Nudge The Nest & Pray They Fly
Every Friday at Aubrey’s school, they have Show and Tell. Today she took her Webkinz Guinea Pig which she very creatively named “Fuzzy” (Futhy, if you are listening to her.) Here is our afterschool convo about Show and Tell:
Me: What did your friends think about Fuzzy?
Aubrey: They LOVED him! Everybody said, “Awwwwwle!” when they saw him and then I just tooted a little bit, but I said “Excuse me…”
Never been to a scratch and sniff Show and Tell…have you?
Aubrey (5 years old) : Mommy, will you make me a sign?
Me: Yes, what do you want it to say?
Aubrey: No…
Me: (repeating as I write) No…
Aubrey: Moms…
Me: Moms…
Aubrey: Allowed…
Me: HUH? Where is this going?
Aubrey: My bedroom.
Touchē.
Sooo, we were talking about what the girls wanted to be for Halloween (princesses, shocker right?) and Emma says, “I, I, I, I wub to catch wabbits Momma. Cuz they don’t go pee-pee in my hand. Uh-uh they don’t. Right Momma?”
Huh?

Oh yes, she did. Several hours into our drive to Alabama…
Aubrey: Mommy…how do babies get in your tummy?
Me: We’ll talk about it later Aubrey. It’s a really long story.
One hour later:
Aubrey: Mommy, I’m ready to hear that story about how babies get in your tummy now.
For. The. Love
On the long haul from Charleston to Alabamer we watched Shrek 2 about 5 times. At the end of the movie Puss in Boots sings Livin’ La Vida Loca. HERE are Aubrey’s words, Emma was actually singing it correctly until Aubrey “taught” her the right words (“Repeat after ME, Emma…):
Rail, Run, Grow
Ready to be like yoga,
I’m ready to be like yoga…
Once again out of the clear blue sky, “Momma, are you going to get me a lava lamp for my birfday?” I don’t even know how she knows what that is…
