She Totally Gets It

Today LG learned the phonograms “oy” and “oi”. So on the way home from school, we were talking about words that contained those phonograms. For instance, “oy” is in the words boy and toy. And “oi” is in the word oil.

Me: It’s also in the word “avoid”.

LG: What does “avoid” mean?

Me: When you try not to do something.

LG: Oh, like when I avoid cleaning my room?

Me: Exactly.

I hung up the phone call after speaking to my father for a few minutes.

LG: I could tell that you were talking to Grandpa B!

Me: Why, because I had to repeat everything I said several times?

LG: Yep!

After LG’s dance class today, we went to Chick-Fil-A since she could eat free. I got a slice of lemon meringue pie to go along with my meal, and LG started talking about a “lemon meringuetang”. And drew me a picture of one. And how can you not smile about that?

Mike was helping LG get ready for bed and all of a sudden I heard her start crying like it was the end of the world. I went to see what on earth was wrong and here’s the story I got:

Apparently our delicate flower, how shall I put this delicately? Well, she released a gaseous odor from her body shall we say, in the bathroom when her daddy was drying her off from her bath.

So, fast forward to her bedroom where she’s getting her jammies on and here is apparently how the scene played out:

Mike: I have a present for you!
LG: You do?
Mike: It’s just like what you gave me earlier!
LG: What is it?
Mike stands up and released a gaseous odor.
Mike: That was it.
LG: That was it?
Mike: Yeah.
LG: Sob sob sob sob!

I came in the room and she is still crying and I’m trying to figure out what the heck is wrong…

LG: *sob* That’s not a present! *sob*

At which point Mike and I both totally crack up. Oh, maybe you had to be there, but trust me, it was hilarious. Especially when I looked at Mike and said “Bad bottom!” and she started laughing, too. ;)
