If You Can Dream It

Karly was venting about a friend from school tonight at dinner.  (I love 6-year-old's venting moments)  If you have ever watched kid snippets, this could have been one of those conversations....(example of a kid snippet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6z7v8v8IaI)  I wish you could hear this in her voice because it is so much better....she still has a little trouble saying her r's, so she sounds like she has a little Jersey accent.

She was upset and said,

"Whenever I say something about a person, she says she IS that....like I talk about a doctor, she says, "I AM A DOCTOR!"  I say, my dentist did this, she says, "I AM A DENTIST!"  I say, at gymnastics class I...she says, "I AM A GYMNASTICS GIRL!"....she IS everything in my mind!!!!"

.... and this seemed to really be perturbing Karly....you know when your kids are SO SERIOUS, but what they are saying is so funny to you that you have to turn your head away for a second to hide that you are actually tearing up from NOT laughing out loud?

After a couple seconds of serious thought, Karly blurted out in complete exasperation, 

"She's just like Barbie!"

I don't know how she thought of that one....but, I have been laughing for a while!
