THE WORLD ACCORDING TO AMANDA
Keeping it light tonight...
Couple of recent gems from my almost six-year-old.
* * * * *
me: "Are you bringing your puppy Butterscotch to bed?"
Amanda: "His name isn't Butterscotch, it's Chesapeake."
me: "Your puppy's name is Chesapeake?"
Amanda: "Yes...Chesapeake Bay."
me: "That's not a name, its a place."
Amanda: "No mom, its a RIVER."
...huh?
* * * * *
Amanda is making this deliberately loud blood-curdling screaming noise...and it is endless. Finally, I say "what on earth are you doing?"
"I'm trying to make the sound that Snoopy makes when he cries."
* * * * *
"Mom, could I please get a Starbucks Card for my birthday?"
* * * * *
"Mom, sometimes at school these kids in my class burp really loud, and everyone in the class laughs. Well, everyone with the exception of me."
* * * * *
"Mom, can we go see 'Jesus Christ Superstar' on Christmas? You know, since that's his birthday?"
* * * * *
Amanda points to the 3 shakers at the fixings bar at Starbucks and says "What are those, mommy?"
"Chocolate, Cinnamon, and Vanilla" I respond.
She rolls her eyes at me with complete disgust and says "DUH mom, I CAN READ, you know! I meant what ARE they?"
* * * * *
"Mom, what color is 'mauve?' I know it is an abbreviation for 'mauvelicious.'"
* * * * *
Love this kid. So, so much.
