Thoughts and Perspectives From the Mind of a Common Girl
On the way home from school one day…
Autumn – “Mom, guess what my favorite class is this year!”
Me – “Umm… I’m not sure, tell me.”
Autumn – “It’s History, and guess why!”
Me – “Hmm… I’m still not sure, tell me why.”
Autumn – “It’s my favorite class because it hasn’t started yet!”
*She absolutely loathes History, so this came as no surprise, but it really made me laugh because of her cheeky behavior. It’s never a dull moment around here. Is it ever when you have kids? Lol… 😉
Brianna – “Mom, is shitted a word?”
Me – “No honey…”
Brianna – “Darn it! I was really looking forward to using that word!”
Me – “🙄😳😲”
As my daughter was trying to lift a 30 lb bag of dog food, I said, “Okay muscles, think you can you handle that?”
She said, “Mom… you see these chicken bones? I’m surprised I can even support my own weight!”

Autumn – “Hey mom, guess what!?”
Me – “What?”
Autumn – “I just made fresh eggs for breakfast!”
Me – “Oh?”
Autumn – “Yeah… wanna know how I know the eggs were fresh?”
Me – “Okay, tell me…”
Autumn – “Well, the carton says so! See… right here. It says Farm Fresh Eggs!”
Me – “Oh, is that so…”
Autumn – “Yeah, isn’t it great!”
A conversation from earlier today…
Brianna- “Mom, why don’t you like dealing with the dogs?”
Me- “Because I don’t really enjoy picking up poop the size of my head, and I’ve changed enough diapers in my life from you four girls, that I’m quite done dealing with anymore poop.”
Brianna- “Yeah mom, I understand, you already have enough crap to deal with in your life.”
