supergrrrl's proverb

words of wisdom from a five year old
tonight before bathtime i overheard supergrrrl telling preacher man that if he went to bed with an itchy bottom he would wake up with an itchy bottom and smelly fingers
i would love to put that in a fortune cookie
"he who falls asleep with itchy bottom wakes up with stinky finger"
HILARIOUS
it convinced preach to take a bath and he went to bed smelling like a rose

they're back

the dynamic duo are ready to hit the streets
they've been practicing....
"trick or treat
smell my feet
give me something good to eat
SUCKER"
the "sucker" at the end really makes me proud

the love affair

"we just rocked the vote for Barack"
supergrrl had the pox-the chicken pox-
which you never hear about anymore
(i thought she just had an annoying case of mosquitoe bites- we do live in the deep south, with a creek in our backyard, so it wasn't too much of a stretch)
after we were shown out of the backdoor of the drs. office-so as not to infect any unsuspecting children-i decided to take my little typhoid mary to the voter registration building to vote early!
this had been something that supergrrl and i were planning to do together and i figured what the hell, we had nothing else to do and i didn't want to have to stand in an annoyingly long line with stodgy old men and my 5 five year..
so we went home and supergrrrl put on her Obama shirt and we headed to the polls
i had wondered if voting early would somehow be an emotional letdown..
man i was wrong!
we were shown into a small voting area-
there were spots for 8 people and we were the sixth -
i whispered all the candiates for president to supergrrrl- she grinned and announced-quite loudly- "were voting for Obama,Mama"
she pressed the screen-she was so excited her fingers were trembling- i have to say my heart was a flutter too
we went through the ballot- i had to read the whole thing out loud-much to the dismay of all the Mccain voting old farts-
every time she pressed the screen, she would announce our choice.
as we were leaving the man behind the counter asked supergrrl if she enjoyed her voting experience
"oh yeah, we rocked the vote for Barack" was her response-
