While I am finishing my finals and am unable to post much, I figured I would add a few Charlyisms and tidbits (FB posts) from the past year or so...
---- I have the hardest time giving my two-year-old a time out. She gets in her chair and starts trying to talk her way out of it... "I like your pants, mom!" Seriously?
---- While at Target today, I hear a man yell "Honey, you missed the baby!" So I turned to look and he says to me "My wife saw your daughter from afar and said that she is so pretty that she needs to see how cute the baby is, too." So wife comes running over and oohs and aahs (very respectfully) and tells me she has never seen two more beautiful children and that they both look just so much alike and so much like me. Awwwww. I felt so proud.
Then Charly proceeds to grab a size 12 month dress from the rack and yell (loudly) "HEY! This is the dress I wore back in college!"
Didn't think I could get any "prouder." But I did
---- My "Charlyism" of the evening. She asks for M&Ms at 8pm. I say no, and can sense the temper tantrum about to ensue, but instead she takes a deep breath and says "Mom, you are a freaking hiking shoe!" I had no witty comeback (because WHAT.THE.HELL does that mean), so I just stared blankly. Then she gave me little side smile and said "That was pretty funny, right?"
Yes, Charly. It seems you are being raised with just enough dysfunction to make you funny.
---- Charlyism of the day...
Charly: Are we going to nana and papa's today or tomorrow?
Me: Tomorrow.
Charly: Well we're not going anywhere until I pick up these toys.
