My Girls Say The Darnedest Things!

Something we will never forget about Big S:
When she was 2 years old, we thought she was fast asleep, and she would sleep through anything. As New Year's Eve turned midnight into New Year's Day, after spending the evening at home and drinking my husband proudly said "Happy (insert naughty word here) New Year!!" and shortly thereafter came a tiny voice, "Hubby backin' New Year". I'm a fairly comical parent, she was only two, so I let it continue in hopes of getting a few good laughs just between me, my husband, and my brother. By the next day it was over, and of course we forbid that sort of language then and still, but it was funny at the time.


Today, Lil S and I were playing with Lil J and Lil S told me that Lil J was going to have a little Brother! I was like "WHAT are you talking about!?" And she told me that this morning she made a wish on one of her eyelashes that had fallen out and her wish was that I would have another baby boy for Lil J to play with. I said "Why would you wish that upon ME? I don't think I should have any more babies!" and unbelievably, she quickly yanked out another eyelash (OUCH!) and without a wince too and continues to make another wish. She then said to me, "Okay, the new baby boy will be sent to you!" ::Sigh::

HUBBY BACK IN NEW YEAR?
heh heh

Today we went to the forbidden store (that's Wal-Mart for those who don't follow often). I can't remember why I felt the need to go there, but I did. Moving on. So I'm in the checkout, the girls are with Grandma at McDonald's, John's out to lunch with his brother, Lil J is hanging the best he can with me. Lil J start getting hungry and sleepy, oh no! I remain calm because there's nothing I can do any way and when I panic, he panics even worse, which makes me panic even worse, which... You get the picture here, I'm sure! Okay so the lady in front of me is showing the cashier ads from other stores for each item scanned. The clerk is politely discounting each item in accordance with their low-price guarantee. Every single item she fumbles through ads from Smith's, from Food 4 Less, from Vons, from Albertson's, etc. Then she had a bunch of coupons too. It was time consuming, but also interesting to see someone save so much money. Johnny starting crying and the lady behind me says "Awww, he's so cute! What an adorable little baby! Look at her baby boy, honey (she addressed her man), isn't he precious?" Now mind you there is nothing precious to me about a screaming crying hungry & sleepy baby ESPECIALLY when I'm in a line! She taps my shoulder with a light smack and continues "That's really saying something when they're really cute even when they're crying!" All I could say was "Thank You". I guess that I just wasn't in the mood at the time. Now that I'm more relaxed at home, I can appreciate the compliment a little more.
