My 6 year old daughter is a natural entertainer. I love her sense of humor because it is so eerily similar to mine. Could this be genetic?
For example, last night my in-laws took her to a local dining establishment for dinner. When I asked what she had for dinner, she said with a big (albeit toothy) grin on her face, "I had chicken, macaroni, biscuits, strawberries, and diarrhea." I was a bit shocked, but at least the order was correct. She went for a checkup at the doctor a couple of weeks ago and boldly announced upon entering the waiting area that, "this smells like an old person's house." Maybe she will be a comedienne? SNL could use some humor so maybe we could be the only mommy/daughter regulars on the show. I can do my Nancy Grace impersonation and she could sing something from Selena Gomez\.
My 8 yr old son is much more serious . However, I announced to him that he will have to dress up for tomorrow's awards ceremony. He said, "Great! I will wear my Spiderman shirt that lights up." Are shirts and shoes that light up considered formal wear? I guess lights equate with bling. But I liked the way he was thinking.
Of course they also say things that don't really go over well with me due to the brutal honesty they possess. "Mommy, when do you think your stomach will look they way it did before you had Baby Woo Woo?" Mmmm. Probably when I visit a plastic surgeon would be my best guess, but I don't say that aloud.
Of course I was mortified the time we were in line at Target and my daughter pointed at the lady in front of us and said, "Mommy she is pretty and fat," What???? I said we are all different and beauty really comes from within, but when you are 6, you just say what's your mind.
Back to work...I guess I am channeling my inner diva because my flip flops have beads on them. Move over JLo....
