Reality TV

One of my girlfriends told me the other day that she wanted to sign up for a Reality TV show about her life. Not because she would ever want anyone else to watch it, but because she wanted to have a camera crew follow her and her kids around all the time to capture all those little moments of her day-to-day life that she never wants to forget.

After talking to Keri I realized that's what this blog is to me. It's my Reality TV camera crew. It's my way of trying to preserve moments of our day-to-day life.

All of that to tell you I'm about to do another post about cute Lily-isms. If you can't stomach another one, I understand. Really, I do.

I know no one thinks Lily is as funny as Tony and I do. Trust me. I also know these things lose a little something (or a lot) when you don't hear them firsthand. It's just that these days my brain is a seive. If I don't write this stuff down I will definitely forget them and I don't want to!

So, you can stop reading now and come back another day.

Okay?

No hard feelings on either part. Right?

Right.

If you're still reading...here goes:

Friday Lily and I were cleaning the house and she said to me, "Does Daddy ever say 'Thank you' to us for cleaning the house?"

I tried very hard not to laugh and asked Lily if we ever thank Daddy for going to work every day? She thought about it for a few minutes and said, "No, but I'm going to as soon as he gets home."

Later that afternoon when I was talking to Tony on the phone I told him about Lily and my conversation and we both had a good laugh. That night at dinner Tony said, "TJ and Lily thank you so much for cleaning the house. It looks beautiful!"

How did Lily reply??? Did she say, "Thank you Daddy for working so hard every day"? Nope. She said, "Don't you mean thank you for using nasty chemicals?"

What? I try to "green clean" as much as I can. Where does this kid get this stuff???

Here's another one. By the way, I'm thinking Tony wishes he hadn't shared this with me!

The other day Lily said to Tony, "Daddy, you really need to clean this office. It's really messy and messes make Mommy drive crazy!"

I think she meant to say, "messes drive Mommy crazy", but I'm planning to file away the other one in case I ever get pulled over. I can just hear me now, "Sorry Officer. I didn't mean to run the Stop sign. It's just my husband's office is a mess and it makes me drive crazy." Do you think it would work?

And a few more...

On Wednesday, Mary Beth took Lily out to lunch so I could go to a doctor's appointment.

While they were at lunch Lily asked Mary Beth, "What is Natural History?" Mary Beth said something to the effect of, "Um...I'm not sure Lily. Do you know?" Lily replied, "No. But, I'm littler and you're bigger. I think you should know."

One of Lily's books talks about a family touring a Natural History Museum. I'm guessing that's where the question comes from.

Okay, okay. I have about 100 more, but I'll do just one more...for now.

While Mary Beth and Lily were at Panera Mary Beth bumped into some friends and told them she was watching Lily while I went to have a bone density scan.

That afternoon when Tony called Lily said to him, "I had lunch with Aunt Baba today while Mommy had a bone density scan. I don't know what that is, but obviously it's not a place for children."

What does "Little pitchers have big ears" mean?
