Aromatics

Lucy eats just about anything we are snacking on. She "NEEDS" a bite. I was eating a piece of swiss cheese and Lucy was desperate for a bite so I held it out for her to take a bite and she put her mouth on it and then took it off and gave me a dirty look. She asked to smell the cheese, so I held it out and she gave it a sniff-sniff and said "that cheese is stinky." I guess I know what to eat when I don't want to share! :)

Tonight when we were waiting in my room for Yaya to get home and all of a sudden Lucy piped up and said "What is that stinky smell?" I told her I didn't know what she was talking about, what smell? She said "It smells like Yaya's feet, EW!" You will all have to ask Yaya about her feet and the story of the car ride and me and Yaya's feet.

Lucy has started speaking her mind about EVERYTHING. She has recently told people that they have a "big belly," and has told me "he is a grouchy man," and "that man looks mean." Now, if you continue reading this you have to promise to NOT tell Grandma Nina what Lucy said. Two weekends ago I was headed to GMa Nina's to pick her up for dinner and Lucy says to me "Grandma Nina has crazy hair." I said "you would never tell her that though, right?" Lucy was a perfect angel and said "No." So I think, we're in the clear and that I've nipped the hair comments in the bud, but this Sunday while we're out to eat Lucy said "her hair is white!" Luckily it was quiet enough that Grandma Nina didn't hear. :)

I never should have said anything like this in front of her, but late this summer Papa was grilling out and he asked me to put a beer in the freezer for him. When he grills he likes to "chill" and that means drinking a beer. He was complaining because the only beer we had in the fridge was left over from some that I had bought awhile back and it was light beer. Well, as I was getting it out of the fridge Lucy asked me what it was. I told her it was light beer and stuck it in the freezer, end of story...or so I thought. Well a few weeks later we were out to eat at Los Jardines and a gentleman across the aisle from us was drinking a Corona. Lucy starts saying (rather loudly) what sounds like "white beard, that man has a white beard." Well, Yaya starts getting flustered and shushes her thinking that this man may get offended that Lucy is pointing out his graying hair and facial hair. Well, once I figure out what's going on, I realize what Lucy is really saying is "Light beer, that man has a light beer." This kid doesn't forget anything! A week ago Lucy sees a bottle of wine on the counter in the Kitchen and asks me, "is that a light beer?" Seriously, she has a better memory than an Elephant! (We aren't a bunch of booze-hounds, I promise!)

Tonight Lucy was talking to Aunt Lynn on the phone and she was saying something that wasn't true, so I said "are you telling a lie?" I said it quietly I might add. Lucy turned around, gave me a dirty look, and said "Shhh! I'm on the phone!" Oh goodness, if this is a preview to teenage phone monopoly I don't know what I'll do.

Picture this. Lucy has just gotten in trouble for throwing a fit and she is sitting on the couch and taking time to calm down. All of a sudden I hear "Megan? Megan?" Yes Lucy? "Megan I miss you." Oh goodness.

That's all I can think of for now.
