The Mouths of Babes

Vanessa, a little girl who lives down the street is Cheyenne's best friend. They are both 4. And play together almost every day. The other day we were listening to them, and they didn't know it. Of all my kids, I don't think my Cheyenne will suffer from self-esteem issues.

First occurance.

Vanessa: "Julie doesn't think I'm cool."

Cheyenne: "You're cool." (With a look on her face and a tone of voice of disgusted disbelief)

A little while later:

Vanessa: "Then I can be cool like you".

Cheyenne: (Very matter of factly) "You're not THAT cool."



2nd occurance.

(Cheyenne was sitting on Royce's lap and they were talking)

Cheyenne: "When I grow up Dad, I'm going to be a woman,
and I'm going to be a BAD woman, and I'm going to do whatever I want."

Royce: "So what are you going to do thats bad?"
(Now try picturing Daddy with only daughter on his lap).

Cheyenne looks out the window and thinks.
"I'm going to go in that field over there."

That was the worst thing she could think of.

I love kids.
