Conversations #7


Conversation with Gracie, who is looking thru a fashion magazine:
Gracie; "Gramma, I could never in a million years have this. Ever. I know I can’t get this."
Me: "What is it?"
Gracie: "This! I really, really want this, and I know I cant have it."
Me:"Listerine mouth wash? Its an ad for Listerine."
G:racie" Oh....Never mind. I bet I will NEVER get a surf board."
Me: "Why cant you get a surf board?"
Gracie: "Because.. I DONT SURF!"
Me: "Anything else you wanna be negative about?"
G:racie "Well, my chap stick broke."
I get the feeling that the only thing that will turn her frown upside down is a trip to Walmart.

Conversation with Gracie:
Gracie: "Duke said he had staples..in his STOMACH!"
Me: "Maybe he had an operation."
Gracie: "Well, I don't know what an operation is, but it must be BAD! Maybe he had a surgery...."

"Situation" at Gracies school, after her friend was tackled by a boy, hurting her leg and making her cry:
Gracie: "You should hug my Gramma. Her hugs are really warm."

Random comments by random kids at Gracie's school during one on one word testing:
"My brain is huuge! See?"

"My grandma is DEAD. Are you a grandma too?"

"Old. O.L.D Hey, you're old!"

"When two vowels go walkin', the first does all the talkin'!

"I'm good at reading! I can read with my eyes closed!"


Conversation with a random kid at Gracie's school who stood up, bent over, and put her head on her knees as we start to read:

Conversation with Gracie as we are in separate bathroom stalls at the bowling alley:
Me: "Gracie I don't have any toilet paper. Can you spare a square?"
Gracie: Nnnope!"
Me: "I am stranded over here!"
Two squares of attitude then slid ACROSS THE FLOOR. Someone needs a nap!

Conversation with Gracie in Barnes and noble as she chooses a dinosaur book:

Gracie: "Gramma, have you SEEN my brain? I like all sortsa stuff."

Conversation with Gracie: "Gramma want a piece of healthy gum?"
Me: "I don't think there is such a thing as healthy gum."
Gracie: "It had a picture of oranges, kiwi and lemons on it. IT IS HEALTHY!"

Quote from Gracie: "I don't like pinky swears anymore. I like Cross your heart, hope to die, stick a needle in your ...EYE! Because then...you REALLY have to do it!"

Quote from Gracie: "You can NEVER have enough pretty, even if you're pretty!"

Conversation with Milo Penning:
Milo: "Gunsmoke is a wholesome family show!"
Me: "Right. Because all wholesome family shows center around a wh*re house."
Milo "What!?"
Me: "What do you think Miss Kitty was?"
Milo: "A saloon owner..."
Me: "Yes. And she had girls...what do you think they were selling?"
Milo: "Drinks."
Me: "YOU KNOW WHAT THEY WERE SELLING! Miss Kitty was a Madame!"
Milo: "No she wasn't...."
We can continue this debate ALL DAY LONG....haha

Conversation with Gracie;
Me: "What if your mom was president?"
Gracie: "my mommy? She can't be president."
Me: "Why not?"

Question from Grace " So gramma, say my dad became president, does that mean we can, I mean all my family, live in the penthouse?"

Conversation with Gracie:

Gracie: "God!"

Conversation with Gracie while doing yoga and instead, starts playing with the yoga ball.
Me: "Gracie, stop batting the ball around. We are doing yoga!"
Gracie: "But gramma, IT IS A YOGA BALL! I AM doing yoga!"

Conversation with Gracie, who now keeps a list of who she loves, in order. To her, being moved to the bottom could be the worst thing EVER in your life:

Gracie: "Gramma, Grandpa made me mad!"
Me: "Why?"
Gracie; "He told me to take care of my stuff and I am tired! I am moving him to the BOTTOM of the list! GRANDPA! YOU are NOW at the bottom of MY list!"

(Later that evening)

Me:"If I make you go upstairs now to sleep, are you going to move me down on the list?"
Gracie: "Yes."
Me:"Then I guess I better let you cuddle here."

(The next morning)

Gracie; "Grandpa, if you say I can live here, I will move you back to the TOP of the list!"
Grandpa: "No way!"
Gracie: "Okay, then you are staying at the BOTTOM OF THE LIST!"

(Later when saying good bye to Aunt Chelle, who did her fairy make up)

Gracie: "Bye Aunt Chelle!"
Me; "Hey Gracie, where is Aunt Chelle on the list?"
Gracie: "Number 2."
Me: "Only NUMBER 2??"
Gracie: "Okay number 1."
Me: "But I thought I was number 1!"
Gracie: "You are the number 1 before THAT number 1."
