The Humiliation of Car Seats...
Today Rayna vehemently proclaimed amidst a torrent of indignant tears, "I'm getting TALL and I'm going to be sixty ninety-four because THAT'S why I don't want to sit in a BABY seat anymore!!!!"
(I think this child has been reading Junie B. Jones, or something! Then funny thing is that I disliked the grammatical massacring in the Junie B. Jones books so much, that when I read them aloud to Darcy, I always secretly CORRECTED the grammar--'reading' things that were NOT written on the page. Darcy was shocked the first time she read one of the books on her own--around age four--because, Junie B. was nothing like her mother had made her sound!) So, my retribution?...God gave me a child who could have been the dialogue MODEL for Junie B! My four year old is every bit as melodramatic as Junie B. ever dreamed of being...and just as colorful with her language destruction! ¶ 8/08/2006 03:00:00 PM
