"Straight Up Talk" with Kathryn Grace Jackson

So I'm at Janelle's.

Me, Julia and Kathryn are coloring at the snack bar. Somehow the conversation turned to my turning 40 years old this year.

Kathryn says, "that's terrible!"

A little while later Kathryn and I are snuggling up together with a blanket on the couch. She is practically sitting on top of me. She begins rubbing my arm, like I was doing to her a while before that. She comes across one of my moles. She begins to pick at it, like she's going to actually pick it off. I say nothing. She finds another one and does the same. Then she says, "you got bumps on your arms!" and then, "your arms are hairy!" and then, "you've got dad arms!"

Then....

My cell phone is ringing from within my purse. Since I am snuggled up with Kathryn and we are busy eatting popcorn, Julia goes to retrieve my phone. She is digging and digging in my purse with no luck. I say out loud, "I can never find my cell phone in my purse". And then Kathryn says, "you should get an organizer!"

An "organizer" has been advertised on tv lately, its some sort of purse with all sorts of "organizers" within it and she apparently remembers exactly what it is and that I need it.

Ha-lar-ious.

What? You were blogging and not giving my children your constant undivided attention? I would NEVER! =)

That Kathryn. The girls told me the same thing one day last week when I said I forgot my grocery list and couldn't remember what I needed at the store. Kathryn said I needed an organizer, Julia said I need this little digital voice recorder that comes with it as an added bonus which you speak your grocery list into along with anything else important that you need to remember.

Helpful girls I am raising.
