I always say I'm going to catalog some of the things that come out of my children's mouths, yet I rarely get to do so. Earlier today, however, 7-year old Molly said something that still has me chuckling.
I had picked her up from a birthday party downtown and we were on the subway heading home. She was complaining almost the whole way home about being thirsty as she had not had anything to drink for several hours. She asked me to buy her a bottle of water, but I said that as we were on the subway I could not, and that once we got off the subway we would be home within a matter of minutes so she would just have to wait. I was pleased that she had turned down the soda and lemonade being served at the party (she is relatively health-conscious) but helped her to understand that she could have easily asked for a glass of water.
We were almost at the front door of our building when I asked her if the first thing she was going to do when we got to our apartment was run and drink a gallon of water. She replied, "No, first I'm going to pee. After all, I want to get my money's worth."
She slays me.
