Things they said

Recently, my husband and I went on an awards trip with his company. We were taken to Palm Springs, CA to stay in the Hyatt Grand Champions resort (actually in Indian Wells, CA--but same difference). We left early on Thursday morning, so my sister-in-law came to get L to school and keep C for the day while Nana slept from working her usual night shift as an RN at a local hospital.

During the day while C was with Lindsay, she said some pretty cute things. We always say how sassy she is, and boy, does she know what she means to say. She told Lindsay, "Aunt Lindsay, you need to get your act together, here. You gave me one cookie, but I want two. Now what are we going to do about that?" Lindsay said she couldn't believe C came up with that phrase for the situation. (I can't imagine where she would have heard someone say to get their act together...ha, ha!)

Then, Lindsay took both kiddos to a discount store to get a toy. C had picked 2, but Lindsay was only going to buy them 1 each. So, Lindsay says to her, "Ok, C. Which one do you want to pick? L has already picked his 1 special prize. Which one do you want?"
C replies, "Well, I pick these 2."
L: We're only going to get 1, OK?
C: This is really not working for me. I need both (Boff) of them. Sorry for you.
L: (Thankfully, she stuck with her original 1 prize each rule) No, ma'am. You have to pick just one. (A pink telephone won after much foot stomping and Hmph-ing, I'm certain.)


A couple of nights ago, L wanted (as usual) to sleep in our room. Z was telling him that everyone has to at least start off in their own beds. (C has been sleeping in her big girl bed for about 2 weeks now. Sniff, sniff) L looks at him and says, "Hey, Daddy. What if I pay you? How much money do you want so I can sleep in your bed?"
Z just had to leave the room to keep from busting out laughing in his face.

Oh, man!
