My 9 year old has been cracking me up lately! She can also drive me to drink with her epic tantrums and fights with her sister but my goodness, she’s funny and I’m not entirely sure she realizes it.
My husband had to leave town twice in a short period of time. One trip was an overnight leadership retreat with some of the teenaged young women in our church-with other male and female leaders, of course. A couple days later he was going to a conference for a few days. My daughter told her teacher that her dad was going away for a while. The teacher asked her if I was going with him and my daughter said, “No, he’s going with a bunch of girls.” Her teacher and I laughed about it at parent teacher conference but I’m sure at the time she was thinking, “So, that’s how it is in their family…”
Another time I was finally waking up on a Saturday morning (around 10AM) when the family all ended up in bed with me. I was laughing and goofing off with them and my observant and somewhat shocked child said, “Mom, you’re actually in a good mood today! You’re usually just yelling at everyone!” Uuummmmmmm….thank you? (What I really wanted to say was, “You try carrying around a baby in your uterus for almost a year and see how happy you are all the time!!!)
This girl is a talker and a giggler. If she gets in trouble at school, it’s because of talking or giggling. I’m pretty sure she’s known in class as the giggler. I think she even got an award for it at the end of school last year. Which will explain why I found this next thing so funny. I found an essay she had to write in class in the paperwork she brought home. I’d scan it but I’m too lazy so here it is:
“I don’t want to be a bedroom because when someone will lie on me I would start to laugh and I would not stop laughing. I would laugh ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I like being a person. It is really fun!!!! THE END”
I have a feeling this was supposed to be a one page essay because she magically made it take up an entire page.
Anyway, that girl is a treasure and anyone you comes in contact with her agrees!
**PS-She caught me writing this and got really mad. According to her and my 7 year old, I am no longer allowed to write ANYTHING about either of them EVER! So don’t tell her I told you….ssssshhhhhhh

She gets her funny from you and her giggle from me... no, it's true, my uncle nic named me giggles when I was small and I never heard him call me by my given name...LOL
Oh, and by the way ... your secret is safe with me!
I will try not to tell her. Haha.
She sounds sassy!
I guess I won't tell her but I can't guarantee my mom won't.
She sounds hilarious!
Lol! Yes I have a feeling in a couple of more years I will have to hide the fact that I blog to my kids so I can talk about them.
How did your husband going away with a bunch of girls even come up at the conference?
So glad to see new posts from you. I have to admit, I have been checking for new posts. lol. Your's is the only blog I keep up with consistently. You are so relatable and funny. Your daughter sounds like she gets her humor from you!
oh. p.s. In one of your recent blogs I think you said you go look at your followers blogs, so if you have, I thought I would mention that I don't keep up with my blogspot blog anymore. I moved to wordpress. That one is stoptouchingthat.wordpress.com if you are interested. It's not very exciting though. lol.
I'm pretty sure my nine year old and your nine year old should never marry. They would never stop giggling.
I want a calling where one of my job descriptions is "Going off with a bunch of girls."
Don't worry...your secret is safe.
