Musings From Natalie #72

Natalie: "I can't wait for the half day at school today.  My teacher is probably crying right now."
Me: "Why?"
Natalie: "Because she just loves school."

Natalie: "Can we adopt a kid?"
Me: "Uh, I don't think so."
Natalie: "Why not?...How much do they cost?...They're precious."

While listening to Adele's song, Rumor Has It...
Natalie: "Mom, what is she saying?"
Me: "Rumor has it."
Natalie: "What's a rumor?"
Me: "A story going around."
Natalie: "Aww...I thought she was saying Umer has it.  I was hoping it was a person."
Me: "Hmm...what did you think Umer had?"
Natalie: "A piece of gold or something."

Deep Thoughts from Noah #37

"I really wish we could start school with P.E. then have lunch then have recess then go home.  I really wish that.  Besides lunch is very important."

Musings From Natalie #71

After getting moved for talking in class yesterday...
Me: "How'd school go today?"
Natalie: "Well...I'm still at it."
(Looking on the bright side...at least she's honest.  Maybe her gift for the gab will one day lead to her own radio or T.V. show)

While walking to the playground, Natalie overheard a boy say he hated his sister...
"Mom, he hates his sister?!  That makes my heart burn, I tell you."

Musings From Natalie #70

"After recess my back is like a carnival of sweat!"

"That rollercoaster scared the guts out of me!"

Musings From Natalie #69

Natalie: "Mom, do you think I'm a fairy?"
Me: "Hmmm...you certainly are cute, but I don't see any wings."
Natalie: "Yea, well...they just haven't sprouted yet."

(If you wrapped up a box of horse manure and gave it to her, she wouldn't be upset -- she'd just want to know "where's the pony?")

Deep Thoughts From Noah #36

Me: "Noah!"
Noah: "Stop taking my name in vain."
(Ok, God.  I can take a hint...we haven't been to church in 3 months.  We'll be there today.)

Deep Thoughts From Noah #35

"Mom, what was it that I was going to say? Because Natalie interrupted me and now I forgot."
