Kids say the darndest things

[Lindsey]

On Monday nights, my brother and his girlfriend go bowling, so I have been watching her kids (4 and 5 years old). The first while was great because they were so eager to do anything I asked. Last night I found out they're about done being nice and are comfortable enough to be bratty Anyways, I can not WAIT for these kids to grow up and get married so I have lots of stories to tell about them at their weddings

Morgann, the 4 year old, loves to sing. A week ago, I was reading her the book "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch. She insisted on singing the song on every page. When the book was done she sang her own song to me. It went like this: "I used to be just a baby but now I'm a little girl.... Later I will be a teenager and then I'll be an adult.... And then I will get old and sometimes I will die" LOL I said to her "Only sometimes? Other times you won't die?" and she said "YEP!" She also insists on saying her prayers before bed. It's really cute because she will kneel right beside her bed and whisper them to herself. Her mom asked if I ever listened to what she said, because she has tried saying grace before at the table. Apparently she says something along the lines of "Jesus BEARED the CROSS and DIED for our SINS and GOD WILL SAVE US ALL" and on and on and on lol... so funny coming from such a little girl and nobody knows where she gets it from!

Adrianne used to be the sweet quiet one but I'm catching on to her ways Shaun told me last night to watch out for her because she has figured out how to climb onto the counter to get into the candy cabinet. I caught her once and she said she was just trying to get medicine for her sore leg. I asked what kind of medicine and she pointed at Buckley's lol. I had to let her know that's not sore leg medicine and maybe she should just try not to walk on it, so I had a little girl hopping on one leg for the rest of the night!

Anyways, I'm really glad for the opportunity to be with them weekly. I really love those little girls! It takes away my Monday evenings and sometimes it can be a headache but it's worth it other times when I can read a book and have both little girls snuggled up with me, looking at the pictures and talking about the story. They just moved a few blocks from my place so it's not a big deal to go over there, and I'm sure some day the favor will be returned
