Since my five year old is about to be six, I thought it was high time I posted a new conversations. The problem is, she's not been all that hilarious lately. But Maren... Oh, that child has been a font of amazing statements.

Maren: MOMEEEE! MOMEEE!
Me: Yes, dear.
Maren: MOMEEE!*
Me: What?!?
Maren: I ridin' the horsey?
Me: Yes, you rode the horsey. That was fun, huh?
Maren: NO! I wan ridin' the horsey RIGH NOW!
Me: Well, sweetie, you can't ride the horsey right now, we're in the car.
Maren: AAAHHHHHH! Why, why, why?!?!
Me: Brynna, can you help me change the subject.
Brynna: Look, Maren, ducks!
Maren: DUCKS? DUCKS! DUCKS! MERE, DUCKS, MERE! I HAZ CRACKERS FOR YOU!**
Brynna: And cows!
Maren: COWS? COWS! I RIDIN' THE COWS?!?
* When Maren screams your name, "What?" is the only appropriate response. Anything else you say, anything say, more polite, will just cause her to continue screaming your name.
** Blatant lie - she had no crackers.

Wow! Must have been one short conversation!
It's like the conversations I have with my husband. I talk for 20 minutes and this is what he hears....
Yeah. I'm not sure who to blame, my fancy-schmancy new keyboard or Blogger. Definitely, definitely not MY fault, though. :)
It is fixed, though. Come back and read the hilarity.
Your girls are too funny! And Brynna cracks. me. up!!!
I just love these posts. Especially how you now try to enlist Brynna to help manage Maren. I do exactly the same with Oliver when trying to manage Lucy!
:)
Jenn - Thanks. :)
Steve - Yeah, I wouldn't survive my morning car rides if it weren't for Brynna helping me move away from the more screamy topics. Like HORSEYS!!!
