There are moments that Anna says things to me that just stops me in my tracks.
I'm making breakfast this morning she she stops, turns to me and says "Mom, I miss my grandpa's. They were such great men."
Mom, I'm going to need a bath tonight. I think that's my feet that stink!
Anna: Mom, can I have a puppy? I promise I'll feed it and play with it everyday!
Mom: We already have a dog and you don't feed her as it is.
Anna: Mom. Bear is YOUR dog.
Anna: Mom, I want to take the day off from school and Debi's.
Mom: Honey, you can't be home by yourself alone.
Anna: Mom! I can take care of myself. I can make my own lunch.
Unfortunately if left alone, her lunch would consist of pop-tarts, strawberry milk and jell-o!
This morning I told her she could ride her scooter to Debi's if she wanted. Since school is out this week for Kindergarten I figured she could play outside with the neighbor kids. So I drove along side her as she scooted her way up the street.
Mom: Anna you need to pick up the speed a bit (she started off quite slow!)
Anna: Mom, I'm in flip flops!
Anna's class was having career week and she'd come home telling me about the parents that came in: a police man, a doctor, a cake baker.
Mom: Anna, what do I do for my job?
Anna: You do things for your boss and he gives you money.
Anna: Mom will you buy this?
Mom: No honey, I don't have any money right now.
Anna: Just go to your boss and tell him you need the money to buy it.
This kid cracks me up!
