Musings from Natalie #11

Natalie: "Taking care of hamsters is such hard work.  I can't possibly feed all of them at the same time." (said while playing her Princess Zhu Zhu Pets video game)
Me: "Hmm...just think how hard it would be if they were real, live pets."
Natalie: "Yeah, do you know the worst thing about taking care of kids?"
Me: "What?"
Natalie: "The whining!"


Natalie: "Mom!  Look at those kids wearing costumes!" (pointing to a group exiting karate class)
Me: "Those aren't costumes.  They are wearing their uniform for karate class."
Natalie: "Oooh! Can I take karate class?"
Me: "I can look into it if you think you'd like it."
Natalie: "Oh yes!  Do you think you could get me a pink belt to wear with the uniform?"


Me: "It's time for you to get a shower."
Natalie: "But I only played outside for a little bit."
Steve: "Well, maybe you just need to take a little shower."
Natalie: "Daddy, you're pushing it."


Natalie: "What's a budget?"
Me: "It's figuring out how much you have to spend your money on."
Natalie: "How 'bout we figure out how to spend our money on a vacation."


"When I'm a Mom I'm going to have two girls.  I'll name one Candy and the other one Sparkle," shared Natalie.
