Do you remember ...

Kaitlyn always asks if I remember obscure events from her short 6.5 years of life. Sometimes these "memories" are from her infancy, that she "remembers" because she's seen a photo.

Today she wanted to know if I remembered when we still lived in Brooklyn and she was sick so she didn't want to go downstairs, she only wanted to stay in my bed and watch TV.

I had no idea what she was talking about. So I attempted to make a point.

"Kaitlyn, do you remember when Grandma and I were trying to talk but we couldn't hear each other because you and Abby were so loud?"
She began to say, "Nnn" (Point would have been made.) But Abby interrupted and said, "Hey, that happens every day!"

And indeed it does!

Daisy says snack

and she wants one now!! She doesn't need patience, she needs a snack! There is no time to waste and there I am bothering her to speak.

Duh!!!

My mother bought me a bunch of Neuhaus bars for my birthday. Under any other circumstances, they would have been gone quickly. However, in the summer, I don't care for chocolate. The inconsistent weather makes them bloom and within a day, even the best quality chocolate is ruined.

Yesterday, I pulled out the bag, picked out a dark chocolate raspberry and split up among my little ladies.

Kaitlyn could not stop saying, "mmm, mmmm, mmmmmm."
So I asked, "Is it good? Do you like it?"
Maddy replies, "Du-uh!"

Can someone please tell my children to act their age?!
I feel like I'm arguing with a teen sometimes when I'm talking to Apani.
Maddy...really? Duh? Come on! You're only 2!
And Daisy is rolling her eyes. I'm in over my head...
