G Conversations

Taken at the children's museum today. I did the face paint with the paint sticks available.

Last night when I picked her up from VBS, "Did you have a snack?"

G: "Yes."

Me: "What did you have?"

G: "Something and something I don't know the name for it."

Me: "Well, what did it have in it?"

G: "Oh yeah, a cheese grill samwich and something wike chips but it wasn't chips."
Me: "Did you have pretzels?"

G: "Um, it had pretzels in it."
Me (Aha moment): "Was it a party mix?"
G: "Well, it wasn't a pahrty, just Bible school."
Me: "Um right. Did you eat it?"
G: "Well, I ate three bites."

Me: "So you don't need supper because you had a grilled cheese for supper?"
G (getting upset): "Well, dat's not suppuhr, I've had grilled cheese for wunch before. I need a big dinner, from Sonic."

Me: "Oh okay so you want a corndog and fries?"

G: "Yes."

So we get the kids meal. We get home and G says after eating 3 fries and no corndog, "I'm done."

Me: "Oh, the heck you are done!! If you don't eat that corndog tonight, you will be eating it for breakfast." Evening deteriorated quickly after that, and G had corndog for breakfast.

There wasn't a note about the church feeding them supper during VBS. I am only getting G's version of snack time. When I was in VBS 30(cough, cough) years ago we only had cookies and coolaid no lunch or supper.

This morning as I tried to wake her up for our appointment.

Me: "Wake up, time to get up. Are you ready for your corn dog?"

G: "I'm still sweepy."
Me: "You know if you would go to sleep earlier you can get up in the morning."

G: "Well, I caann'tt go to sweep. My bones won't let me."

Me: "Your bones?"
G: "Yes. My bones stay awake at night and go to sweep in the morning. See, they're asweep."

Me: "Well, you can go to sleep in the car on the way to the appt."
G: "No, see, the car seat is not scwunchie like a bay-ed is."
