Dad: "Today was the best day of my life... well... aside from the day I got married... and the days you girls were born."
Mimi: "What about the day you were born?!?"
Dad: "Do you think you live in your own little world sometimes Mimi?"
Mimi: "You don't want to know the answer to that."
Then there was yesterday when I overheard her say "bloody owl" which I presume was her interpretation of a similarly sounding curse.
Me: "What!? Why did you say that?"
Mimi: "I don't know."
Me: "Who said that? Were did you hear it?"
Mimi: "No one did; I just made it up."
Me: "I don't believe you."
Mimi: "Why not? I made up my invisible friends Africa and Bunny; I can make up words - no problem."
Yep. You gotta love quirky kids.
As for today's 'blog-post-age-stamp' photo - it's a copy of a picture that Lotti brought home from school the other day; as a mother it's rather disturbing to see a normally happy child painting something so wild and manic, and densely black and blue... but when I looked in the corner and saw that the teacher had written "A watermelon" as the title, I was stupefied.
Yep. You gotta love your quirky kids... they're yours after all.
