We have had a brilliant Christmas and we aren't completely done yet. Christmas day was spent at home relaxing and eating Tex-Mex, then we picked up and drove to Austin for Christmas celebrations with my side of the fam. My little one LOVES time with her cousins and it is always so sweet to see them play together. Hubby's family will head this direction in a couple of days, and then our holidays will be well and truly complete.
While at my mom's house, I started making a list of funny things that were said. I am a collector of the weird & unique---words, objects, & some would say, people. I find that life is so very interesting, and I particularly enjoy the little oddities that make me smile & think.
Some of my favorites from the trip:
1, We do NOT lick things and throw them.
2. My breath smells like skunks and peaches.
3. I'm done. There's only so much booger I can take.
Yes, these are funny---but are also a reminder that words have power. I've spent time reading several posts from Two Writing Teachers Slice of Life today that speak of the writer's 2015 "one little word." I've thought about having my own OLW, and am feeling that perhaps 2016 is my year to begin the journey. Hmmm...now to ponder and choose my word!
Have a joyous New Year, y'all!

Hysterical! I have a book of "cute things". I wish I had been better at keeping a book of "profound" things that they said as they got older. Words are precious. :-)

ReplyDeleteSo glad you are keeping a record of some of those precious comments and sayings. Time flies, and you are so sure you will remember, but sometimes you don't! :) Good luck with your OLW. I started that last year, but never got really committed. I don't think I loved my word....
ReplyDeleteI love those sayings you gathered! I hoe you are keeping them in a journal somewhere. They are awesome "golden lines" to add to your own writing perhaps. Happy 2016!

ReplyDeleteI love writing down the wacky things my daughter says. Have you seen the Little Hoots app? It's free and it's a GREAT way to preserve those funny sayings graphically.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely check out the Little Hoots app! awesome, thank you!
