Wait'll she learns to spell

I was at the stove fixing dinner tonight and Kady was on the floor in the utility room in the doorway of the pantry. I figured she was arranging the potatoes into size order or turning all of the labels on the apple juice cans to the outside (As any obsessive/compulsive mother would expect). But I honestly wasn't paying that much attention. I could hear her babbling and jabbering to herself, but I didn't really hear what she was saying.

Then I was jerked back to reality by her repeated, "Momma? Momma! MOMMA!" I said, "What, honey?"

"Momma, what does S-C-H-M-I-R-N-O-F-F spell?"

"Uhhh...why?"

"Because that's the name of my castle!"

I looked into my pantry and sure enough she had taken both bottles of vodka and the bottle of whiskey and had fashioned a pretty good castle-front. I guess Prince Jim Beam lived there.

Nati told her cousin the other day to not touch the Vodka bottle (right next to the Rice Krispies) because it was "Big People Juice" and if he drank it he would turn purple with orange spots and die". Now......where did she hear that?????


At least now I know one of my kids listens to me!

There's an image.

"I need a bottle of Schmirnoff... no a bigger one. It's for my three year-old."

Hands down. She could win that spelling bee. Wait until she goes into your bedroom and says, what is T-R-O-J-...ah, the joys of being an adult and a parent.
