Middle child shrieks, "Oh I know! My favorite song!" And proceeds to sing this:
O dreydl, dreydl, dreydl, I made it out of clayI start cracking up and oldest says: "That is most definitely NOT a Christmas song! It is a Hannukah song and you can't sing it for Christmas!"
And when it’s dry and ready, o dreydl I shall play, Hey!
"Well I don't care cause I like it!" middle child responds.
"You're not being in the Christmas spirit!" oldest says.
"I'm being in the holiday spirit and since that includes Christmas and Hannukah I can sing what I want!" middle child replies very smartly.
Intervening in what looks like a Christmas/Hannukah fight between the girls, I interject and say, "That's right sweetie, it is very nice of you to sing all holiday songs!"
"See! I told you!" middle child replies and sticks out her tongue and blows a raspberry at her.
"Now that's not being in the holiday spirit. Remember, Santa's always watching," I chided her.
"Don't worry he didn't see me cause I was crossing my fingers!" she replied with a big smile.

That's like Tweety Bird covering his eyes and declaring, "That bad ol' puddy tat will never find me in here!"
Smart girl.
I think she has a future in politics.
;)
Your kids are entirely too smart for 'your' own good, my friend.
The crossing fingers is the MOST important part..everyone knows THAT mom!!! :)
Awww! You're keeping a nice record of their dialogue here. You should print it out at some point and scrapbook it!
:-)
Funny stuff.
Santa was not only watching, she was listening! :)
When are these girls going to get their own show? :)
A politician/lawyer in the making.
A kid's that smart and that negotiative can be a real pain for his/her parents for sure.
But it will serve her the better once she grows up!
I agree with Church Lady. Get this printed up, add some of their drawings and photographs, and you'll have a present they will never throw away!
Not a dull moment! :-) Very funny, indeed! Children say such smart and unexpected things. :-)
Haha - I love that they took the initiative to start singing. :-) We were listening to the Christmas songs on the radio the other day and I heard my daughter softly singing. So precious.
Wait 'til they are older and in a satiric mood.
Christmas carols will never be the same.
Ah, very crafty.
Respect.
We've been talking about you. HERE.
She *will* make a perfect politician someday. :) I love reading about your kids.
I think you have a future lawyer there. Like mother like daughter
