Microphone Monday

A little history:  Layla does not like wearing clothes right now.  Something is always wrong with anything she puts on.  Pants are not warm pants.  Sleeves just aren't right.  Socks have to be just so on her feet.  She won't leave any sort of hair "thing" in her hair.  Something's always wrong with her shirt and her coat and her hood.  Many times she doesn't even wear shoes until we get to wherever we're going and never puts her coat on.  She'll only wear her boots, never her brand new sparkly silver shoes she picked out all by herself and her tennis shoes are ONLY worn on gym days.  Getting dressed, both morning and night and anytime in between, is a nightmare.

Setting:  Saturday night, bedtime.  Mommy & Daddy are tired and not feeling like fighting so decide to let Layla sleep in just her underwear.

Layla:  {Super excited}  Peyton, I get to sleep like a boy tonight.

We didn't know it was reserved for boys and it's not anymore because that was the easiest bedtime we've had in months.

Setting:  Driving in the car, where someone is always thirsty and all I have is half a Sprite for the two of them to share.  Peyton is trying to describe Sprite to Layla so he doesn't have to share.

Peyton:  Sprite tastes like hair going in your mouth or a coffee filter, just trust me.

I wonder, why in the world do you think you know what a coffee filter tastes like, we don't even use them in our house?!?!?
