All about the whores around here…

First out of context – its funnier that way, trust me.

Today getting into the van, my five year old daughter said to my eight year old daughter, “Shut the door WHORE!”

now in context – she likes to rhyme and many things she says she follows with a nonsense rhyme just for fun. So she often says things like, “I’m eating pizza wizza” or “Let the dog in fin” or “This is my favorite game hame” – or “Shut the door whore” – Just ask Jessica about her rhyming with yucky… I dare you.

So whodda thunk I’d be posting about whores two times in one month (appx)? I hope it isn’t prophetic of my children’s futures or anything.

Maybe I should revisit cursing 101 as part of our homeschool curriculum? And with that, all you whores out there, shut the damn (or dam) door.

Happy day….but the changes? They don’t take place until tomorrow.

Today is Meredith’s birthday – this morning as I was wishing her a Happy Birthday, I asked her if she feels any different. She said, “No, not yet, but typically I don’t notice the changes until the next day, so I suspect that tomorrow I may feel a little older, perhaps a little taller….a bit more competent”

Who is this child? What seven, er eight year old talks like that???

I may have to rethink the name of my blog

A couple of weeks ago the history co-op we belong to had the kids make battle axes and costumes to reenact a battle from the early middle ages.
Medieval battle....

Well earlier today I found Allison’s battle ax in the trash – when I asked her about it, she put her hand on her hip, jutted out her chin, rolled her eyes just the tiniest bit and said, “Mom, I’m not a warrior!”

PS – and yes Hostess Streusel cakes are authentic to the middle ages! Look it up!
