Some of the funniest stories happen in the morning on our way to school, I'm in full zombie mode just happy that we've almost survived another day, and your little brains are already up and running.
Today I have two new favorites to add to the collection in my head.
First, I hear Parker admiring a piece of schoolwork that Payton had left in the car. I thought it was a little funny, because although I know Parker admires Payton, she hardly ever acknowledges that Payton is older or her work is more complicated. So, I hear her asking Payton something along the lines of "Wow, you did all this?", to which Payton answered, "yeah, well, some of it was there and I did the rest". Here's the funny part, Parker, still impressed, "Did you get a STAR??" "Well, in SECOND GRADE, we don't really do it like that, we don't really get stars". Which is hysterical, because Payton is always putting stars on her own homework and papers, even before she returns them to school, so she is definitely still seeing stars at school and considers them a job well done.
A few minutes later Payton asks me if I can shave her legs when we get home. "Uh, WHAT?? Why would I do that?" She informed me that she can see hair on her legs. I wanted to answer I didn't do that until I was in college, but of course that would be an outright lie, so I go with "I didn't do that until I was a teenager!", which in my mind was practically the same answer, but probably also somewhat of a lie. Not so much to Miss Payton. Her response was that she's "ALMOST a teenager, only 6 more years and that's not very long." Then she laughed at her self a little and corrected herself that maybe it is a little while still.
