Out of the mouths of babes...and stupid people.

McKenna has her cute friend Katelin over and I ask them if they want to go downstairs to play because I needed to sort through some clothes. I tell them I'm going to be just a second behind them because I need to go grab the phone to bring down with me. This is what I hear as they go down the stairs:

McKenna: "My mom is always making phone calls. All she does is yak on the phone."

So apparently, I'm a yakker (is that a word?). Honestly, I don't feel like I'm always on the phone but I guess to a five year old, I am.

Then I found this nice letter on my friend Kelly's blog. This is where "stupid" comes in. I hope you don't mind Kelly, but I thought this was great.

Hurrah! How true! That was good! I love the last line, 'try to understand or keep your snit to yourself!' Boy, I think the person who wrote in asking for advise came from the planet 'self indulgant! She needs to be a nanny for one week 24/7! She'd come away with a whole new 'joyful' perspective! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Love ya!
Mom :o)
