Stinker

Madeline wrote her first word by herself the other day: Poop. I laughed, and when I asked her what it said she pointed to the letters and sounded it out: "Da-ddy"!

This was in the car: "Mom, the other day daddy took me to the liquor store and we got a lollipop"... oh really?

In primary, her teachers were teaching about the plan of salvation. They were explaining how Jesus's plan offers you a choice and Satan's plan offers no choice. Madeline raised her hand and said "well, my mom doesn't let me choose what to wear on Sunday!" Thanks for comparing me to Satan! What about the other 6 days of the week that I let her choose?

Adam and she have been discussing getting a guinea pig. Let me just say, I cannot handle a guinea pig right now so we haven't gotten one. The other day in the car, with all the black-lady attitude she could muster, she said "Mom, whats it gonna take to get my guinea pig!?" It doesn't sound that funny writing it down, but just trust me, it was hilarious.

We were over at my friends house and she was giving her girl some candy because she got a boo-boo. Madeline, obviously wanted a treat too but didn't get a boo-boo, tried to invoke some sympathy from my friend said matter-of-factly "Sometimes my dad hits me." What!? Nice way to throw your awesome dad under the bus just for a lollipop! If you know Adam, you know that is not true. In fact he is way nicer than I am. It would have been more believable if she said her mom hits her, which is also not true, but more believable, I guess. My friend who is a former elementary school teacher just burst into laughter and said "if I didn't know you guys so well I would be calling Social Services!"

You've got your hands full with that one! What a funny little girl! My favorite is the writing of poop though. That's one my kids would do!

That's hilarious!

And a word of advice from me, DO NOT get a pet right now. Even an "easy" one. I regret ever having a cat at the same time as having children. Such a pain!

We are roaring. The poop one is sooooo funny. My mom is visiting and I read it out loud and we all started laughing so hard. Sounds like Madeline will provide some awesome entertainment for the next few years. so cute.
