Me: “Bath time!”
PN (spelling): “B-U-C-K!”
Me: “What?”
PN: “I’m going to buck you!” (as she lowers her head like a bull)
Me: “If you do that, you’ll be G-R-O-U-N-D-E-D!”
PN: “B-U-C-K!”
Me: “G-R-O-U-N-D-E-D!”
PN: “I wish I gave birth to you!!!!!!”
Me (laughing hysterically): “Why…why….why would you say that????”
PN: “So I can spell that to you!“
Me: “Spell what?”
PN: “G-R-O-U-N-D-E-D!!!!!!!!”
PN: “You’re so silly, Mama!”
Me: “I was born that way…what’s your excuse?”
PN: “That does not tickle my funny bone, Mama!”
PN: “Mama, can these earrings come out of my ears?”
Me: “Sure, they have a locking back, so I’ll have to figure out how they come out, but yes, they can come out so you can wear different earrings if you want.”
PN: “Great! I want gold hoop earrings.”
Me: “Gold hoops, hmmm?”
PN: “Yes, and they have to be real gold, and really really shiny!”
Me: “Real gold, huh? And really shiny?”
PN: “Yes. And I want big ones. Big, real gold hoop earrings that are really, really shiny. I’ll wear them to school and be the prettiest girl in school!”
Me: “You’re already the prettiest girl in my book…pretty and smart and a little bit dorky.”
PN: “I’m not dorky! Dada, Elvis and Travis are dorky – I’m a dorkess ‘cuz I’m a girl!
PN: “Mrs. E wants to know if you’d ever give me away.”
Me: “What?! Why would she ask that?”
PN: “Because she thinks I’m adorable and wants to take me home with her.”
Me: “Tell Mrs. E that I’m sorry, but you’re stuck with me forever!
PN: “I know that already – don’t forget, you’re stuck with me forever, too!”
PN: “Hey!“
Me: “‘Hay’s’ for Horses…”
PN: “No, Mama, I didn’t mean H-A-Y, I meant H-E-Y…with an exclamation point!”
Me (laughing): “An exclamation point, huh?”
PN: “Yes, and a comma, and a period, too!”
Me: “Well, you normally don’t use a comma or a period with an exclamation point, the exclamation point is fine all on its own.”
PN: “I know, Mama! I already know about ‘end punctuation’!”
PN: “I got to be Mrs. E’s helper ALL DAY today! I was in charge of the white board and everything!”
Me: “Really? What did you do with the white board?”
PN: “We were talking about buses, so I had to draw a bus on the white board.”
Me: “How’d you do?”
PN: “Great! Everyone loved it. I loved being Mrs. E’s helper today, I think I want to be a teacher when I grow up.”
Me: “Really? What grade do you think you’ll teach, Kindergarten?”
PN: “All of them.”
Me: “All of them?”
PN: “Yes, I would like to start off as a Kindergarten teacher, then the next year teach first grade – and teach all grades if they’ll let me. I think I would be a great teacher!”
Me: “I think you would be a great teacher, too – I’m not sure they’ll let you teach ALL grades, though…”
PN: “Well, that’s OK, maybe I’ll end up being the school nurse or something.”
Me: “Really? You’re thinking about being a nurse when you grow up?”
PN: “Sure, and maybe I’ll even work in a doctor’s office!”
Me: “That sounds cool! You could even be a doctor if you want…”
PN: “No, I’d rather be a nurse. Or a teacher. I think teaching Kindergarten would be good. Or first grade. Or even third grade. I know I’d do a good job.”
Me: “What do you mean?”
PN: “I wish I could be you and you could be me for one night.”
Me: “Why would you want to do that?”
PN: “Because then maybe I could meet the Tooth Fairy. She won’t let kids see her, we have to be asleep. So if I were you for one night, maybe I could meet her.”
She’s so cute!
Gold hoops huh? better start saving for those now!

She is the cutest!! I love the comment about wishing she had had you so she could spell grounded to you haha! And the punctuation, ahh, I can’t wait until I can actually converse with my little guy (ok, I can because I know I will miss him being a “baby,” but still!).
Thanks for you wonderful comments! Sounds like your wedding turned out great, that really is the way to go!
OMG, these conversation with PN were sooo cute! She’s a smart cookie, isn’t she? My favorite was when she said she was a girl, so she’s a “dorkess”. Heeheehee

Okay, first of all, WOW does she ever look like you! What beauties!
Secondly, she IS adorable! I second Ms. E’s claim-lol! My favorites are the spelling conversations (buck and grounded, hay and hey) although I do understand your girl’s yearning for real, shiny gold hoops-I just splurged on those yesterday for myself! Have a great weekend!

Recent blog post: SOME THINGS……JUST DON’T NEED A BATH!
I’m coming over from Blog Stalkers Unite, asking for your help. I am in the running for a round trip airfare paid ticket to Connecticut, to meet a friend I became acquainted with through blogging. She is a super fun person and is holding this contest. I entered a funny story titled “Grapejuice Floaties, Now Marry Me.” The person whose story receives the most votes will win a trip to meet this generous lady, whom I’m hoping to meet. The voting ends tonight I believe. I am ahead for now but there is a story coming up from behind out of nowhere and I would so, so, appreciate your help. Her blog is http://www.becausemomsaidso.blogspopt.com and the voting is on the sidebar on the right. “Grapejuice, Floaties” Just go there and cast a vote for me, please. Thanks so much-you’re awesome! ♥
That first shot is adorable. You’re in trouble if she’s already asking for gold jewelry. And wow, what a smarty with her punctuation!
That princess sure has a lot to say. I think it’s great she thinks meeting the tooth-fairy is one of the perks of grown-up-dom. 😉
I love these conversations. Your daughter seems so grown up.
How cute! She’s one sharp kiddo. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
