#1 funny.. Maybe you had to be there?
Listening to Pandora @ lunch time w. the girls. They requested The Beatles station, because.. even they will tell you.. they loooove The Beatles. The Who- Behind Blue Eyes, came onto the station. First thing the girls say is HEY this is NOT the Beatles.. they listen closely..
%% no one knows what its liiiiike to be the bad man%%
they whip around to look at each other and simultaneously shout
"TO BE THE BATMAN!!!???"
Loved. It.
#2 cute.. Kids say the darnedest things.
my favorite quotes of the day usually occur when the girls are playing alone, or together, and do not think I am listening/ can hear them. Today, M & A were busy at play with their new action figures. M has a new, small Iron man that comes w. an awesome little car he rides. She decided he needed a theme song.. so she begins singing:
"Iron man, Iron man.. does whatever an Iron man can.
Shoots his lasers up in the... sky?
.. zooms up high.. just like a fly.
Look ooouuut here comes the Iron maaannn"
((COUGH- Spider man theme song rip off-COUGH))
A: Wow M, that was really great. I like his new theme song.
M: Thanks, I know. I think were going to be famous!!!
I need a video camera implanted into my body. If I could record the unsuspecting funny moments, being a nanny would just be a part time job... along w. my many book signings and comic hours based off this GOLD provided by my genius kids I work with- people ate up AFV for years (still are, I think??)
This stuff = WAY BETTER!!!

stories of the best kind.
So.. I have forgotten all about writing on my blog. I don't feel like I have many things I want to write down these days... except.. awesome little stories and one liners from the kids I work with. I realize this has been the majority of my blog thus far- so I think I will make it just that. Stories of the best kind; real and uncut ideas/ actions from the fabulous, sensational, outrageously awesome.. our youth!
Here is one story from last week (2/18/11)
The girls M & A were having a play date w. our friend E. Shes a good friend, around the same age (just turned 5). She is more of a girlie-girl then M & A, which can make picking a game difficult at times
(( we want to play superheros!! 'I want to be a princess!!' ))
This particular day was great- everyone was getting along, sharing ideas and enjoying themselves.
They decided to turn the den into a spooky haunted house.
-'A' was at the entrance of their scary masterpiece. She held a pirates sword and was acting as a 'machine pirate' (she called herself) swinging a sword back and forth at the door. This made it difficult to enter- she said it was to make people nervous to come into the haunted house. I acted accordingly as I entered..
-M was sitting in a dark corner talking into the hole of a broken globe. This made, surprisingly, a creepy, echoing, man-sounding voice. She was pretending to be "Zachariah Ebenezer", warning any intruders off the property of the haunted house. You can hear M, but not really see her, which was quite perfect for her role, I thought. She was giving instructions to 'beat up the pooh' (there was a giant stuffed pooh bear in the middle of the floor I had to defeat before I could move to the next step of the haunted house.) Really awesome, and really funny.. haha 'beat up the pooh'... Ha!
After I beat up the poo(h), I was pounced on by E who had been patiently waiting on the steps that lead from the upstairs down into the den. She was a werewolf, screaming and thrashing and shaking her head every which way. All in all I was very impressed!
I had carried a video camera through so they could see from my view, their rocking haunted house. The girls, were not as impressed as I was- they were excited about it, but thought it could be better. They did not want me knowing the new things they were going to put into the haunted house, so they kicked me out of the den and slammed the door shut for privacy. As soon as the door shuts, I hear a yelp and then cries. E had slammed the door, which had knocked over a set of boards that rest behind said door- as she turned to help plan.. the boards fell onto her poor little face :( She got a scratch on her lip :(
Sooo, in I swoop - -
me: "oh its okay E, its not so bad. We can clean that right up.. no big deal. Lets get some ice.." blah, blah blah..
Hugs, check. Ice, check. Words of encouragement, check. After a few minutes of tending to E's bloody lip, she was still teary-eyed and bummed out she was hurt. In charges 'A'...
A: "E!!! This is GREAT!!"
Me & E : um.. what?
A: Yeah! This is so good, you didn't even know how good it was! In a haunted house things are scary, and dark and disgusting.. like, like.. BLOODY!!! and you're bloody! Good job, E!!"
E: oh.. ya! Hey (asking me) how does it look now?
me: better.
E: Oh... maybe I can scrape something else up now.. we need more blood!
wow. 'A' the superhero, comes to the rescue!
(Ending note- E did not scratch anything else for the 'bloody effect' they were trying to achieve. Instead, they found a stack of red post-its and decided to rip & toss them all over the room. Awesome.)
