"I'm not crying. I'm sweating through my eyes!"
Alexis, Age 6 ;oP
Lex: *Huge Sneeze*
Me: Bless you!
Lex: (exasperated) Well that does it. No school for me today!
Me: (amused) Really? What makes you think that?
Lex: (rolling her eyes) I don't want to sneeze on my papers!
Me: (grinning) Nice try kid!
Lex: (grinning too) I know!
Scene: I'm cleaning up the kitchen and look out the window to see a deer munching on apples from the lower branches of our apple tree.
Me: Alexis there is a deer eating my apples. Do you want to see him before I scare him off?
Lex: (Excited) Sure!
(Lex looks at the deer and he looks back at her still muching apples.)
Me: OK, get ready because I'm going to scare him.
(I start to open the patio door and the deer takes off up into the woods up the side of the mountain. As long as we were just standing on the other side of the door looking at him he was perfectly content to just stand there and stare at us. Opening the door was another thing all together!)
Me: There! Now he won't eat anymore of my apples, for a few minutes anyway.
Lex: (In a very school marmish voice) Moooommmmm! Those are not your apples! Those are nature's apples and they are there so deer and other creatures will have something to eat!
Me: (Amused) Is that so?
Lex: (Exasperated) Yes!
Me: Well I don't see it that way.
Lex: (Helpfully) Maybe you should look at it differently.
My child the philosopher! ;oP
Scene: Coming out of the grocery store there is a handsome man standing on the sidewalk talking to a friend.
Alexis: (Looking at the man, blinking and then and giving him the best sweet grin you've ever seen.)
Dude: (Gives Alexis one of those melt the earth type of grins that only those drop dead gorgeous guys, who know they're handsome as sin, can do.)
Alexis: (In a loud voice): Mom he's hot!
Me: Alexis!
Dude: (Cracks up laughing and winks at her.)
Alexis: Well he is!
Me: Don't say people are hot when they can hear you!
Alexis: But Moooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm, he's cute!
Me: (Shaking my head as she and the dude keep grinning at each other.)
Can you imagine her teenage years? I don't think I want to! ;oP
Scene: Alexis sneaks up behind me in my office forty minutes after she's been put to bed.
Me: Alexis why are you still awake?
Lex: Because I love you so much that I just had to come tell you!
Nice try kid....To bed with you! ;oP
