Driving down the road yesterday on the way to Grandma’s, Marissa decides she needs to spit. The window goes down, she aims, and the next thing I hear is "Ewe!" I look over to see "it" dripping from the seat belt. I say to her, "What made you think that was going to work?" Without hesitation she says, "Because I watched Daddy."
OK, there are a lot of great things to emulate in her dad and I’m not sure why she chose spitting.
I have two things to conclude from this: They (my daughters) are always watching and they (my daughters) are boys…I’m just about sure of it because I did not raise girls to do this!
A little more training and she’ll be winning competitions.
When the kids were little, we had moles in our backyard. Craig had read, probably from a ‘reputable source’ on the internet, that to get rid of moles, you could pee on the mole hills. Daddy did it, so, guess what the kids did? You guessed it! All day long for a few weeks! It never did get rid of the moles, but I think it helped my daughter with her potty training!
Girls need to be more like boys! Some days our household is more like a scene from Shrek … and the laughter and humor which comes along with it … I love it!
Lisa,
Hilarius! I’m relieved to hear our house isn’t the only one like Shrek…you don’t want to know what goes on at our dinner table-ugh! It is too fun though:)
Hey Michelle,
What a funny story! Oh the things I have to look forward too raising girls. My 3 year old Adaya, says “Dude, that was a good one” when she burps! Where do you think she got that? I miss your girls really bad. I love looking at the pictures- wow they sure have grown into little beauties!
Just blame it on Karen….she raised Scott so Marissa must have some of her genes. That’s got to be it!
(My husband is Rob Wegner, and I guess he and Scott, your husband, ate hot dogs together at the PD conference. I felt slightly guilty, but I opted out of the hot dogs for a quiet lunch by myself in the hotel. )
I have 3 daughters, and all 3 of them are more like their dad than me. What does this mean? Your story made me laugh, because I see the girls picking up on funny things their dad does all the time. I think we even had the “spit out the window, land on my face” thing happen a few times…children are precious. :0)
