Why is my kid in time out? I'm sure you also want to know why there is duct tape over her mouth.
My 4 year old little "princess" has a BIG mouth
Yesterday we had to drop Andrew off for his jail tour. While we were waiting for him to finish we ran over to the new Kohl's to look around. While we were paying for Amber's new shoes, she had the following conversation with the cashier. Keep in mind that Amber does not speak quietly. Ever. She is always at half-yell when she is talking. (My=I and My=my in Amber talk)
Amber: My going to a new school.
Cashier: That's nice. You'll make lots of new friends.
Amber: Yeah, but my will try to be nice to my friends. My won't fight with them like my brother did.
Cashier: That's good. It's not nice to fight with your friends.
Amber: Yeah when you fight you go to jail. My brother's in jail. We are going to go get him now.
Everyone within 20 feet of us has heard this and is now staring at us.
Cashier: Looks at me with her eyes bugging out of her head. Oh my, that's nice. I'm sure he will be happy to see you.
I slink out the door....
Have I mentioned that Amber's newest nickname is Princess Potty Mouth? Yes, this is probably my fault more than anyone else as I tend to cuss like a sailor. But, we have discussed this numerous times and she knows when she is saying a bad word. Usually.
The other day we were cuddling in my bed together. I took a drink of soda and it went down the wrong pipe. I choked, I coughed, I turned bright red, tears streamed down my face.
Amber: Are you ok Mommy?
Me: No sweetie. I'm choking. I think I'm dying.
Amber: Oh no! Does this mean you're going to Hell now?
Sometimes the kids and I lay on the floor in the living room and play. The other day we were doing this and Amber was "beating up" Andrew. She likes to pretend she is doing karate to him and then run and hide behind me. She gave Andrew a good karate chop and laid down on the floor behind me so that he couldn't see her. Well, she laid down with her face in my butt. Andrew being the "funny" teenager that he is asked her how it smelled. Her response: I'm not smelling Mom's ass you idiot. I'm hiding from you. Yes, my sweet little girl said this.
Please excuse me, I think I deserve to be sitting in time out with her and the duct tape.
