Kids and Their World

Liani was standing on the scale. I asked her what she was doing. She replied, " I'm sizing my weighs".

We were playing a board game that uses little cars. It's a game of life where you get jobs, buy a home and so on. At the end you retire. When explaining that to the kids, Kenny said, " Oh yes, it's when you get new tires so you can keep going."

When praying for the night Kenny asked, "Can we pray like the Mississippians?" (meaning Muslims)

One night I went to check on the kids to make sure they were doing good. Liani was out of bed on the other side of the room talking with the boys. I sent her to bed. About 10 min later I went back in the room cause I heard talking. Liani was again by the boys beds. I sent her back to bed. About 30 seconds later I heard talking again, came in the room and as soon as she saw me she said in a very exasperated voice, "Ohh, not again."

Liani was opening and closing drawers in the kitchen. This conversation ensued:
Mom: Please stop playing in the kitchen.
Liani: i am not playing I have to check on things that I am cooking.
Mom: Well, can you check on things in the dining room? The kitchen is dangerous.
Liani on her way out the door: Mom, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Tsk tsk...little girl, big attitude.
