Kids Say, v.17.0

Hannah came home on Friday after career day at school, which she said it was boring.

She told me she had really been looking forward to a session called ‘tech styles’ because she wanted to learn about making web pages and such. I asked her how it went and she said all they talked about was fashion, which I took to mean fashion on the web.

It wasn’t till the next morning while we were sitting at Starbucks and she was telling the wife about it that it all made sense to me. She told her about career day and how boring it was, and that all they talked about in ‘tech styles’ was wool and stuff. It was then I realized the career session was about textiles, not ‘tech styles’. We laughed out loud over our coffee and in typical Hannah ‘fashion’ she shot me the ‘what is so damn funny’ glare.

I love you sweetie, your view on life brings me so much joy, even if it makes you mad when it does. 🙂

It was Noah’s turn… he has been shaving fairly regularly, about once a month which isn’t bad for a 14 year old, but anyway… He had been using some of my Neutrogena shave cream so we went shopping for a regular shave cream and I picked up some Gillette Lemon Lime.

After the first time he used it he came downstairs to chat. That was when he said, ‘that new stuff smells a lot better than the other stuff, but it doesn’t taste as good.’

What can you say to that?

The funny thing is, she doesn’t even know she is doing it most of the time, but Hannah came out with another winner today.

We were running errands today and were going to get some lunch and then fill up the lawn mower gas tank on the way home. While trying to see if we had anything else on the schedule, she said:

“Are we gonna do anything after we eat lunch and get gas?”

We laughed, she got mad. One day she might get how unintentionally funny she is.

What are these kids learning today?

While at dinner tonight, in an effort to share her manicotti, Hannah asked Noah if he would like one of her ‘ravioli rollups.’

Sigh.
