Kids Say The Darnedest Things!

Kendall and I spend a lot of time in the car - driving Riley to school, picking him up from school, driving on errands, to dance class, to Little Gym, to play dates, etc.  She comes up with some pretty interesting comments as we're traveling.  Tuesday morning Riley and I were practicing his spelling words on the way to school and his last word was "rude."  I used it in this sentence "Sometimes Kendall is rude."  She let me know that she was paying full attention to our conversation by replying "Yes I am rude!  Yes I am!"  Riley and I laughed so hard we almost started crying.

Kendall asked me for fruit snacks one night and I told her no, that she already had some that day.  She kept begging for some to which I replied, "Sorry, your Mommy's mean."  She got upset and told me "No!  You're not mean!  You're kind!"

Every morning, Kendall jumps out of bed and comes over to our room to crawl in bed with me...Sounds nice, right?  Not usually.  She lays on top of me and then continues to rutsch (PA Dutch for wiggling) around.  The other morning she was being bratty so I sent her out of our bed.  She was mad and started crying.  A few minutes later she comes back to me and says "Mom, I need to tell you something."  I say "What do you want to tell me."  She says "I...Love...You."  Boy she's learned how to get back in my good graces, hasn't she!

Then yesterday after dropping Riley off, as we were leaving the school parking lot, she says to me, "Mom, I like Ra Ra."  I said "Oh yea?"  She said, "Yea, he's cute!  I like Daddy too."  Sometimes she can be so cute and sweet...when she's not being rude!
