The things that kids say.......

I have been getting a lot of hilarious feedback from Aislyn lately and wanted to share a few of them with you. Some of you may read this and think that she is the most sassy and sarcastic girl ever, but if you really know her I think that you too will feel like she is just really questioning our intelligence. Here are a few examples of this.

Setting: I had my niece spend the night and the three of them were in the room going to bed. I had them all in seperate beds to prevent too much goofing off, but 45 minutes later they were still laughing and making noise. I walked in to see Emma climbing up the bunkbeds and Alaina and Aislyn laughing and encouraging.

Me: Umm excuse me but this does not look like 3 little girls going to bed!

Aislyn: Well mom, why would you put 3 little girls in a room by themselves?

Me: Umm umm umm.....OH JUST GO TO BED AND BE QUIET!

Setting: Aislyn had her preschool coming to our house to see the animals for a field trip. I was telling her to hurry and find her pants so that she could be ready when they get here. She looked in my room, her room and everywhere in between. There was a particular pair that she wanted and we couldnt find it anywhere. Well, after a while I went into her room to find her still standing in her shirt and panties.

Me: Well, did you find your pants?

Aislyn: (looks down at her panties and then up at me) Does it look like I found them?

Me: Umm umm umm....no, JUST FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO WEAR!

Setting: My sister in law Jennifer's mom had just passed away and Brian and I had been talking about it with each other all week. Well, Jen had called for me earlier and Brian took a message. I had just sat down to dinner after returning her phone call.

Brian: Did you call Jen back?

Me: Yeah, I just got off the phone with her.

Brian: Was everything ok? She sounded sad on the phone earlier.

Aislyn: Well, her mom did just die! I think shes gonna be sad for a while.

Brian: (No response)

Me: (No response)

Of course there are the occasional comments that she makes from observing things happening around her. Like this one for example.....

Setting: The girls and I had run into a bathroom at a restaurant and were all taking turns in the same stall. I was wearing a pair of jeans that sadly are a little on the tight side, so of course when I zipped up I sucked in the gut and buttoned them. Aislyn was apparently watching this and had something to say.

Aislyn: Mom, remember when me and Alaina and Dawson were really little in your tummy and we stretched it out really far like this. (Hands stretched out from her stomach)

Me: Yeah

Aislyn: Yeah and now it doesnt fit into your pants.

Me: Tears.....crying....sobbing.....j/k The truth is brutal!
