3 year olds are so weird..(and 10 year olds, and 8 year olds, and 5 year olds...one year olds are normal..so far at least)

This blog is brought to you by the crazy mind of Moira...
Here's a few of her funniest things she has said to me today

She found a peep (the little marshmallow candy kind...not our 'gangsta' friend kind) on the kitchen counter, and said "Oh! It's my favorite animal!" I said "What kind of animal is it?" and she said, holding it up for my inspection, "This kind of animal...you know, the one with the head on it?" I do have to admit that my favorite animals are ones with heads on them too.

Also while in the kitchen I was grating some cheese for dinner. She comes over and asks what the grater was, and I told her the name and she points to the side of it and says "It's kind of got holes in it...yeah, it's a Holy Grater!" So of course I start picturing the stupid grater wearing a Popes hat or something....I have issues people.

And, when I was down to the end of the block of cheese I gave the last bit to Moira and she chews it for a few seconds and says "It tastes pretty cheesy" I said "Well, that's good because it is cheese" and she says "Yeah, I think it's too cheesy. It tastes kind of different" I see a bright future as a food critic for her ('Yes, the food was good...but it tasted a little too foodie. And that water was different...kind of wet and watery.").

Ok, lets see, what else? Oh, when I got her up from her nap today she tells me "Most people call me Moira" I told her that was good, since Moira is her name. She said "Yeah, they can't call me anything else, because I wont understand them"

And the last thing, which is really funny. Well, at least I thought it was. Yesterday we (by 'we' I really mean 'I') decided to start intensive potty training. So, like I did with the boys when I felt they were old enough or ready or, let's face it, I was sick of changing their diapers, I had them go...um, to quote Joey from Friends (and who doesn't quote Joey? 'Howyoudoin'?') anyway, Moira went "commando". Could she BE wearing any less clothes? (and yes, I do know that's Chandler, not Joey. It's from the same show so I don't care...nanananaboo-boo) So Moira was wearing one of Bastian's t-shirts and nothing else. It's how I trained the boys and it's all I know. Hey, it worked for them, why change it? So, yesterday Moira decided to follow Spencer around, why? How do I know! I guess that's a fun family activity for a 3 year old. Usually Spencer doesn't mind because he's a great big brother to her, but he kept getting up and leaving the room and she would follow him and he would go into another room, and she would follow him, then he'd leave that room and she would be right behind him laughing an evil little laugh. So poor Spencer starts walking really fast to get away, and Moira is running to stay behind him, with her sweet little voice doing a hysterical MWAHAHAHAHA laugh the whole time. Finally Spencer asks me to get her to stop following him, and I asked why it was bothering him so much and he said "Because she is naked and its freaking me out!!!" I had to explain the finer points of potty training to him.

Oh, and as I write this the boys are in the toy room playing computer games and I can hear Moira saying "Haha, I'm naked! I'm naked! Hahahaha"
