The microphone and other latest stories

O. has a Disney Princess cash register that has a microphone, so she can say, "Price check on eggs!" Although, she doesn't say that!  She doesn't know anything about that.  No, she sits at her desk and in her little world, she pretends that she is in school.  And she says into the microphone, "So and So, please come down to the office.  You are in big trouble and your mom is going to be really mad at you."  And continues on this tirade about what this kid did, and how much trouble he's in!  And the minute I make eye contact w/ her, she buttons right up!

Oh, and the other day, we were driving to school and she was talking about something.  She was off on some tangent, and she said, "Well Mom, it's complicated."  WHAT?!  She's 4!!!!!  How the heck does she know what that word means?!  Well, it turns out that she has no clue!  Hahahahah!  She just heard it somewhere and you know how kids are like sponges, she just sucked that word right in to use later!

J. came home from school yesterday and said that his friend [at school] was 'impressed' that he has watched every Star Wars movie except one.  And that this friend has only watched the second one.  But, that was his word, not the friend's!  His friend just said, "Wow!", but J. said that he was impressed.  I'm impressed that he knew what that word meant and that he used it properly in a sentence! 

When my youngest is getting yelled at, or talked to about her behavior and she doesn't like what you're saying, she'll put her little tiny index finger up to her mouth and go, "Shhh!"!!!!!  You just can't help but laugh!  LOL!
