Miss Pip
Aubrey is 100% abounding in personality. She is full of opinions, thoughts, wishes, and demands. She is a tease, a provoker, a director, and a nurturer all rolled into one. Sometimes she makes me wring my hands and shake my head. Sometimes I find myself almost doubled over in laughter at something she has said or done. But always, always, always she keeps me on my toes and is a delight to my heart.
Here is a taste of this crazy awesome girl's dialogue throughout the day:
(And, yes, this is all just from today.)
------------------------------
Me: Why are you getting the stool out?
Aubrey: This is not the time to ask, "Why?" Mama. Just obey.
------------------------------
Aubrey: *talking and jabbering at me as I do my work*
Me: *generally not paying attention to my constant companion*
Aubrey (completely exasperated and putting her hands on her hips): Are you jus' not understan'in' me, Mama, or are you ignorin' me?
------------------------------
Me: Tell Jackson you're sorry and ask him to forgive you.
Aubrey: But I not sorry!
------------------------------
Me: Don't you want to learn to use the potty and stop wearing diapers, Aubrey?
Aubrey: Nope, I will be a baby still.
------------------------------
Aubrey: Kids! You are all not obeyin' me!
------------------------------
Aubrey: I wanna bite, Mama! I wanna bite!
Me: Aubrey, you are whining at me.
Aubrey (sniffling and trying to regain composure): Mama, I please have a bite?
Me: No, Aubrey. You already had your lunch. This is Mama's lunch.
Aubrey: Mama! You must share with me!
------------------------------
Aubrey (to Claire): Clai-re, Clai-re. You the prettiest baby, Clai-re!
Aubrey (to me): Claire is laughin' at me, Mama! She thinks I'm funny! She loves me, Mama! See? See?

What delightful conversation! What a joy she must be. I enjoy hearing about that beautiful wonderful little girl.
ReplyDeleteAs to the ring - well I lost the diamond out of my ring. He sent it out and had it replaced and then Nathan found the diamond under the cushions on their couch. So we had that set and now I have two engagement rings It was funny how he found it. He said, "Mom, come and see this looks important!" And it was. I hope your ring turns up in the most unexpected place. Love to All Gram
She is way too cute!

ReplyDeleteThanks for dinner, too. It was awesome, Brietta. What a kind thing for you to bless my family with dinner when you weren't even feeling well yourself. Just like you to do it! Thanks again. Love you and yours.
P.S. Did Daniel tell you that Bradley came running when he heard "Mr.Paladin was at the house!" He ran in all out-of-breath and shouted, "Hi Mr. Paladin! You're a pastor now and I heard my dad say that and remember that time you went to a real football game?" I'm sure Daniel didn't make out what he said but I thought it was very funny. and RANDOM.
What a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteI just had a blast reading this...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing..

love it!!! you still need to get that little voice recorded, though.
ReplyDeletebecause as funny as those quotes are (and they're hysterical!), they're
even funnier when you picture mini fran drescher saying "are you
ignorin' [big slurpy intake of breath] me mama?"

ReplyDeleteI have been laughing all day at this one: "Are you jus' not understan'in' me, Mama, or are you ignorin' me?"
