Out of the Mouthes of Babes

Riley: What is Song of Songs about? Is it a bunch of songs?

Me: Well, it is actually about a man and a woman who are in love and are getting married.

Riley: Yuck, we can just skip that one.

One morning we could not find Reagan's other shoe, so she ended up having to wear a different pair to school. Granny had been here the night before, so I called her to see if she had seen it. She said one was in the middle of the bathroom floor, which ended up being the missing shoe. When I picked up Reagan, the following conversation commenced:

Me: Granny said your shoe was in the bathroom.
Reagan: I looked in there!!
Me: Well, it was in the middle of the floor!
Reagan: OH. Well , I didn't look DOWN!

One afternoon about a month ago, we took a golf cart ride in the neighborhood. We came upon a group of girls playing. When I say a group, I mean a gaggle of girls. There must have been at least 10. Anyway, when they spotted Riley, they hopped on their bikes and were yelling, "Hey Riley, hey!"
Riley said, "Keep going, Mommy!"
Turning to the girls, he sneered, "Nah, Nah, ya' rascals! Can't catch me!"

I felt bad not stopping and being polite, but I think I made my boy happy by helping him tease the girls and that was worth it!

Reagan was talking to me from the next room:
Reagan: It was torrible.
Me: Oh, you mean terrible.
Reagan: No, Mommy, TORRIBLE!
Me: Oh, horrible?
Reagan: No, MOMMY, Tah-Tah-Tah- TORRIBLE!
Me: Oh, ok.
