When i get big...

Maelin never ceases to make us laugh -- and her perceptions of the world around her are no exception! We are still firmly planted in the 'why?' stage, and she's constantly asking why she can't do something or have something. Sometimes the answer is, "that's for big people," or "that's for adults," or "you're too little for that." She's composed an ever-growing list of things that she plans to do. They always start with "Me get big, me..." Here are a few of my favorites:

Me get big, me can wear hair gel.
Me get big, me can wear make up.
Me get big, me can use the orange hair spray.
Me get big, me grow boobs.
Me get big, me wear bra.
Me get big, me can touch stove (LOL!)
Me get big, me drive car.
Me get big, me don't have to hold hands in parking lots.
Me get big, me can cook. (Great! When would you like to get started??)

I'm guessing that we'll have our hands full when Miss Maelin hits the teenage years!!

Love to you all,
Shonda (and the rest of the clan)

She made me laugh too. My mom wrote down things that I have said during my childhood years. She use them to put on the bulletin board at my graduation open house. It was a smash hit. Everyone was laughing at my quotes. I am giving you this advice. Use it for her graduation open house. It will bring tons of memories with laughter. I never knew that I said that. I was surprised that my girls said the some of same quote when I was little. Is that amazing or spooky?? :-)

Hope you all have a super summer. Have fun, stay safe, and may laughter be plentiful!
