As I've mentioned before, during the summer, I work as a nanny for a family in my hometown. I've been with this family for over five years now, so really, their house is like my second home. ANYWAY, they have two girls...Natalie is 10 and Claire is 6...and gosh do they make me laugh...
Claire's latest thing is bugs...last week we were driving home from tee ball and out of the blue she goes, "ya know who I feel bad for?? BUGS...because everyone just kills them.." so since then she has been all about bugs. Well yesterday, Natalie and I were cleaning up the kitchen from lunch and Claire came into the house and said, "look I found a momma and a baby bug" and I look and see one bug on top of the other..now of course, being the biology major that I am, I know very well that it is definitely not a mom and baby bug..but I wasn't going to say anything to the precious child. Natalie, however, had no problem saying something. She took one look at the bugs in her sister's hand and said "CLAIRE!! THEY'RE MATING!!"...to which Claire quickly dumped the bugs onto the kitchen floor, looks at me with a panicked look on her face, and says,"What does that mean!?" and before I could answer, Natalie proudly declares, "ya know, they were doing IT"
...oooh kids say/do the darndest things....
