Kids Say the Darndest Things!

Yesterday I took Dioji to get his hair cut.  When we left Petsmart, Bailey started crying, "Oh, no, Mama! Dog!"  How silly of me to "forget" the dog!!  She was very upset and reminded me the entire drive home that we didn't have the dog with us.  He was ready pretty quickly so soon enough we found ourselves back at Petsmart, picking him up.  Now, getting out of the Petsmart parking lot is a real headache.  On either side of the entrance/exit road, there's a Chick-Fil-A and a gas station, and both places have lots of traffic going in and out.  I was able to get in the line of about five cars waiting to make a left turn at the traffic light.  Pretty much as soon as I got in line, the light changed to a green arrow for the left turn lane.  Well, we sat there.  And sat there and sat there and sat there.  Now I am like four cars behind the guy at the front of the line who's in la-la land, so I didn't want to honk at the guy in front of me (and I doubt it would have helped anyway).  Finally, as the light turns yellow, Mr. Oblivious realizes it and of course goes through the light, leaving the rest of us sitting there.  I was so frustrated, so I said, "I can't believe this!  We missed that whole light because of one idiot!"  Emmy goes, "Mommy, you should just say 'dammit.'" Let me tell you, it was SO hard not to laugh at that one!  I said, "No, honey, we don't say that word."  But inside I was cracking up because not only did she have a word for the situation, she'd also learned the appropriate use of it! LOL!!
