From the Mouths of Babes

So I love when my kids say funny things. Especially when they don't even realize it. We were playing I-Spy in the car the other day - an adventure on its on when you are playing with my 3 year old. For B, whatever she spies is a moving target - it is usually the first answer she likes, or the first thing she sees of the color she randomly picked 5 minutes ago, or as soon as her older sister can convince her that her answer is the right one.

Anyway, yesterday we were playing and the color was "gray" - as in, I spy something gray. Now my "thing" was the fence in the median of the highway. After much thought B says "your hair!". I was like "WHAT??!!!" First of all, my hair is brown. Those parts that are aging are WHITE not gray. I said "My hair is gray??!!!" At this point both girls are laughing hysterically - even though they don't know why - they just think it is funny that I am incensed. B finally says, "no, brown!" - she thought we were looking for something brown.

Perhaps I wouldn't be so sensitive were a BIG birthday not 3 short days away. Actually, I thought it was funny too. Then last night she told me she had sprinkles on her hands. I look and don't see anything. She keeps pointing - I finally realize she meant "wrinkles" from her bath. Good thing she didn't tell me she could see my sprinkles.
