DOING DOUBLE DUTY/FROM THE MOUTH OF A THREE YEAR-OLD

Tuesday, December 08, 2009 For a while today I had my hands full. Not only did I pick Jayden and Bailey up after school but I had to go right from there to Greg’s parents’ house and get Alexa and Gavin and take them all to Greg and Niki’s and watch them until Corey got off work. After he took his two, I took Alexa and Gavin to where Niki, Greg and Judy were all getting their hair done. It was at some lady’s house. She is a neighbor of Michael and Shannon’s. I have noted elsewhere that three and a half year-old Alexa is madly in love with Troy from Disney’s High School Musical and everyone knows it. Today ten year-old Jayden jokingly said to her, “Troy doesn’t shower!” Alexa immediately responded with, “Gabriella doesn’t poop.” And “Gabriella drives a dirty car!” It amazes me what the mind of someone that young can come up with. If you don’t know, Gabriella is Troy’s heartthrob in the movies and Alexa is adamantly jealous of her and even cried when they kissed. She sobbed, “Troy is supposed to kiss me!”
