The other day the girls were joking around when Angus presses her nose up and says "Who am I?" The girls laugh and Oldest shouts out "Oh my gosh, you look just like _____ from tae kwon do!"
I immediately chide them for making fun of another person, reminding them that making fun of things a person can't change is mean and rude.
"I'm not making fun of her, Mommy!" Angus states. "I'm just making a connection. A connection between a pig nose and her nose. That's all. It's just making connections! What's so mean about that?"
"You know you are being really mean, now stop it."
Angus pauses. "But I'm not. For example, I noticed you ate sour cream and onion potato chips and now your breath is stinky. I am not being mean. I'm just making a connection between your stinky breath and the potato chips!"
That's one mean smart girl.
hmmm what would she say about my garlic dinner sausages? :O lol
ReplyDeleteAt least you always know she is honest.
ReplyDeleteThat is funny, because family is always bluntfully honest. And I think I have even said "I'm not being mean, I'm just being honest!" Too cute! And I love sour cream and onion chips!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Angus!!! And I love your blog, I'm nominating you for the Lemonade Award- great taste but with a bite.
