So, Addy's new favorite thing to do? Lock doors. She has locked us out of the house before. Locked herself in the car. But her very most favorite locking trick to do is lock a door on her way out and then close it. We have had some very close calls of people needing to use the facilities and not being able to get into the actual facilities. Good thing this is a new house and we still know where the little tiny "key" things are to the bathroom and bedroom locks. Otherwise we'd be in a heap of trouble.
I had this thing this weekend where I was talking in a southern accent and I couldn't stop. It lasted for days. I was really getting on every one's nerves, including my own. I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't control it. Yesterday we were at my mom's house and Sam kept saying, "STOP! You don't have an accent." And I was like, "Well, I AM from Texas. I really COULD have an accent. What if this WAS my normal way of speaking? Then what would you do? Huh?" Emily decided that she was going to yell everything she said if I was going to southern accentuate everything I said. Steve thought that was an excellent idea. He told Emily not to stop yelling her words until I stopped accenting mine. I was like, please. I have been listening to her yell everything she says for nine years. I think I can beat her out. Thankfully I woke up this morning speaking in my regular old voice. I seriously had no control over it.
Aubrey is obsessed with loosing teeth. Oh my gosh. I know that the only reason she lost her first tooth is because she was wiggling it for 2 whole years before it fell out. She is convinced that her top front tooth is about to fall out any minute. She keeps making me wiggle it. I'm like, Aubrey, I don't want to stick my fingers in your mouth. And she gets all exasperated and says, "MOM! JUST WIGGLE IT! LOOK! IT'S SO WIGGLY!" So I wiggle it. Or I put my fingers on either side of it and move my fingers (there ain't no wiggle ta that there tooth) (whoa! I thought that accent was gone). Anyhoo, I "wiggled" it and she said, "See mom. How long do you think it will be before it falls out?" And I'm like, "I'm sure it will fall out anytime in the next (cough) year or two.
You know how there are some movies that you have just seen so many times that it doesn't matter how long it has been since you last saw it, if you even see just a flash of it when you are changing channels, you feel like your eyeballs are gonna start bleeding. Last night I turned on the TV and there, right before my bleeding eyeballs, was Twister. AHHHHHHH!!!! I could not change the channel fast enough.
You know what McDonalds is giving out in their Happy Meals? Kids Bop CD's. Someone just kill me now. As if some of those songs weren't irritating enough. Hearing a chorus of 20 high pitched kids singing, "Nobody gonna love me bedda. I gotta stick wit chue fo-eva." SHUT UUUUUP!
I just finally got around to watching the premiere of Glee. OH! I LOVED it. How do they expect me to wait for fall for the series to start?

Dude I can hear your fake southern accent and i think i would have hit you after a whole weekend of it. Just kiddding. Your fake accent is one of the reasons i love you so much. But I probably still would have hit you.
And oh my goodness!!!!!!! Those kids bop cds are the WORST!!!!! Owen was so excited to get one in his happy meal that he insisted we listen to it in the car on the way home. lets just say his cd found the trash can real fast. Is there anyone who actually enjoys those? And why are people having kids sing those songs? Seriously. Does that some how make them suitable for young children? Whew, Sorry. I needed to get that out.
I still have a little Texas accent, but get me talkin to my sister or brother and boy does it come out. Just thinking about Texas gives me a HUGE twang. Oh my coworkers will love me when I come back in a few weeks!
I can't wait for GLEE to start either! Dang them for showing a sneak peek so far in advance.... And I'm with my mom, I will definitely start talking Texan when we go on Saturday!! I can't wait!!
I'm so jealous. Y'all have fun in TX, now, ya hear?
Kristy, why so violent? Please, don't hit me. And Dude, I know, I was thinking the same thing. Let's get a bunch of kids to sing these horribly trashy songs and it will make them sound like they are ok for kids to listen to? What's up with that?
Ally- I did the EXACT same thing with Twister. I was flipping channels and it came on and WOAH! I changed the channel fast.
I can also hear your fake accent that is a horrible attempt to sound Texan. Sorry, I said it. It is true.
And well, those kid bop cds are my favorite. I have all of them and listen to them while I work out, drive in the car, clean the house, swim in the pool, work, give kids baths, mow the lawn, eat dinner, go potty, walk the dog, take out the trash,etc.
I laughed so hard (especially about the Kidz Bop CDs), I called in my oldest daughter to read it as well. You're so funny. I wonder what the criteria was for choosing the songs they chose for those CDs. Somehow, the kids chorus is so...incongruous...which makes them hilarious.
