Addie has recently added the word “awkward” to her vocabulary. Unfortunately she has no idea how to use the word correctly.
“Mom, are we stuck in traffic?”
“Yes.”
“Whew, that’s awkward.”

“This is probably the best bowl of cereal ever, it’s so awkward.”

I am also pleased to inform you that she has only fired me twice over the past month.
Once because I “didn’t allow her to live in a world where she can do whatever she wants” and once over soup.

Was it delicious soup?

Kids are funny. My son keeps saying “The suspense is killing me,” even though he doesn’t use it properly. His little brother will be screaming and he’ll say, “Ugh! The suspense is killing me!.” Needless to say, it’s AWKWARD. I want to correct him, but I also want to keep hearing him say it wrong.
Thanks for sharing your funny story. It made me re-live mine, which is nice.

I remember at my 21st birthday, Mum had gotten a corsage for me to wear (yeah, half my lifetime ago). One of our neighbour’s children came racing out – “Chelle, you forgot your awkward!”

oh to be young, and not know the true meaning of awkward. Seriously, 5 year old girls have to be one of my favorite people to have conversations with.

It’s a good thing you blog this stuff because I go back and read the stuff that my now 7 year old daughter said when she was 3 or even Moosh’s age and crack up. They’re so fun.
