Mouths of babes

So my almost 3 year old - almost 30 year old - daughter Brooke had this conversation with me this weekend:
Let me set the scene:
Beautiful afternoon after both girls had 3 hour naps (hear the angels singing? I did). We were playing blissfully on the deck and Brooke was sitting behind me being her rambunctous self. All of a sudden she grabs a chunk of my hair and yanks.
Being the calm cool collected person I am, I swung around and grabbed her leg and said, "What? Are you kidding me?"
She looked me straight in the eye and said, "Oh I am soooo sorry Mommy, sometimes I just don't know what to do." Smile, head tilt.
"Brooke, you know you don't pull hair!"
She just laughed and went on her merry way.
And my husband says God doesn't GET people. Well, I would guess that my mother and father are laughing themselves silly at the prospect of this child torturing me for the rest of my life.

Another fun Brooke tidbit from this weekend. Same day, same venue. Brooke looked at me and said "Mom, people are stupid." You might be surprised but I am pretty sure that this is coming from her pal Yia Yia who doesn't suffer morons lightly. When she followed by, "And some people just drive like jerks." my suspicions were confirmed.

Did I mention that not just GOD gets you but your mother does too?
