Let’s recap a few things Ava has done/said lately. Be prepared to giggle.
After a long, and warm few hours at the park, the ice pack felt so good, so good enough to fall asleep with it on her face.
Me: “Ava, are you in the bathroom?”
Ava: “Yes.”
Me: “Why is the door closed, and locked?”
Ava: “Well, don’t you lock the door when you’re going poop? I NEED PRIVACY!”
“Mama, I kind of feel like I want another cookie right now. Can just this one time I eat it before yucky dinner?” Gee thanks, but no.
“So you’re saying that the big kids are back in school because their mommy’s and daddy’s don’t want them at home anymore?” (while trying to explain how summer is over)
“Mama, a boy brought a frog to school today. It was small and slimy. Kind of like him!” Yep, all boys are small and smily Ava.
“NOLAN! You stop that you little booger you or I will EAT YOU!”
Ava: “Mama can I tell you a story?”
Me: “Sure.”
Ava: “Okay, SO… are you ready?”
Me: “Yep.”
Ava: “Okay, are you SURE you’re ready?”
Me: “I’m ready Ava.”
Ava: “Okay, you tell it.”
“Why isn’t the sky green and the grass blue? Oh, because gorgeous (Jesus) made it that way, huh? Ya.”
Me: “Ava why did you tell grandma and papa that Jesus was in jail?”
Ava: “Because he is. He’s stuck in Heaven.”
