Before school yesterday Hannah announced that her and her friend Gillian would be moving to California to become UTube Video stars. They would be having 4 dogs and two other pets, maybe cats. When I said the apartment might get a little stinky she said it would be a 3 bedroom apartment with one room just for the pets. Evidently she isn’t aware of the cost of living in California. XD
H “I better go the bathroom. I don’t want to be stuck in the car again for 30 minutes having to go. That was a DARK DAY.” LOL
While listening to the lyrics of a song “My Momma told me at 7 years old you better make friends or your gonna be lonely” Hannah’s reply? “I can relate”
When being woken up Mommy “rise and shine!” H “Mom, I don’t think I can shine.”
H “I’m just saying” to just about any blunt comment i.e. “Momma, I don’t think you have ever been warm and fuzzy. I’m just saying’.”
H “To be fair, … I did hit him the head with the jump rope” To be fair is a big one. :p
K “I don’t want to go to college.” Me “What are you going to do? Live at home forever?” K “Fine by me.” Me “That’ll change.”
Well Katie had been fighting me for over two years that although the dentist insisted she needed braces and all the X-rays in the world showing a tooth coming in right behind her other permanent tooth she still insisted that she would NEVER get braces. As it happens I told the girls only 3 horse shows per year but low and behold the horse show of horse shows is coming at the end of the year at the convention center no less. She offers a deal… “I’ll get braces if you let me do the horse show!” me… “DEAL!” Here we go!
I ran into one of the girls at the barn where Katie and Hannah ride. She stopped me because she wanted to share with me something funny Katie had said to her. As they were cleaning out one of the stalls Katie asked her “have you ever heard of World War II?” To which the girl replied yes. Then Katie said “yeah that was a bad time for the Jews”. etty much the understatement of the year.
So the girls have been out of school basically for two weeks due to snow and ice. I will have pictures to post shortly. But today was the first day they went back to school. Hannah as usual not wanting to go to school after such a long break fained a stomachache. To which she escalated sore throat and other various symptoms and said I was a horrible mother for sending her to school with the stomach bug. Then she told me they (by they she meant social services) should come and take her away because I was a bad mother for making her go to school. Just thought she might find this funny later on in life. Poor Katie felt bad for me and came into the kitchen to tell me that she really didn’t mean it. To which I replied I knew she did not mean it and not to worry my feelings were not hurt. Both of them are so cute and funny in their own ways.
Hi Ms. McKinney,
I wanted to share something wonderful that happened today….Hannah wanted to share (“publish”) one of her writings with the class, but she wanted me to read it aloud for her. I told her that she would have to be the one to read it to the class, just like the other students. She decided she did not want to do that! I told her that was fine and whenever she felt comfortable, to let me know. It didn’t even have to be today..or next week…just whenever she was ready. Well, during recess she came to me and said she really wanted to share. “Will you help me?”, she asked. I replied “Of course I will! I will be right beside you the whole time!” and we had a heart to heart talk about being nervous in front of others. My daughter was exactly the same way! Hannah told me that she would think about it during lunch and get back to me. Well….she did it! She stood in front of the class and read a story that she wrote! I am beyond proud of her and I knew you would be, too! 🙂
Have a great weekend,
Michelle Rodgers
Another hannahism:
Lily: where is your mom?
Katie: she is in New York
Hannah: yeah, she is taking a bite out of the big apple.
You can’t make this up. 🙂
Daddy helping H with homework: Daddy, “It’s a word problem. Let me read it to you. Tom has 10 marbles…” H, “It’s always about the marbles. sigh” She just cracks me up.
K “Uh Daddy!!! Keep the toilet seat down!!!” Daddy “maybe that was Sunny?” K “Uh Daddy! She’s a girl!”
A couple of things I wanted to remember about Hannah. She’s always so witty and making the funniest comments. Here are just a few: Hannah age 6 John asking Hannah what her favorite activity is. Hannah, “shopping.”
Hannah after seeing her first person drunk the conversation in the car about alcohol and how to drink responsibly: Hannah’s response “who invented alcohol?” My response was of course I don’t know because it was invented long before Jesus was even born, Hannah’s response “Well they should get a spanking!!” I am saving that one for later for sure.
John joking around with Hannah shaking his fist at her, Hannah’s response “Daddy I’m not afraid of your fist. But I am afraid of your hand. I don’t want a spanking!”
I found this when cleaning out the girls backpacks. How sweet is my little girl?
Me to Katie “mommy’s protect their babies.” Katie “yeah by protecting them from the fun.”
Hannah “Fashion is my super power! See my outfit…” She cracks me up and Lord help me when she goes to middle school & up!
My sweet baby gave me this after I went out of town for the weekend to help a friend. Katie truly has the biggest heart.
During one of our ever repetative conversations I was again saying how the girls MUST STOP GROWING! Katie’s response was “next year I will be 9, then I will be 10, then I will be 11, THEN I WILL GET BOOBS!” Lord help me!
