She's Done It Again

So yesterday, we're in the coffee shop, and Ava points to the African American Man (how about that PC action?) and says: "Hey, you're Obama, the Prisoner of the United States of America!"

This is the second time she's mistaken someone for our great leader...but the first she's called him a prisoner.

On another note...here's her latest masterpiece. A portrait of me. I'm in my high heels going to a bar at night to play with all of my friends.

So I posted this pic on Facebook last night, and it was SO funny to hear some of the comments from other mommies out there. Here are my favorites:

From my friend Nikki: Is that like when I went on the field trip to the grocery store with Will and the teacher asked what do your patents buy at the store? I had the only child that raised his hand and said mommy buys a lot of beer and wine!

From my friend Trisha: That's really cute. Emma did a report at school about me and said my hobbies were "yoga and going to Vegas".

Kids say the darndest things eh? Ava's really good at embarrassing me in the grocery store, especially when we walk down the tampon isle and she yells, "MOM, there's your kind of string cheese!" or when we walk past the beer isle and she yells: "MOM, don't forget the BEER" and then proceeds to point out Mommy's favorite beer and Daddy's favorite beer to anyone who's looking. Nice. Hey at least we're not still drinking Busch Light, right?

She is hilarious. Kids have no filter whatsoever and thank goodness people usually laugh right along with me because some of the things that my kids say in public stop me dead in my tracks.

So I am pretty sure I just want to spend a day hanging out with Ava. The girl cracks my sh*t up! How does she come up with this stuff. Great drawing :)

This post just made my morning...thank you. I would love to peek inside Ava's brain and see her thoughts - I can't even begin to imagine the million things racing through her mind.

p.s. - Sadie also thinks every black man she sees is Obama. Speaks volumes about how non-diverse Bend is.

She's too funny! Jake has pointed out Oprah to me a couple times when we see a black woman, but luckily he's never said it loud enough for them to hear :) Although he did tell everyone at Starbucks the other day that Mommy went poop potty.
