Babes
Just a couple of quick stories, to follow up on our beach trip last weekend.
Babes in Arms
While at Target earlier this week, we spotted another inappropriately old girl carrying around a realistic babydoll. We realized that both she and the girl at the beach are probably doing those "what it's like to take care of a baby" school projects!
Out of the Mouths of Babes
I don't remember exactly what Shrike said to our 7-year-old niece, but it was something smart-ass and untrue, I'm sure, and it prompted the following conversation:Niece: Is Aunt Shrike kidding?
Whozat: Yes, she's kidding. She's always kidding. Don't believe anything she says.
Niece (stricken): So, then it's not true when she says she loves me?
Shrike: Oh, no honey, you can take that one to the bank.
Niece (with evil grin): I knew that'd getcha!
On the Babes in Arms~ A realistic baby? All I got back in the 80's was a 5 lb bag of sugar I named Samantha. I felt like an ass toting that thing around.
ReplyDeleteSounds like y'alls niece is a pretty smart cookie!

ReplyDeleteI had wondered about that...
She is smarter than her own good and our own good too. I see trouble ahead. And totally boycrazy too. At the tender age of 7.
ReplyDeleteSeven, hell - She was boy-crazy at five!
