She's ready to show you how to rock your wordle so get on over there when you're all finished up here!
Weird Kids
I'm speaking of my weird kids, of course. Last night as we were tucking in for bed, I said to Miss Cat, "Don't let the bed bugs bite!" An evil grin appears on her cherubic face and she says, "I'll kill the bed bugs, put them in soup and use them in my chicken stir fry!" HUH? What the heck kind of crazy games does she play when I'm not around???? I'm kind of freaked out by this little angel!
This is the same weird kid that publicly humiliated our family at Olive Garden a few months ago during our delightful lunch outing. (She was five...) It went something like this...
Me: "Hey kids, I have a surprise for Daddy when we get home!"
(meaning: House is clean, laundry is done...weekend is free for family fun...trust me, that is a huge surprise...)
Cat: " What's the surprise, Mama? True Love's Kiss? (long pause....) Sex?"
Me: Choking and spitting out my peach tea..."WHAT???!!!!"
Whoa nellie! Hello! Where the heck did she learn that word????? Did I mention that the waitress is standing at the table trying not to bust a gut? Tween Caveboy covers his face with a napkin and buries his head in the sand. Chilly, of course, finds this hilarious and wants to know more. NERDANDERTHAL! Doesn't he know you can't stop this runaway train once you climb on board?
Of course, she used her outdoor voice when asking me this question. Finally, after recovering from my shock and horror, I ask her what she thinks that means. "It means to hug someone, Mama!" she smiles while sipping down her Sprite. "Where did you hear that word?" I lean over to whisper. "Giselle said it in 'Enchanted', Mama." again...with the outdoor voice! (And boo to you, Disney! Well, kind of boo...I really do love that movie...)
It's really no big deal to her, you see...or is it? Do I see a hint of an evil grin appearing on that little mouth of hers? I'm pretty sure I did.
Tween Caveboy has his weird moments too. I am not at liberty to share them. He charges me too much money for his stories. I simply can't afford him.
Gifts

Have a great day!
I saw a baby girl this week wearing this adorable girly skull dress. So cute!
Bless your dd for using her outside voice to embarass you...you will laugh about this for years to come...and remind her often when she becomes a mom...lol.
And, the bed bugs? Ew.
I'm very excited for your 100th post and giveaway. Mine was so much fine!
PS. My hubby would be just like yours-forget the young child saying "sex" in a restaurant, he would want more details!
I used a blog post to create mine because I have absolutely no creativity and would never be able to pick my own words for it.
And Awards, my sweet Lord you are getting the motherlode! But you deserve it all!
And thank you for participating in my meme. I heart you! {for more than just this reason, of course!}
I wanted to die of embarrassment! Maybe I nursed her a little bit too long....
I love kids! They say the darndest things, and in the darndest places too!
P.S. I'm excited for you giveaway! You have managed 100 posts FAST! You go girl!
Very nice Wordle!
