"Where the hell?"

Yesterday, I gave Robin and Abby a new Wii game... Robin looked over at it and said "where in the hell did you get that??".

============================================

Last night, I asked Robin to tell mommy what she had told me about her cousin Owen (she'd said "I love Owen - he's my boyfriend. And Owen said it was OK, because we are cousints (that's how she says "cousins").  I guess she was embarrassed to tell Beth for some reason.  So I said I wouldn't tell her, and as we left her room, she said "Don't you dare tell her.  If you tell her, I will be extremely angry!".

============================================

That same night, Robin had been over hanging out with her cousins.  She was in the kitchen with her big cousin Owen and Auntie Jill.  She looked over at Owen with an ultra cool expression on her face and said "A girl at school told me that homework really sucks"...  she so wants to be a teenager...

"The bestest day of my life!"

Abby woke up this morning and barges into the room:

"Daddy, today is the bestest day of my life. Want to know why? I have piano, a spelling test and estimation jar!" - wow.... neeeerddddd... lol

Robin, out of the blue yesterday:

"Daddy, when I grow up, I'm never going to smoke. And when I do, I'm not going to throw them on the ground."

That's... great... Rob.

The Sound of Robin

Tonight, Robin was mouthing off and so we were getting very stern and lecturing her about respect, speaking properly to adults etc. I left the room and Beth continued talking to her. Robin turned around and looked at her and said "What is this? The Von Trapp family?".

Robin and Abby are going with Beth, Gram and Nana to the Sound of Music this Sunday and we had shown them the movie once a couple of weeks ago (Robin didn't even seem that interested in the movie at the time...). As Gram said, good luck to her future teachers...

Don't take your eyes off them!

From Gram:

The girls were in the pool late this morning, and I left Banka as life guard saying "Don't take your eyes off them!!!" I went into the house to make lunch. Through the open window, I could hear the girls saying "Watch this, watch me" etc. etc. Then Abby said, "Banka, Gram said not to take your eyes off us!"

:)

Holy Crow

Gram and Banka were babysitting last night, and I received this report today from Gram:

Last night I said "Holy Crow!" to which Robin said "That's not nice!". I explained to her that a crow was just a black bird, and there wasn't anything wrong with saying Holy Crow. Then she said....."It's better than saying "Holy Vagina eh?"

Girls Stories

Some recent funny stories...

Robin was talking to Beth about a girl in school that gets a lot of time outs, and Beth asked about a recent example. Robin said "She said the 'F' word... the 'Fuh...' word, I'm not going to see it, but she said the 'Fuh...' word".

Right, got it Robin.

===================================

I was on the front steps tying my shoes, while the girls were in the garage. Suddenly I hear what sounded like raccoons fighting in the garage, and then Robin bursts into a wailing scream. I walk (slowly) over to the garage, and see Robin holding her arm, like she had a new "injury" there. I said "Abby, did you hurt your sister", she says "YES.. but she said the 'F' word... and I don't mean 'Freakin'!'"... I went around the corner to hide my laughter.

===================================

Robin said to Tita today "When is Mommy going to be home so I can be bad?"

===================================

Yesterday, at the park, about 20 minutes after I had left for Reno for a couple of days, Robbie was sulking on a bench. With her lip quivering she said to Beth "I am not going to play without my Daddy"

Two Robin Stories

Circle time at nursery school, Robbie was sitting with Selina's Mom, Linda. Whenever there is a duty parent (it's a co-op nursery school where parents participate in running the school and volunteering as duty parents), Robin seems to think that duty parent is there for her - so she engages them in non-stop conversation - yeah, she's a bit of a talker. So, Robin was chatting to this duty parent, Linda, about all the things going on in her life - Abby riding a two wheeler, Robin riding a one wheeler with no training wheels, her dinner plans for later on that evening etc. Linda kept trying to get her to be quiet but she kept talking. Finally, her teacher Mrs. Fisher, who had been talking to the rest of the class in the circle, told her "Robin, if you're not quiet, you're going to have to leave the circle!". Robin barely glanced at Mrs. Fisher, then looked back at Linda with a knowing look on her face, and said "Can you believe that?"

=======================

Today in the car, Robin hit Abby first. Then, Abby hit Robin. Robin screamed. Abby did not. Beth assumed that Abby hit first and was scolding her when she realized that Robin had started it. When Beth got mad at Robin, she cried in a very wimpy voice "But Mommy, I'm only 3 and a half. I'm not even 4 yet. I'm only little!"

Remy the Thief

The girls and I had the rats out last night - we block off the family room doorway, bring down the cage and let them run around the family room downstairs.

Robbie was sitting cross legged and she had a big raw carrot that she was eating in her hand. She kept picking up Remy and I kept telling her to put Remy down until she was finished eating her carrot because I didn't want rat germs getting on her carrot.

So she was arguing with me blah blah..., she puts Remy down and kept talking, arguing...

Then Remy came over, snatched this huge carrot out of her hand and ran away with it under the couch!

Abby and I were killing ourselves... Robbie started crying. Then she says:

"I hate that rat!"

then....

"She's a little f*ck!"

Then I washed her mouth out with soap....
