Do you remember that show called, " Kids say the darndest things? " well in our house, that's just typical conversation. Just a quick recap of one of my favorite conversations, with the best 10 year old in the WHOLE world.
Picture this....
Driving gabbi home from mutual, and maddy is of coarse bored during the 6 minute commute. She wants to read her book in the back, but the light is glaring in my rear view mirror, which we all know is not a good idea.
Mom says....."Maddy, turn of the light, I can't see.
Maddy......" Why does GABBI get her light on?"
Mom...... "gabbi turn your light off, I can't see."
Maddy......" No wait.....Dangit, I could have read using that light instead."
Gabbi...." Haha, that's what you get for tattling."
Maddy...." can I use your cell phone light mom?"
Mom....." No, it wears down the battery."
Maddy....." Gabbi, can I use your cell phone light?"
Gabbi....."No....
Maddy....." Why?"
Gabbi....." Cause it wears the battery down."
Maddy, definately aggitated, because life is soooo unfair, throws her head down, and say's....GOSH, why don't you guys EVER let me use your cell phone lights?"
Moms just thinking to herself..." Seriously, is this for real?"
Maddy, pops back up and in the sweetest tone of voice say's..." I really love you guys."
as Gabbi and I laugh, Maddy replies..."Whats so funny? Why are you laughing at me?"
Gabbi...... " That was so random, Where did that come from? You must have felt bad because you weren't being nice!"
Maddy......" No, I just layed down and thought to myself, if we were to get in an accident right now, I wouldn't want those to be my last words to you.
Gabbi......." Oh my gosh Maddy, that is the sweetest thing ever, I LOVE YOU TOO.
Mom....sat silent with a teary eye and thought...How blessed I am to be me, and have THESE in my life.
I love our conversations, and kids REALLY DO say the darndest things.
