Out of the mouth of Gabriela!

Gabriela has said some pretty interesting things lately. She surprises me a lot and makes me laugh. Yesterday, she fell down outside and scraped her shin pretty bad. She kept crying about it and whimpering and whining and it was loud. I kept telling her to cry quietly because we were in the car and it was really irritating. This had been going on for at least a half hour when as I was getting her out of the car I told her that she needed to go into acting because she is so over dramatic. She looked me squarely in the eye and said, "Mom are you being mean or are you being nice? If you are being funny, I'm not going to play with you. It's not funny." That's one of the first times that she wasn't sure what I was saying. It was so funny because she was so serious. Of course I told her I was being nice.
Tonight while she was saying her prayers, Sophia was sitting in her lap. In her prayer she says, "I'm thankful for Sophia, because she is crazy, I'm thankful for Mami, because she is fun, and I'm thankful for Papi, because he is funny." It made me smile.
One more. The other night we caught Gabriela sticking out her tongue and she says "this means I don't like you." Must have learned that from one of her cousins. Miguel told her that it wasn't nice and we better not hear her do it again. She then turns to Miguel and says "I'm not, I'm just showing you my beautiful pink tongue." Nice, Gabriela.

If your kids have said any good ones lately, feel free to share them with me.
