i babysat last night. for four kids. all under age 9.
not only did i get a large dose of birth control, but i had a pretty funny little exchange with julia, who is 4. she is the most articulate and snarky 4 year-old i've ever met.
george, the oldest, asked where i went to college. i told him that i went to the U. of Nebraska.
and then this unfolded...
julia (looking at me intently): you look weird.
lyndsay (not knowing quite what to say): no i don't! i look just like you (sans snarky look).
julia: all people from nebraska look weird.
lyndsay: have you ever BEEN to nebraska?
julia: no. but they do.
lyndsay: that's what i thought.
kids sure know how to perk the self-esteem.
lol. Bam! Way to put her right back in her her 4-year-old place. "that's what I thought." :) I'll be smiling all day.
