More fabulous sayings by Anna Claire

I know...I know... to long to wait right? SORRY!!! Here are a couple of funnies from the last few weeks and be prepared for a mass of blogging coming your way! #1.) Anna Claire had petting zoo day at school last week. All my very "shy" child wanted to do was chase and chase the bunny. They told her to be careful picking it up, but she did it anyway. It proceeded to act like Thumper and "attack" my child's fair, baby soft skin leaving horrid scratches up and down both arms. Anna Claire throws down the bunny, looks at her teachers and says this, "Okay! I am DONE being a farm girl!" Anna Claire, silly girl! #2.) After many nights of a visitor in my bed (A.C.) from not feeling well, I picked her up early from school to take her home for a nap because she WON'T take one at school. She came home and slept 4 hours people! Well that threw her whole week of sleeping off whack even more. I got to school Thursday and was told she didn't nap, so here was our conversation. Me: We are going to eat a Chick-fil-a tonight and I will let you play, but we will be going straight to bed when we get home because you didn't nap today. A.C.: With and exasperated look on her face, "Who on earth told you that?!?" Me: (trying not to crack up) Nana did. A.C.: Okay, I am waiting for you to talk to me about it. #3.) This one is from a while back (and please don't think I am the worst parent in the world! A lot has skipped my memory since 1985 when I used to watch this particular movie ALL the time): Anna Claire LOVES music of all kinds, but especially musicals. She is fascinated with ANNIE so I let her watch it. I know people, it has harsh places in it, so I fast forwarded the VHS (it was mine) through the Carol Burnett drunk scenes and called it a day. Here is our conversation 2 weeks after she has watched it 3-4 times. As I am on my way out the door: A.C.: Bye Mommy! We don't say god d*** -it! Me: (as my Mom turns white) No Anna Claire we don't! Where did you hear that? A.C.: On Annie at the end when Rooster is chasing her. Me: Oh honey please don't ever say that again! (I exit) After a week of repeatedly saying "We don't say...." and then still saying it my Mom has a conversation about all the pretty words you can say with God's name and how it makes everyone sad to say ugly words like that, we haven't heard it again. Oh, I should also mention that I bought Annie on DVD to be able to select particular scenes and also Anna Claire can now sing you Meet Me in St. Louis from the Judy Garland musical better than Tomorrow :) and I feel like a better parent.
