In the meantime I'll leave you with a little conversation that I overheard (ie stood very, very quietly at the door and listened in on) today. I love eavesdropping on my kids and their friends. Until I hear something that I'm not ready to deal with yet. Nothing scares the shit out of a parent more than "overhearing" a bunch of eight year old boys talk about "humping". It made me feel better that my son's part in the conversation was just enough to convince the others he knew what he was talking about, and just enough to convince me that he didn't. A good thing? Maybe not. But I think I would have puked if he was any more knowledgeable. Like I said, fine lines.
Conversation between Brady, Grace and Neighbor Girl while playing with blocks:
(Not that "Neighbor Girl" doesn't warrant a name, I just want to protect her identity. Keeps lawsuits down.)
Keep in mind that during this entire exchange you could hear the click and clack or wood hitting wood - they never actually stopped playing with the blocks.
Neighbor Girl: I'm gonna knock yours down Grace.
Grace: You're mean Neighbor Girl. Stop being mean or you'll leave.
Brady: Yeah Neighbor Girl, stop being mean or we'll make you leave.
Neighbor Girl: You can't make me leave I'll hit you.
Brady: My Mom can make you leave. She's really strong.
Grace: Yeah.
Brady: She's really strong and she's got muscles.
Grace: Yeah, she's got muscles.
Brady: She exercises at the gym and she's got strong muscles.
Grace: Yeah.
Brady: She's got one thousand fifteen muscles. She went to the hospital and asked them how many muscles she has and they said she has one thousand fifteen. She's very strong. Stronger than you.
Grace: Yeah, and, and, and, and you better be nice.
Neighbor Girl: OK. (Eye roll)
Well I didn't actually see the eye roll but I'm sure it was there. And no, it isn't your imagination, Grace did sound a bit like Rain Man.
Oh, and she's right. I have been working out pretty hard. Trying to get healthy and all that. Here's a pic of me at the gym.
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful,

Oh and while I was busy with that rather quick and crappy cut and paste job, my video finished uploading.
Brady's performance in a school play...The Aboriginal Story of Tiddilick.
Long story short, it's about some great big enormous frog that eventually turned into a mountain (I think). Brady was one of the narrators. She is number 6 in line and wearing a silver Koala hat. Her lines...
Tiddilick stuck his head into the water and drank up allllll the water in the billibong. But Tiddilick was still thirsty.
Keep those lines in mind and enjoy the show...
