On my typical Monday morning yesterday, I was volunteering in Princess’ 1st grade classroom. One of the things they were working on was identifying cracker (dry, boring) words and changing them to cupcake (fun, exciting) words. So the sentence “My mom is very pretty.” would end up being something like “My mom is extremely beautiful.”
Last night at dinner. . .
Me: Princess, where are you going?
Princess: I’m full.
Me: Sit down. You haven’t eaten any of your chili. You are going to be hungry and there will be no snacks.
P: Oh fine.
She eats a couple Fritos dipped into her chili and gets up again.
Me: What are you DOING?!
P: I ate some more.
Me: Um, you ate some more chips. Try 2 more big bites of chili.
P: OK - fine!
She takes two small bites of chili and starts to clear her stuff from the table.
Me: Seriously? That was not two big bites.
P: looking over her should as she walks away to the kitchen with her bowl in hand . . . Well, it WAS two bites, and you said TWO bites. Anyways - BIG is a cracker word. You should use something better like LARGE or GINORMOUS!
Oh how I LOVE her big - er ginormous - personality
Princess is definitely a ball of personality!!! Love…Mom
