Mouths of Babes...

Kids say the darndest things....

Moore-Licare style.

 

 Here are a few samples of the things being discussed in our house!!

 

 

I took a bite of Stella's bagel while she was talking.  She looked down and noticed a bite missing and said, "WHO TOOK A BITE OF MY BAGEL??"  I very calmly told her that I had taken the bite.

 

She replied, "Well then.  I'm gonna kick your ass."

(yes, we had a long conversation about that one.)

 

 

 

Mom- How's the 5th grade drama these days?

Finn-   Good

Mom-   Still got a girlfriend?  Amelia?

Finn-    Yeah.  But Raina is causing trouble because she's good friends with MaryAna.  And Mary Ana likes me.

Mom-  Yeah. You're pretty cool. 

Finn-    Raina said she was gonna kill Amelia so I went to talk to her and tell her to stop being mean to Amelia.  She thinks everyone is afraid of her and so I decided I better stand up to her and stand up for Amelia.  She usually backs down when somebody stands up to her and tells it like it is.

Mom-  I'm glad you told her to stop.  I sorta get it I guess.  She's trying to make her friend, MaryAna, feel better.  I guess she doesn't want her friend to feel sad because you have a girlfriend.  But saying she's gonna KILL her is NOT ok. Neither is being mean to her.

(all is quiet for about 2 minutes.)

Finn-    So I found out there's this "hot list".  Supposed to be a list of hot guys. 

Mom-  So are you on it?

Finn-    Yeah.

Mom-  Well, we have always known you are quite handsome.

Finn-   Yeah.  Yeah we have.

 

 

 

A couple weeks ago, I ran upstairs...talking to myself the whole way...

 

Me- "Dear Lord,

Please let Maddy score today.  I know I'm not supposed to pray that way.  I know, I know- I should pray for guidance and wisdom and stuff like that.  Maybe pray that she have a good game and trust in her ability to make the choices she needs to make today, etc.  I know. But it sure would be nice for her to score. It's time.  She's worked hard, she's dedicated, she's fierce.  So a score would be really nice."

 

Finn- You're not supposed to pray that way?  OH yeah.  It doesn't work AT ALL.  You can't just pray for things you want.  I know cause I prayed for YEARS to be a super hero....and NUTTIN.

 

(side note-  She scored in the last 2 minutes of the game that day! :)

 

 

 

Stella-  I want another Mother.

Mom-  Really?  Do you mean you want two?  Or someone different?

Stella-  Someone different.  NOT YOU.

Mom-  How come?

Stella-  Cuz.

Mom-  Do you think a different Mother would be better for ya?

Stella- Yes.  I want a new mother that doesn't make me wash or brush my hair.

Mom-   Ah.  I see.

Stella-  You do?? 

Mom-  Yes.  But you're not getting a new one.  You're stuck with me forever.

Stella-  That's what I was afraid of.

 

 

 

Maddy came home from school the other day...

Slams door open (CRASH).  Slams backpack down. (BAM)

Hair on side of her head in a messy bun, t-shirt, leggings, socks, tennis shoes (looking cute as ever and just like Maddy)

Screams:

"MOM!! I GET TO PLAY POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL IN KEY CLUB!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!"

(and proceeds to do a little celebration dance up the stairs.)

 

 

Last one...

 

Maddy-  I had my World History midterm today.

Me-        How was it?

Maddy-  Well I studied for like hours and like none of the stuff I studied was even on the test!

Me-        Oh no.  Not good??

Maddy-  Oh, please.  It was really easy.  I'm just totally irritated that I wasted all that time studying.
