Where do they come up with this stuff?
So I am sitting here surfing the internet. (Passing time until it is time to pick up the Benhams at the airport.) Anyway, I overhear an interesting exchange between Payton and Hayden. They are playing with the dollhouse. Payton is the mom and the daughter. Hayden is the dad and the son. Here it is:
Son: She punched me. (refering to daughter)
Dad: Go to the corner. (to the daughter)
Son: I am kicking you out of this family!!
Payton: Um, Hayden, kids can't kick each other out of the family. Only parents can do that.
Hayden: OK
Dad: Go see your mother. (to the daughter)
Payton: Hayden, the dad can't tell the daughter to go see the mom. The mom has to call her.
Hayden: OK
Mom: Come here. (to daughter)
Mom: Don't hit your brother.
Mom: (to dad) You have to give her a taste of her own medicine.
Dad: OK (Hayden makes dad pretend to give daughter some medicine.)
Payton: No Hayden. A taste of her own medicine means that you have to punch her so that she knows how it feels.
I don't know where they hear this stuff or why they interpret it the way they do. My best guess is the cultural refinement classes they take via TV from Cartoon Network and Nick Jr. Hey, if nothing else, it increases their vocabulary.
Now, its been five minutes since this little exchange. So now they are arguing over whether or not to play Thundercats.
As a side note-Hayden spends a great deal of her day making observations about the world around her. Her recent musings include:
*Gabriella sings better than Sharpay.
*She really likes a missionary at church. Not the one that plays the ukelele. Not the one with the glasses. And not the one with the light peach skin. The other one. He is handsome and she really likes him but I am not allowed to tell him.
*Hayden does not think she is beautiful unless she is wearing her dress-up Ariel wedding dress.
*We shouldn't go in any boys bathrooms because they are GROSS!
That's all for today. I am sure she will have many more enlightening things to say tomorrow.

She's right about the gross boy's bathrooms. Boys are yucky bathroom users. Especially Lance...he pees "near" the toilet. I'm gonna start making him sit down.
Okay...I'm waiting for some new pictures and cute stuff about your girls. Pony up!
SIL - you crack me up! Such an excellent commentary. You should go on Leno with that.
