Kids say the funniest things!

I have to tell you all about the girls I kind of nanny/help tutor them ( they call me their nanny which is funny because I used to have a lady I called nanny and she was a mom who made quilts, baked, decorated wedding cakes and throws cookie decorating parties. She is a much better nanny than I am!) But anyways, there are four girls, Rivers the youngest, then Mandy, Ryleigh and Shalah. They are such a joy to be around, not just the girls but also their wonderful mom Jenny. I could go on and on about them and what a wonderful family they are and how much I love them so I have to just get to the point! The two youngest girls amaze me with the imagination they have, but especially Rivers the youngest. Rivers ( 6 yrs old) has a huge imagination and sometimes will tell me things that are so off the wall, and she is so serious! I love it! One day she asked why I was not getting a house with a pool, because she said they are very cheap and if the house does not already have one, you just need a couple shovels...she offered to help dig the pool! :)

Anyways, the most current story I have was when I was in the kitchen with her. She began by telling me it makes her sad that she can't read the big books and she only gets to read the short ones..so I told her that that's why we read the short ones and after practicing those enough you get to move up to the longer books. Apparently I was not understanding so she continued to say I want to read the big books, with the big words. She said, " I just really wish I could read the curse words like adults can." You can imagine my shock! So I ask her twice about it, then I told her I did not like that she wanted to read curse words (by this time Jenny was in there just as confused as I was). Next she tells us that she will show us the only curse word she knows and I am still just so shocked that she even knows how to spell them! Finally she walks in, and writes an A for us... after a few moments Jenny said, "Rivers do you mean CURSIVE?! " And of course that's what she wanted to read!

That was a pretty long story, I could make a whole blog about these girls and the fun times I have with them! I will post about the other girls also it would be way too long of a post to write about all four, there is so much to say about them!

Here is a picture of Rivers that definitly fits her personality!
