From the mouth of a babe...

Oh, first graders aren't they cute?  I especially like this one:

This week she certainly has said a few things worth remembering:

1-As Dave, Paige and I are leaving a restaurant after dinner.  I mention that I feel so tired and sore.   Dave asks why and I jokingly say, "it must be because I'm fat and lazy."  Paige chimes in and tells me that I am not fat, but I am lazy.  She then tells Dave that he is not lazy but he is fat.  Brutal.

2-After swimming, I spray some detangler in Paige's hair and comb it out.  She starts talking about how she can't believe the detangler works, etc.  At this point, I must admit I have tuned her out a little and am not really listening closely.  She goes on to say that it is like a miracle that the detangler get the snarls out.  I just nod my head and distractedly say, "yep."  Then Paige, says, very seriously, "but it is not like the miracles of Jesus Christ."  That snaps me too and I say, "oh of course not.  Detangler really isn't a miracle."  She says, "I know, Jesus Christ put his finger in a man's ear so he could hear again and he put dirt on man's eyes and told him to wash it off so he wouldn't be blind, those are miracles."

3-Paige tells me that a girl at school told her something and she wants to ask me if it is true.  She and a boy in her class have the same birthday and a girl on the bus told her that means Paige has to marry the boy.  I told her it wasn't true and she could marry whoever she wants.  She says, "oh good, I don't want to marry him, but he can do this."  She then shows me the hand in the armpit fart.

4-Paige went to a Primary activity and they were given a bag of Skittles with the understanding that they could eat one skittle for every 15 minutes they read the scriptures.  At home, she tells me she want to eat the Skittles.  I ask her if she has read the scriptures.  She says no and I say, "but I thought you were supposed to read the scriptures before you eat the Skittles."  To which she screams at the top of her lungs, " I KNOW!  I WANT TO EAT THE SKITTLES BUT I DON'T WANT TO READ THE SCRIPTURES!"  Then she stomps upstairs to her room.  The bright side of this story is that she didn't eat the Skittles.
