My six y.o. is exploring the world of words. She is alway saying something crazy. I don't really think she means to talk crazy, but it just comes out that way. I then have to correct her (only if she not speaking correctly) and explain why she can't use that word or this word and so on.
Well........
This morning on the way to work, Taryn a bad case of the jabber jaws. Ordinarily, I just listen to it. But this morning I was so tired. Another late night. Again. (Need to break the night owl habit). Anyway......
It was cold this morning with frost on the windows - the first frost, actually. So I was surprised to see a squirrel scampering across a patch of grass. " Taryn, look. A squirrel!" (We love to watch squirrels) She's gives a little gasp and says "Yeah, he's looking for his NUTS!". The mother in me thought it was so cute (angel on one shoulder), but the dirty minded woman (devil on the other shoulder) in me thought...well, you know....I started cracking up; while I was driving no less. Taryn started laughing too -one of those good hearty laughs. But then an awkward silence....(the kind where you would hear crickets)......
I was actually thinking this: Is Taryn laughing because I'm laughing at her innocent comment or did she make a cheesy "NUTS" joke? So I bravely asked why she was laughing. And this is what she said: "Mommy, I wasn't talking about the kind of nuts you eat!" "What kind of nuts were you talking about, Taryn?" "You know! Nuts, Nuts!"
OOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGG!!!!!!! I was speechless. I mean truly speechless. I didn't know what to say. I was just like, "Oh."
Later, when we were at the table, right before eating dinner, I teased her a little about it. I actually watched her cheeks turn the cutest shade of pink; Taryn was blushing. It was cute. I found out that she learned about, you know, from being a smart little girl.
Another mommy milestone.
