Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Car Pool Conversations


One of my many jobs out here in the Suburbs is the never ending carpool.
To swimming, gymnastics, choir, track or even birthday parties it seems like I'm always hauling a load of wee ones to some incredibly important social event.
One of the wonderful things about being the invisible driver in the front seat? The conversations overheard between groups of 7-10 year old girls...

Overheard between two adorable 7 year old girls in my back seat.
The discussion: A 10 week session of synchronized swimming.

"Well SweetGirl, I do like the idea of doing synchronized swimming with you, but it says here 10 hours.

Big Sigh.

I'll try, but I think I'm gonna be awfully tired after 10 straight hours in the pool!"
Hee hee...Out of the mouths of babes.

Lol kids are so funny! I always catch my son saying the craziest things.

Ha! You should tell them they should wait until they're older and how sometimes doing something for even 10 minutes feels like an eternity!

(like trying to get my kids to take the first bite of the supper, for example...)

How funny!! When you have two or more in the car it's almost like you are invisible and you get to hear all kinds of things!

Adorable. It's like when my sister and I saw a sign for "Lab Pups 4 Sale", I wrote down the phone number. But she cried because "what kind of experiments do you think were done to them"?

So so cute!!!! I love listening to their conversations. It's the best.

One time I actually called the mom of the other child (on the sly) and let her listen in. It was so cute and funny.

I've missed your blog the past few days, hope the guacamole has worked it's way thru to a better place! Ha! Also glad you found the wonder that are Spanx.

Kids' conversations are the best. I love to listen in when they talk to each other. :)
