Funny things my kid has done lately:

1. When pretending to drink out of a 2-liter soda bottle left over from her birthday party, I said, "Can you maybe not do that?" and she said, "But I'm just pretending, mama!" And when I asked her what was in the bottle, she said, "Orange juice."

2. Later, I caught her trying to RIDE the 2-liter soda bottle. "Look, mama, I'm riding the orange juice!"

3. Also today she was on the deck asking, "What's my cool trick?" and then walking over to the table so she could hold on and do a side kick like that kid in the "Cool Tricks" segment of Yo Gabba Gabba.

4. I said, "Ay, papi!" to my brother this evening and she promptly started calling him "Papi" for the rest of the evening.

5. Re: my brother's whipped cream: "It's MY favorite. No, mama, it's MY favorite!"

And those are all just from this evening. I swear to God, she is the funniest child ever.

So we all know how I feel about crocs. I will concede that they can be convenient for kids, especially with water play or visits to the beach or something like that. I get it.

Jen's brother bought Punk an outfit for her birthday and I was impressed with his clothes-choosing skills (his ex used to do all of the gift-choosing) - a cute little denim overall skirt and a pink shirt with the recycle symbol all over it (organic, even!)... but of course they came with a pair of pink knock-off crocs. Of course.

They were way too big so it was never an issue (they are size 6, Punk is a 4) but Punk is OBSESSED with them. She wants to play with them. She insists that I put them on her feet 87743871918293 times per day. When they are on, she kicks her feet and laughs and laughs.

Damn you, crocs!!

A few minutes ago, my kid let off a series of little farts. And then laughed her fool head off.

And so it begins.

In the next installment of Gross Things I Pulled Out of My Kid's Mouth (you'll remember that the first was a giant wad of cat fur), we have:

someone's chewed off fingernail!!!

Oh Em Gee, GROSSSSSSS!

In other news, my mom just sent me an e-mail and she typed "OMG."

Ulp.

Dude, this is both cute AND funny. SRSLY.

I thought this was a funny little comparison. (x-posted to blog)
