He and I got up before the girls did. When Elizabeth got up, she looked at Snowy and said, "Daddy! You're a Nekkid Baby!" (When I'm getting them ready for baths, when they're undressed I call them "Nekkid [Naked] Babies") When Deborah got up, she looked at Snowy and said, "Daddy, why do you have a naked belly?"

We had finished eating; Snowy and I were enjoying a cup of tea and coffee while the girls were playing. A beautiful, but slightly hard, breeze started to blow. Elizabeth ran up to us and said, "It's wind-ing!" (pronounced with a short "i")

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	Yesterday the girls had a dentist appointment very close to the time I get out of work. As a result, Snowy drove me in so that he could pick me up and we could go to the dentist right from there. Anyway, I brought them all in to meet the New Boss. Deborah, with every ounce of 5-year-old graciousness, held her hand out to him to be shaken, and said, "Hello. My name is Deborah. I'm pleased to meet you." Then, breaking character, "Wanna see my 'Wall-E' watch?" (This was followed by Elizabeth doing her imitation of "Wall-E"!)

Posts: 207 Group: Admins Member #3 Joined: Jul 5, 2008	My two oldest have surprised me with some great questions/conversations. My daughter was on the phone with me while I am deployed here, and she was listening as I explained my schedule. Basically I go to bed at 1Pm or so, and get up around 10-11pm. So she asks, "Daddy, when you get back, are you going to be nocturnal, like an owl?" I was laughing really hard, but I had to admit, it was a good question and a good example. A while back (maybe a year or more), my son was telling me about what he wants to be when he grows up. I believe at the time he said he wanted to be either a scientist who studies rocks, or a scientist who studies space. He's always trying to learn how things work, and he loves rocks, so this was no surprise. Then he says, "Or maybe I'll be a ninja." On the inside, I'm thinking, "Awesome" but I have to ask him why he wants to be a ninja. As it turns out, he has a logical argument for his answer. "Well... Ninjas have to be good at climbing, and I'm really good at climbing things." (This is true. He climbs everything in sight... particularly when he's out of OUR sight.) "And ninjas have to be sneaky, and I'm REALLY sneaky. I was hiding in a bush, and my friend was THIS CLOSE to me, and he didn't even know I was there." I had to admit, he had a point. I suggested he could be a scientist by day, and a ninja by night. He thought it was a great idea. Kids rock.

When my younger brother was a child, he decided that he wanted to be an architect. Since he was always building with Legos it didn't totally surprise me, but I asked him why, just to be sure. His answer: "If Mr. Brady can have his wife stay home with 6 kids AND have a housekeeper in that nice house, THAT's what I want to do!"

Praying for our Nation Posts: 2,499 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jul 5, 2008	So a while back I took my boys to the grocery store. When we were getting out of the car my oldest (Ben) asked me if he could bring his (invisible) friend baby robin in with him. I said sure, you don't think there will be a problem with an invisible friend in the store... Well we were walking down an isle and this woman turns down it with a cart. Ben jumps in front of her cart with his arms spread out to the side and starts yelling "stop! you squished my baby robin!!!" The woman's eyes get really big and she looks at me like "What is going on???" Ben starts screaming, "You squished him! You broke him! Poor baby robin!" He's crying now and I am doubled over laughing, I can't help it. The woman is looking at us both like we have two heads so she just went around us and left.

He said to his mom before she led him in prayer to receove Jesus, "When I ask Jesus into my heart, I will go to heaven, right?" My daughter, Kelly, replied, "Yes!" "Okay." He bowed in prayer and asled Jesus into his life. When he was finished he sat very still, and silent. Kelly said, "What's up?" "I'm waiting." He was expecting to be beamed up immediately!

It is a canister type, so I could clean it out real good and use it to store stuff.... what do you think? LOL!

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	After church we had to run to the grocery store to pick up a couple of small items. The girls each had a stuffed animal in the SUV with them, but we ask them to leave it in there when we go to stores. Elizabeth had a brand-new My Little Pony baby pony. The girls were sitting in one of those neat carriages with the little truck front-end. Snowy was paying for our groceries when Elizabeth started calling: "Oh, no! My baby's crying in the truck! She's waking up! She's SOOOO sad! Don't worry, Baby! I'm coming; mama's coming! Hold on!" The cashier had the good grace not to laugh out loud, but he WAS amused.

Becoming Family Posts: 451 Group: Members Member #4 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	Emily again! When she was three, she had (still does!) a fixation on princesses, believing she was one. One day when she was visiting, my daughter, who was 26 at the time, came downstairs to leave for work. She asked Emily of she could have a hug goodbye, which she totally ignored. We gave her a little talk about being nice and hugging her auntie, but this willful child dug her heels in. (She does have a mind of her own!). Eventually, as we lightly badgered the tyke, she turned around, and said, " No! I am a princess, and princesses do NOT hug!" OY! :angle: As my mother would say, "What a besom!" (Old scottish term for a difficult woman... )

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	I recently switched Deborah from Johnson's shampoo, which was doing nothing for her hair, to "grown-up" shampoo and conditioner. She loves it. Unless they playoutside on Sundays, I tend not to give them baths on Sunday nights. A few minutes ago Deborah came up to me and asked, "Can we have a bath tonight?" Snowy asked if it was because she was hot and wanted a bath to cool down. Her reply: "No. I want a bath because my hair is going to get dirty!"

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	OK, this one beats all I've ever seen... Elizabeth work up crying at about 1:30, so I let her come into our room. Snowy and I woke up at 4 for him to get ready for work and had the TV on the Weather Channel (he always checks the weather to see what kind of day of work he's going to have). At one point Buffy, still asleep, lifted her head, "looked" at me and said, "Mommy, I'm gonna lay down & be asleep. Watch." ...and out she was!

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	Deborah came up with a good one this morning. She and Elizabeth were watching "Oobi". (For those of you who don't know...and it's important to the story...THIS is Oobi, Grampu and Uma.) Anyway, at one point in the show, Oobi fell down. I teasingly asked Deborah, "Did he fall on his 'booty'? Does he even HAVE a 'Booty'?" She answered, "No; he has an elbow."

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	I had explained to Elizabeth that Mommy would be going up front to do the special music, and she had to stay sitting with Daddy and Deborah. This morning I had practiced the song. Elizabeth said, "That's what you're singing Sunday; I'll sit with Daddy." I said, "Yes, you'll sit with Daddy." She added, "...and my Bible." :halo:

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	It was so sweet. When Barbara (our church's pianist, who has a voice like Christine McVie) and I finished practicing last night, Elizabeth looked up at Barbara and said, "That's a pretty song."

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	I've got 2 Deborah-isms: Last night we were watching TV. Snowy bopped over to The Weather Channel for a quick minute. Deborah was reading all of the screens as they popped up. I said to Snowy, "She's going to blow their minds in Kindergarten, when she shows them that she can read just about everything." Deborah smiled & said, "That's why I'm the Reader...and the Leader!" ______________________________________________________________ Yesterday I had to explain to Deborah that we were "out of juice", so instead, I made some pink lemonade. This morning she asked me, "Since we are 'in of' pink lemonade, may I have some, please?"

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,951 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	We were eating dinner, when suddenly Deborah said, "Yay-hoo!" I said, "What?" Deborah's answer: "Yay-hoo. That's French for 'Yee-Hah!'" Deborah was also talking about what her classmates did on Monday, while she wasn't there (the girls stay home with Snowy on Mondays). Snowy asked her if she minded not being at school on Mondays, staying home with him. Deborah's answer: "No, I don't mind, because I'll be going to school on Mondays in September!"

This one is for NASCAR fans: We caught a little of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck series race tonight. Deborah recognized it as NASCAR, but noticed that the "cars" were different. Snowy explained that this was the truck series; those were all pick up trucks. She watched for a little bit, then said, "OK. I like NAS-truck!"
