How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Wisdom from My 7 Year Old

in Uncategorized on 07/10/09


I’m back from a fabulous, restful, sunny vacay on the beach. I truly was not ready to give up the good life and come back to reality…but I did!

So so much catching up to do both in the blogging world and in my real life…so for now, just some wise words from my SweetGirl.

It is amazing what you hear when you have time to slow down and really listen…

Mean People Suck.

I hate it when you have this great thought in your head and then…you forget what you were going to say.

Why can’t boys and girls just get along?

Why do some people think they are SO much better then other people? She just needs to get over herself!

Beach sand does not belong in your teeth. Uck.

There is no better place in the world then digging in the sand with your sister, your Mommy and your Daddy. Can we have ice cream now?

      I love listening to random bits too! It is part of what makes life fun. If not scary.

      I agree. Beach sand does not belong on teeth.

      We’ll be going to the beach in a few weeks and I’ll have to keep that in mind.

      I can’t cope with sand on my skin, never mind in my mouth; double yuk! Sounds like you had a lovely holiday.

      Glad to hear you had a great vacation. She sounds like a smart girl…she’s learning the ropes already. I actually just took my infant to the beach for the first time. It was quite a trip!!!

      Teeth are not the only things sand does not belong in….and…oh wait, I totally had a GREAT comment in my head that I was going to type and now it’s gone. She’s right…I hate it when that happens šŸ™‚

      Crikey girls say those things when they’re 7? Imagine what she’ll be coming out with when she’s a teen.

      Mean people do suck. Very fitting for the day I’ve had. Sage words from a wee one.

      OMG I hate having a thought in my head and then forgetting it. IT DRIVES ME INSANE!

      Yep, mean people suck.
      I used to be mean…..oh wait sometimes I am still mean.

      Hmm…I only suck a little (some of the time)
      I feel better about that : )

      Glad you enjoyed your vacation!
