Thirteen Things that Came from my 4 Year Old's Mouth Today

One through five are all from timeout...

1 - I need to peepee. I'm going to pee on myself if you don't let me go to the bathroom.

2 - My tummy is hurting.

3 - My tears need to be wiped.

4 - I will pray and ask God to forgive me if you just don't set the timer.

5 - My feet are kicking the wall because I can't control them. They are moving on their own. Please make them stop.

6 - I can't eat my soup. If I eat soup, my tummy will get fat and people will laugh at me. (I was extremely upset at this one. Who knew body image issues would start so early? I don't think she really believes it, but she's heard someone say it.)

7 - Why did the teacher put MAY on the paper instead of MAKENNA?

8 - 2 Points Mommy! (after I shot a basketball into her net outside!)

9 - I need more bread!!!!! (This is a constant. Bread is her food of choice. She would rather have bread than dessert.)

10 - Have you got to go to a meeting? (too many meetings - yes, I know)

11 - What is duty? (when I was calling my friend Kelly after I totally forgot that today was Thursday and slept right through my Thursday morning hall duty at school) - THANK YOU KELLY!

12 - I love you Mommy! (favorite!)

13 - You're the best, Mommy! (most favorite!)
