then this owl came along and tried to attack them, so they ran away and hid. Then this girl found them and she told her brother, 'Hey, I found these cats and they have wings',  and her brother said, 'No you didn't, cat don't have wings'--- and he's right, cause cats don't have wings. But then the sister showed him, and they took the cats with wings home with them and the owl didn't mess with them anymore."

I love that she had to add in the fact that "he's right, cause cats don't have wings". I had to re-explain what fantasy meant.

After our Christmas program at church, Lady M, Miss Priss and I were on our way home when Lady M launched into this.

Lady M :"Mom, Katie and Laura at church said they've had sex before."

(GASP!!!!) These are two sweet little 8 or 9 year old girls at church. After I coughed up my tongue, I replied.

Me : "Lady M, Katie and Laura probably don't know what sex is. I doubt they know anything about it."

Lady M: "Too bad I do."

Me:  (GASP COUGH GASP) "WHAT?!"

Lady M: "Yeah, remember when I asked you about that before? Remember, I told you about it?"

And in washed the relief, since my child thinks that sex is when a man and a woman are kissing in the bed and sometimes rolling around on top of each other. No nudity, no private parts, no nothing that an eight year old is WAY too young to know about.

Miss Priss was so very much into Christmas. That's gotta be one of the best things about being a two year old, you're finally starting to understand what's going on, and boy is it exciting!!

We have this table in our living room....

As you can see, Miss Priss likes to hang things on the curly things underneath. The week of Christmas, this became a place for most of the decorations/ornaments from our tree. Miss Priss decided that she needed to camp out underneath the table. When I asked her what she was up to, she said, "This my home, Mommy. This my Trismas Tree, don't you tink it's bee-ful?? (beeful = beautiful)".

Of course, I had to say yes.

She then moved her arm/hand Vanna White style over the span of the living room, "Is this your home Mommy? Oh my, it's beeee-ful, you think it's bee-ful Mommy?"

Again, I had to say yes. Ever since then, Miss Priss thinks all things are bee-ful. Too cute!!

Kid Witty Wednesdays

So I'm jumping on Mindi's blog carnival again this week....

Woo-hoo! It's almost Christmas!! I'm done with my shopping (as of yesterday, yes I'm a procrastinator!!)

So Miss Priss has a new thing she does.... every time she wants to get into something she knows she's not supposed to, she tells me "Mommy, you go sit at the 'puter" . I guess that means I spend too much time in this chair not paying attention to her!!

Yesterday, I found her in front of her princess vanity in her bedroom, smearing some B&BW lotion all over herself. She said, "I'm takin' a bath".

She's also taken to pretending to be everyone else in the house instead of herself. For example, she'll come up to me and say, "Bye Mommy, I'm going to work. I'm Dad. Bye Mommy, I yuv you."

(I don't think she realizes that Dad doesn't call me Mommy)

Then there's the times she pretends to be Santa. She puts on her Santa hat (that just so happens to have Baby's 1st Christmas on the front of it from her 1st Christmas), and says "Ho ho ho, I'm Sint Taus (aka Santa Claus). Mommy, look, I'm Sint Taus. Whattayou want for Trismas?"

I love toddler talk!

Witty Kid Wednesday

Wanna join in? Go to Mindi's blog!!

Mindi is starting a new blog carnival today called Witty Kid Wednesday, and my kids are always saying the silliest things, so I'm definitely on board with this one!!

For instance...

Yesterday we went to the Nutcracker ballet at a local university. This is our second year going to this particular show, but it's always great. As we were leaving, I was talking to Lady M about how she needs to really get serious with her lessons, since she's not been doing them like she should. I told her that she needs to be "diligent" and serious about her work because she will have to finish 3rd grade if she ever wants to be a dentist like she says. A few months ago, we had this conversation while she was working on her lessons...

Lady M: "Mom this can't be right. You messed up with this lesson plan."

Me: "What? I didn't write the text books, Lady M. I can't help it if there's a typo. Let me see what you're talking about."

Apparently Lady M was just misunderstanding what was written. I tried to explain to her what the book was talking about. She didn't get it.

Lady M (now frustrated): "Mom, why do I have to be homeschooled?"

Me: "We've gone over that before and the reasons haven't changed."

Lady M: "Well, why do you have to be my teacher? Since I'm the student, and you're the teacher, that means I can fire you right? 'Cause I think you should be fired."

Which brings me back to yesterday.... as we were leaving the Nutcracker and I was talking about getting serious with her work, etc., Lady M says this:

"Mom, remember when I fired you a while back? Well, can I hire you back now? Because this work is getting HARD!"

LOL! I had to keep a straight face.... but I'm officially hired as her teacher once again :)
