out of the mouths of babes..................

Sunshine, (daughter #4) called last night.
Tator, 4 1/2, came to her and said

she was 'hurt....... ..down there'

Of course, you can imagine the thoughts racing through Mommy's head about then but this is my calm daughter.... ......... ......... ......... .........

"Where, Tator?" (You know, just in case she is misunderstanding. ....)

"You know, down there", she replies.

"Tator, how did that happen?", Mommy says...chanting to herself..calm....calm....calm.....

Tator tilts her head to the side and looks at the floor."Well, it really was the egg....." her voice trails off.........

"AN EGG?" (I would imagine about now Mommy is starting to lose it.)

"yes........ I was trying to lay it and it cracked open and cranked me!!!!(a plastic easter egg, of course) She has her own special words!!

I can soooo see Sunshine. STRAINING not to laugh while she comforts Tator
as if everyone tries to lay eggs....hehe.

My first thought at this point was to ask her if she laughed.
I would have been rolling on the floor laughing so hard I cried!!!!!
Mommy says, 'no'........ ......... ......... ..but then we both crack up!!!!!!!

I can hear Tator in the background.. ......... ......... ......... ......... ......... .....

WELL, YOU ARE NOW!!!!!!!

Out of the mouth of babes.......

Completed 2 projects. Finished knitting the first of 2 dishcloths for April with the Monthly Dishcloth Group "In The Meadow". I used Peaches and Cream yarn. Going to knit a button on dish towel to match by lengthening the pattern and adding the top.

It's a little hard to see since I have to 'squish' it in my scanner to get a picture. The 4 flowers are on top of a hill (in a meadow) and the bloom is made by knitting one bobble stitch. I like the sun peeking out of the top left corner, too. This is a great group. One pattern is posted the first of the month which is themed to fit the month or season. It is designed to look best knitted in a solid color. The middle of the month a pattern is posted for varigated or fair isle yarn in an all over pattern. If you choose to knit a square you can post the photo but it is not a requirement to join. The patterns alone are really good!!!

I also created a new 'antique' sachet (4" x 4" outside of the lace). I took antique lace and material that had a hand embroderied lavender already on it and made sachet. Wonder if that counts as 'antique"? Doesn't matter...it turned out really sweet and dainty. I love victorian decorating!

The following is a sweet story out of the mouth of a 4 yr old I happen to love delightfully. If you are easily offended by ANYTHING REMOTELY OF A SEXUAL NATURE....read no more.

Otherwise, enjoy the pure innocense and tender concern of this sweet baby girl nicknamed Tator:

DD#4 has recently started babysitting a couple of days a week. Being a christian wife and mother, she is very protective of her two daughters, Tator 4 1/2 and Peanut 1 1/2. Now you need to understand that Tator doesn't know the physical differences between boys and girls. Since she is now taking care of a tiny baby boy, she decided this might be a good time to be more casual about Tator seeing her change his diaper. The day came when Tator just happened to be in the room and it was time to change a diaper. Sure enough she came over. She adores babies!!

So Mom quietly and slowly continued to change the wet diaper. Wet diaper (keep that in mind, now....You can see where this is going, huh). When it appeared that Mom thought she was through wiping baby, a frown came to Tator's face,

"Mommy, you missed some poop poop." she said with concern.

Mom replied, "No, boys look different than girls."

(She may have told me she said more but I don't think so. We've talked a lot about only answering what is asked and see what comes, next to avoid confusion or giving too much information unnecessisily.)

Several lllooonnnnggggg seconds passed while Tator thought about that one! Then a look of revulsion came on her face.

"Mommy!, does he taste his poop poop?!?!"

Now this was really puzzling, but this Mom is one cool cucumber! After a few minutes the 'light bulb' came on! Tator was really thinking hard and she was right. It really did look like a little mouth with a tiny tongue sticking out................what other conclusion would she come to!!! So Mom explained a litttle bit more and Tator gave a big sigh........

"I'm glad cause that would sure taste yucky!" Bless her sweet caring heart!
