TESTIFY!

Today's comments by Shelby are one of the reasons I have this blog. So I don't forget the little things they say in the middle of the day that maybe aren't 'monumental' conversations, but hilarious nonetheless.
Mornings are really slow for Shelby (yes...she's like her mom in this regard). Eyes half open. Hair a mess. Talks at half-speed. This morning, she slumbered in my bathroom and noticed my hair looked different. Nothing drastic, but it's like her to notice. (My bangs I've been growing out were beyond irritating me so what's a girl to do? Yep...trim 'em right there on the spot.). So she comes in, groggily starts to ask something about her field trip then says, "Hey...you grew your bangs out last night. Good. I like 'em that way.". You know...'cuz when I need more hair, I just pull on it overnight and BAM...new bangs.

Then on the way to school, I tell her to have a great time on her field trip and it turns into:

Shelby: You know we leave the school, right?

Me: Yes. That's why it's called a field trip.

Shelby: Well I knew that, but I wasn't sure you did.

Me: Yep. I knew that.

Shelby: I just wasn't sure because you said to 'have fun' and I just thought 'well of course I'm gonna have fun...I get to leave school. Maybe mom doesn't get it.'


Then tonight:

Shelby: Mom...have you ever been in love?

Me: Of course! Why?

Shelby: I was just wondering. Did you fake it?

Me: What?! No! You don't fake love.

Shelby: Good. 'Cuz romance...well...it's amazing.

Me: Yeeeeeeahhhhh.....I'd agree with that. Who are you being romantic with?

Shelby: MOM! That's personal!


I gotta say...I don't know where she got that but I'm sure glad she believes in it.
