Thoughts and Perspectives From the Mind of a Common Girl
~Autumn Cook (Age 8)
*Which she proudly proclaimed while saying goodnight, with kisses and bear hugs to boot! I just hope the teen years go this well! Lol… 😉
And yes, that’s really her in the photo.
I am the oldest of three and grew up with a sister who is seven years younger than me. I can still remember the very first time our mother served my sister a chicken leg for dinner. She was probably about four years old, and she looked up at our mother, with her innocent baby blue eyes, and in her teeny tiny voice she said,
Everyone promptly burst out laughing and it’s been something which none of us have ever forgotten. I really wish I would have written down more of the things my own girls have said over the years. There were a ton of funny things, but sadly I can’t remember the majority of them anymore.

Been feeling like something is off with my bladder. I have a very sensitive one, and caffeine, spicy, or citrus type foods, can sometimes cause me to feel awful.
So this morning, after a few days of discomfort, I told my husband I still wasn’t feeling well. In his joking way, he said, “You gonna go see your, what ya call him? Poopiologist?”
I raised an eyebrow and said, “You mean my Urologist?” Shaking my head and rolling my eyes at him, he says, “Oh yeah, that’s the one!”
Not to embarrass him, but I often wonder where he comes up with these things. He knew it wasn’t the right word, but where Poopiologist came from, I have no idea! Lol…
And besides that, it’s not the pooping I’m having a problem with! At least we both had a good laugh over it.

A few weeks ago an embarrassing thing happened. My 15 yr old daughter asked me to show her how to upload pictures to Twitter. So being the nice mom that I am, I, of course, said yes, and promptly went to grab my phone to show her how to do it.
Unfortunately, I failed to remember that a few hours earlier, I had sent my husband a rather naughty photo of myself, and so when I went to show my daughter how to upload pictures to Twitter from my photo album, that naughty photo was on full display.
As soon as I realized it, I quickly pulled the phone away from her view and tried my best to act as unflustered as I could. She, of course, looked down at the floor, face bright red, trying so hard not to laugh hysterically. When she finally looked up at me a minute later, she said, “Well mom, at least it wasn’t a naked picture of grandma! That would have been so much worse!”
Oh, I had to laugh at her response. Because of course, having naked pictures of grandma on my phone is a natural thing! Not!!!
Then my husband walks in, and says what’s going on? I whispered to him what had just happened, and then in a very loud voice, he says… “Oh, which one did she see?” I about died all over again, and my daughter, of course, started laughing hysterically. I tell you, it’s never a dull moment at our house. I’m going to go hang my head in shame now. Lol….

This just popped up on my Facebook page a few days ago. It’s a memory from three years ago. I still remember this like it was yesterday. Still makes me laugh!
March 9, 2014 –
Well, my day was full of a few laughs… Hubby thought he was bleeding to death from a giant hole on the bottom of his foot, when he realized in actuality, that it was only a smashed chocolate chip which he had somehow stepped on.
Then, our daughter Autumn came home from church with a smiley faced toy they had given her. She took one look at it and said… “This thing doesn’t even have a nose on its face… idiots!” I guess the manufacturer of that particular toy, just cannot impress this 5 yr old one bit! Now I’m off to bed, goodnight all! ~M
