Paige

Paige has started doing the most interesting "joke." She likes to dig
her finger into her nose and pull out something and wipe it on her
lips. She then proceeds to tell me that she wants to give me a kiss (on
the lips) and is very persistent. A few times, I have missed seeing her
put stuff on her lips and she informs me after her kiss that she just
gave me a "snotty kiss."

Last night, I was tickling Paige and she got some goose bumps which she
promptly told me were her "oochie bumps."

recent funny stuff

The other day, I had emerged from putting laundry away to find Paige
walking around in the kitchen. I asked her, "What are you up to
Paige?" she very casually replied, "Oh, I am looking for trouble."

We were at a Chinese food restaurant and Chloe was very interested in
the paper placemats that told of the animal associated with each birth
year. We went through our family discussing what animal each member of
our family was based on the year they were born. When Chloe found out
that Paige, Grammy, and Grandpa all were born under the year of the cock
and that she didn't have anyone else in the family with her same animal,
she began to get very upset. She began to throw a fit exclaiming,
"Everyone in my family is a cock except me! My sister is a cock, my
Grammy is a cock, my Grandpa is a cock. I want to be a cock too!"
Needless to say, we got a few stares and chuckles from the other patrons.

Grammy was watching the girls this weekend. She was driving them home
when Chloe started to say that she wanted to play soccer in the backyard
when they returned home. Grammy told her that it would depend on the
weather, meaning they would go outside to see how cool it was when they
finally got home. The minute the car pulled in the garage, Chloe hopped
out and ran inside to the computer. When Grammy finally came inside,
Chloe said to her, "Grammy, I am having trouble getting on weather.com.
Can you help me?"
