I should let my husband write this one, because it was his encounter. Every other Friday he has the day off because he works Saturday. So, he gets some true quality time with the kids without the distraction of Mom. Without my oldest daughter around, he was IMMERSED in the other two and apparently they were very, very chatty today. The youngest in particular.
For example:
My husband and daughter were each having a glass of lemonade and he offered, "Cheers!" My daughter came back with, "Cheers to God, because he gives us all the cool things." (We are very neglectful church-goers)
My daughter later offered markers to my husband and told him to pick his favorite color. He picked blue and told her it reminded him of the ocean. "Like the ocean in Jamaica on your date with Mom?" (Wow, no one can ever say I'm a cheap date!)
Or the one that I'm sure will prove to be my father's favorite -- "Dad, you need to finish one job before you start another." says the 5 year old. To which my husband asked, "Where did you get that line from?" She outright lied and said, "No one. I made it up myself."
In the interest of proper citation - thank you Poppy! Thanks to you my living room was completely cleaned by the time I got home from work.
Silly little ramblings coming out of a little mouth, but she lives large. The picture above says it all.
