A few funnies

Meagan had a fundraiser at school about which she had forgotten. The night before the money was due, she conned her sister (who still firmly believes that shiny money is more valuable than paper money) into "donating" the entire contents of her piggy bank. Oh the depths of sisterly kindness.

NiNi is suddenly interested in people getting married and often asks if so and so will have a husband or get married and KISS. She asked me the other day, "Mom, do you love your laminator?" (I am often saying this aloud when I use it for work) I replied, "Yes, I love it." She said, "Are you going to marry it?" I said, "I can't, I'm already married to daddy." NiNi suggested, "Well, you could sneak marry it." (Sneak is her new favorite word...she is fascinated with the idea that you can do things and no one knows about it). I said that, no, I did not want to marry my laminator. She said, "Yeah, because it doesn't have any lips."

NiNi is trying to find more sophisticated terms for her bodily functions. The other day she said, "Ut oh, a gas pass"

NiNi was mixing up a concoction of water, dirt and dandelions to feed her baby. We overheard her saying, "Here, baby, take your medicine. It has protein in it so you will have low blood sugar"

I drink tea every morning and Meagan has recently developed a taste for it too. I was making some for us the other day and said, "Meagan, here's your tea...it's almost done steeping." Meagan said, "Ohhhhh, Mom! Steep??? Is that your new cool vocabulary word?" My children think I'm an idiot.

NiNi: "I can't wait until I'm a grown up so I can boss around my kids."
