Shhhh... you need to be quiet....
A will be 5 next month. She is a small child for reasons unknown to me, weighing in at 32lbs. Her 2yo brother stands almost as tall as she does.
What she lacks in size, she makes up for in sound. Although her voice is quite squeaky, it's loud, and she can crank it up to earsplitting volume.
On Friday, I needed to get out of the house after being trapped all week due to ice. So, I packed up all six kids and we went to the library. The girls were, of course, discussing how you behave in a library.
A piped up and informed us all, "You have to whisper and be quiet in the library because you don't want to DESTROY all the other people!".
H (7 next month) rolled her eyes and said, "Not DESTROY, A... DISTURB! YOU are disturbing!"... which (of course) set A off into shrieks of protest.
Funny thing is, when she gets loud, she is also DESTROYING. Destroying ear drums!
Another funny my friend shared - her children are 5 1/2 and 2 1/2. Her older daughter bit her son on the finger. Upon questioning WHY she would bite her brother, she piped up and said, "Because he wanted to feel PAIN, Mom!"

Jenna made a funny about an experience we had recently. When we rented a car to see the in-laws not long ago, I said to Derek, "lets be daring and get a convertible!" He looked at me in disbelief (after all, it's winter). We got one that would fit all four of us. When we got inside, I said to Derek, "now, THIS is livin'!" After our trip was over, we returned the car as promised. Today, when Jenna saw the same make and model of vehicle on the road, she said, "Look mamma! Somebody's driving OUR livin'!" It cracked me up.
