Joining Jen for another week of Seven Quick Takes.
We used to call our daughter, Maura Moviestar, because she is full of life, dramatic, and loves being the center of attention. Lately, it seems like a better name for her might be Maura Comedienne because she has been coming up with some doozies. Here are a few of her latest one-liners.
--1--
When talking about Griffin getting to be a big boy...
Maura: He's almost a big boy. He just needs to learn to use the potty, right?
Me: Yes. I'm tired of changing diapers.
Maura: Me too.
Me: (pause)...but you don't change diapers...
Maura: No, but I'm tired of watching you change them.

Maura crawls into our bed early one morning and puts her ice cold feet on my back.
Me: Ahhh, go get some socks. Your feet are freezing.
Maura: Am I making you colder?
Me: Yes.
Maura: (indignant) Well, you're making me hotter!

After seeing Mike with his shirt off...
Maura: Daddy, your back needs a haircut.
--4--
After telling Maura to stop yelling at her little brother...
Maura: Sorry Mom, I was just pretending to be a mommy.
--5--
While getting undressed...
Maura: Excuse me, Mommy. I need privacy, please.
Me: What if I just turn my head?
Maura: But you have eyes in the back of your head too.

Random.
Maura: A dragon wouldn't make a very good pet.

Yelling from the potty--
Maura: Hey Mom, want to hear a joke?
Have a great weekend!
