Kids Say the Darnedest Things

Two days ago the five of us were at Walmart to get some staples like milk, butter etc. On this day it was kind of cold, so we were looking for a board game to play that evening. Right in the middle of looking, Amelia announces, "Mom, I have to go to the bathroom! I am going to pee my pants!" Immediately we look for the nearest bathroom. On the way, I am reminding Amelia to tell me these things before it's an emergency. Finally we get to the bathroom and Amelia goes in. She seems to be taking a little longer than usual, so I am wondering if everything went OK. After a couple minutes more she comes out with a forlorn look on her face and she is walking with her legs apart to announce to me that she didn't make it and she peed her pants. I was right in the middle of telling her that that is the reason why she needs to tell me sooner, when she flashed a big grin and said, "Just kidding."
Then yesterday while we were in the van, Abigail announced that she had to go to the bathroom. I also had to go, so I said, "Abbey Mommy has to." and then I got interrupted by one of the boys. After the interruption was cleared up, Abbey said, "Mommy, what were you telling me?" I could not remember so I asked her what I was saying. To this Abbey said, "You said that you were going to buy me new clothes." As the words left her mouth I remembered that I was going to tell her that I had to go to the bathroom too. So I immediately cleared things up and when I got home I called David to tell him about Abba's suggestion. He thought it was hilarious.
We were at Orchlan's a couple of weeks ago and they had a shirt there that fit my shoe loving girls to a tee. It said, "Cinderella is proof that shoes can change a girl's life."
