But my sister and I apparently have a genuine knack for producing prodigious offspring (no, not together – that’s disgusting and I don’t know why you thought of it — but as long as we’re on that topic, if you know a good “Arkansas” joke, go ahead and tell it to yourself… unless you’re from there, in which case, you won’t get it).
I thought it was pretty amusing, this past weekend, watching 2 (almost 3)-year-old Jenny widen the eyes of my friends as she spontaneously referred to “John Piccaine” and “Obama” as “politicians.”
My 6 (almost 7)-year-old niece is apparently going through a phase where she likes to “yell at” and not just “yell towards” (as in, “get excited and talk loud”) like Jenny.
Today’s report:
Mom:
“I have had enough. You are going to take a timeout. Then, you are going to sit down with a piece of paper and write down how a little girl who is 6, almost 7, should treat her mom. You can do it as a story, or you can do it as a list of rules.”
Niece:
“Could I do it as a Venn diagram?”
