No Princess Jasmine costume but she was thrilled to wear this pink gem.

However, she was mad that I made her wear her hoodie under her coat because it's cold outside.

School Pictures

Me: We have to pick out your outfit for pictures tomorrow. 

Lucy: I want to be Princess Jasmine!

Me: uhhh...... You're allowed to wear a costume to school?

Lucy: Yeah...

Me: Who told you that?

Lucy: MRS. WALKER DID!

Me: Did she actually say, "You are allowed to wear a costume for your pictures"?

Lucy: Well, she said we should wear something we never wore to school yet!

Me: I don't think she meant you can wear your favourite princess costume. 

Lucy:

Boy at school decided to Lucy that boys are tougher than girls

Lu: Mom, [Kid at school] said boys are tougher than girls but that's not true.

Me: You're right. You should just tell him that gender doesn't matter.

Lu: *SIGH* I won't remember that. 

Me: Fine, just tell him girls are also tough. We're so tough we push babies out our vaginas.

Lu: I CAN'T SAY "VAGINA". It's a bad word.

Me: You can say "vagina". It's empowering and you can say it.

Lu: *screaming* VAGINA! VAGINA! I AM EMPOWERED AND BEING PROACTIVE!!!!! *hops on her bike and rides away*

Note: I didn't want to drop the "pushing babies out our vagina" bombs because I know there are other levels of "toughness". However, I know the shock value of her saying that to another kid will hopefully snap him out of "girls vs boys" for a while.

While I'm driving, Lucy asks me this:

Lucy: Mom, when you were little did you tell you're friend that she's going to grow up and one day she'll have kids and then she'll be a grandma and then your friend got mad and cried?

Me:

Lucy: Because I said that to Mabel and she cried.

Me:

Lucy: I don't know why she was upset. It's not like it hard being a grandma. You just get to be old! 

Me:

Lucy: Just look at that lady. She's a grandma and she's just driving around. 

Me: How do you know she's a grandma, Lucy?

Lucy, 2 years old, 2011

So we're in the waiting area of a restaurant and a couple with a little boy are near us.

Like most little kids, he & Lucy look at each other with that "hey, you're a kid" recognition.

Kid: *in a really really whiny voice* Hiiiiii

Lucy: You're a wimp!

Yes Lucy... that would be awesome.

#TBT Snack Time

Lucy, age 2, 2011

Lucy: I’m hungry.

Mommy: Well, would you like a snack?

Lucy: YES!

Mommy: How about an apple?

Lucy: No. When I was upstairs on my fuzzy bubby I had a wicked poop. Now I can’t eat fruit.

Mommy: I can peel it and cut it for you.

Lucy: hmmmm…. okay…. I want it in my monkey bowel!

I Hate To Tell You This

Whist on bike ride, Lucy pulls over to the side, stop and looks right at me. 

Lucy: Mom, I hate to tell you this but your helmet doesn't match your bike. 

Me: um ....

#TBT The Little Mermaid

Lucy, age 2, 2011

Daddy had to take Lucy to get her booster shots. That morning she put on one of her many puffy & prissy dresses.

Considering what the day entailed, Daddy decided she could wear her pretty puffy dress to the doctor. While in the waiting room, Lucy and another little girl were playing.

Little girl: Wow! What a pretty dress! You must be a princess!

Lucy: *shrugs & is completely nonchalant* I’m not a princess, I’m a mermaid.

Little girl: whoa!

After Lucy’s boosters she and Daddy passed the little girl and her mommy.

The two little ladies waved, while drying their teary post-booster shot eyes. Daddy then overhead the little girl say to her mommy: See mommy, there’s THE mermaid!

*The Beast starts glowing*

Lucy: What’s happening to him now?

Mommy: He’s tuning into a man.

Lucy: The Beast is a man?!? *she looks intensely at the screen & is obviously in deep thought* What’s his name now?
