make-up

Abby had to make up a karate class the other day, so we called it a make-up class. She pulled me aside and asked me, "boys wont'be there right? Since it's a make-up class, it's just for girls, because boys don't wear make-up...right?"

Prayers

It was dinner and Abby offered up a prayer. "I'll wait until you all close your eyes... God our Father, thank you for all the stuff and our love and this dinner. And I am pretty sure I will not eat it or like it, but thank you for it because Daddy made it and stuff. (whisper) I know I won't like it. Amen." then she stopped. "Wait everyone I forgot..close your eyes. And I think you are so good...Amen"

Back washer

I bought Abby and Paige ONE Pepsi the other day for the two of them to share while we were eating nachos after ice skating. Abby took the first drink. Paige went to take a sip and saw residue of chips circling the perimeter of the pop. "GROSS!" she said and showed me the back wash. I told her i would buy her another drink, because I, myself, was sickened. When Paige walked away to get her drink Abby grabbed the Pepsi and smiled. To herself she said, "a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do"!

I turned my head to laugh.

BM

Abby was pooping the other morning. When she was done, she told me that she was glad her belly doesn't hurt anymore. "Now I won't have to poop again today. THIS SHOP IS CLOSED". I said, "WHAT"? She said, "I'm done pooping mom. This shop is CLOSED". NO idea where she came up with it.

privacy

Abby, the FIVE year old, told me when she grows up she wants a private wedding. I asked her if she knew what a private wedding meant. She said, "It means then when I kiss the person I marry, nobody will be there to laugh at me". So those of you out there that thought an invitation would come your way.. sorry.

Find a Penny

Abby found a penny today at Church. She showed it to me and I asked her if she know the rhyme "find a penny pick it up.." and she stopped me. "Mom", she said, "I wanted to give it to you because I know you don't have very many of them". I asked her what she meant. She said, "I know that you never have money so I want you to have some".

Baby Abby

"Mom, I want to be a baby".. I told her, "Well if you are a baby you couldn't have pizza. You couldn't eat ice cream. You would have to take naps and you couldn't talk back because babies don't have attitudes!" She says outloud, "Well THIS baby would have an attitude".
