Say What?

As I have mentioned on here before my kids do not like me to write about them. Abbey gets completely embarrassed, therefore Emme does and Cam. They each copy the older one. It gets to be a pain when I am trying to accomplish tasks. Such as doing hair for church and choosing which bows/headbands should go in there hair.

The thing is they are so hilarious and often profound. And Cam might say something I just can't understand so I call in one of the other girls and they interpret for me. Once Cam was at the point of screaming and crying, "who-ha mommy, a who-ha" For breakfast?!? O...k... Em rushed in and said, "Mom she wants a Strudel". Oh. Right. I should have got that from whoha.

And the sad part about their language now I totally did not expect. I have no babies saying funny mistaken things. You know what I mean. Abbey used to call french fries, "fire flies". Cam jumped from 1 to 7. She talks like a big girl. When I send her to time out now for being disobedient she says, "fine guys, fine". Say WHAT?!? and my absolute favorite which makes me run and hide w/ laughter.
Me:"Cam please go sit on the steps"
Cam:"It's not funny guys", "it's not funny" In a grumpy voice. (no ones even laughing)
Say what?!?
Me:"I know it's not funny, you are in trouble"
I always have to hide because she is pouting and her face is scrunched up but her words don't match her appearance. A two year old tantrum w/7 year old words.

Hysterical only not so funny because I miss the innocence my firstborn had as a 2 year old. Third borns are just instantly exposed to and want to emulate bigger kid things from little on.

Ok. But I have to share this because well, I just want to, they made me laugh.

We were sitting in the van, waiting in the carpool pick-up lane while listen to music. None other than Princes' " Raspberry Beret". Yes, I am well aware of my age. Anyhow, those who know me know that I can bust a move whenever I feel a groove. Seriously I love to dance. I don't care that I am supposed to act like a "thirty-something, put -together, school-parent". So I broke it down. When ever this happens Em unbuckles and comes up to the front. Not one to miss out on the action. She says, "mom who is this",
ME, "Oh this is Prince, he was way before your time girl, he was cool back when I was a young girl".
Em "Oh so he's dead"
Me: SAY WHAT?!?
I laughed all the way till we picked-up Abbey. Sometimes I need my girls' perspective when I have had a way to serious day!!

Finally Abbey. She is so wise and smart for her age. Yeah, yeah, we all say that but really she is. Hey I can brag it's my blog.
We went to the mall on Sunday. Gasp I know get your shock out now. I hate mall shopping but as a stay at home mom I love "getting out in to the world". (You know who I'm talking to)
So any how we went into Aeropastles (?) and
Abbey says: "Mom , this place smells like uncle Ryan".
Me: I smile, and told her he loved that store and maybe wears the cologne.
We went on the select comfort to look for our new mattress. When we walked in,
Abbey says: "And this place smells like grandma and grandpa"
SAY WHAT?!?

I busted out laughing. She would be afraid to hurt anybodies feelings. Plus she thinks we are making fun of her. Those are here 2 reason for not wanting to be on my blog. But I laughed because she was being serious. She had no preconceived ideas of the stores. She only said what she thought.

Hilarious!!!
