Audrey’s Corner

Last night was one of those nights. You know the ones I am talking about. The ones where everything you touch explodes in your face. One of the things was supper so I had to go to plan B and order a pizza. Audrey rode with me to go get it and when we left she noticed the flowers that were blooming in the yard across the street and commented how pretty they were. A few minutes later we passed a couple more houses that have perfectly manicured yards and my ever observant daughter says to me, “Some people that live in houses don’t have kids. They have really pretty yards.” I couldn’t help laugh and even though there were about 10 things I wanted to tell her, I just agreed with her. Cause she’s right, really.

Then while we were eating supper and discussing James Bryant’s upcoming t-ball season, her daddy asked her if she wanted to play this time. She shook her head and said “No, I will just watch.” I asked her why not, it would be a lot of fun and then named a few of her friends who played last year. And this was her reply: I don’t want to play cause it’s hot and I will get sweaty. I don’t like to sweat. WHAT???!!!!

I wanted to die laughing, like literally lay out on the floor laughing because she’s 5!!! She’s 5 and she doesn’t want to sweat?!?! And then I wanted to ask her who’s child was she?? Because she certainly did not get her disdain for breaking a sweat from her father nor her mother. I’m still shaking my head at this one!!
