Out of the mouths of babes

Conversation #1

Lauren was throwing a fit about something immaterial. I was trying to get Ella to sleep and a screaming two year old isn't really conducive with a sleeping baby. I was extremely frustrated and said...

Me: Gah! Sometimes I could just smack her!
Josh: Uh...could I do that for you?

That made me laugh right out loud!


Conversation #2

We went out for dinner on Saturday night as a reward for all of our hard work and to mourn the Hawkeye loss. Lauren was tapping her fork on her plate over and over again.

Me: Lauren, stop that.
Lauren: No, mom. It's my exercise.


Conversation #3

Lauren has been singing "Take me out to the ballgame" a lot lately. This is her version:

Take me out to da ballgame. Take me out to da ballgame. Peanuts! Strike! Take me out to da ballgame. One! Two! Three! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven! Twelve! Take me out to da ballgame.
