Anna Claire has said so many funny things lately! Here's a taster: next month we are going up to Helen, Georgia for a couple of days while we attend a friend's wedding in nearby Dahlonega, Georgia. Anna Claire asked her Daddy, "Why are we going to hell in Georgia?"

Another funny thing she said; we were working on the computer learning about it and working on her computer skills along with her spelling words. She was playing a spelling game of hangman. The computer would give her a clue and prompt her to pick one of her spelling words for the answer. The question clue was a synonym for"gives off a scent or odor" and the answer was supposed to be the word SMELL. She wasn't getting it, so I acted like I smelled something bad and then I pointed to my ears and said, "What do I do with my ears when something stinks?" She says, "Nothing - we hear with our ears!"

So I said, "What about my eyes if something stinks?"

She says, "We just see with eyes."

So I said, "Well, do I LICK something that stinks? What about my tongue??"

And she said, "Mom - You know!!"

So I thought that I would have hit a homerun, and I said, "So, what about your NOSE? What do you do with your NOSE?"

She says (so matter-of-factly), "I pick it."

I almost fell on the floor.

Then I had to tell her, "BESIDES picking it, what do you do with your NOSE?????"

DUH - You SMELL with it, Silly!!!

One day last week, she came into our bedroom while me and Andy were watching television together. She smiles sweetly at us and says, "Are you marinating again?" I smiled at her but wasn't sure what she was talking about.  So I asked her, "Marinating? What do you mean?" She replied "YOU know....MARINATING -- like kissing! Since you're married, you marinate!"

I don't know what this girl has been watching on television lately, but she is a hoot! :-)
