In the car the other night, Ari started talking about how she thinks that Nan (her great grandmother) wears a wig, which led to a discussion about how some people's hair changes color when they get older. So, naturally, that led to this...
Ari: Is my hair going to change color when I get older?
Tony: Not until you get really, really old.
Ari: Like Mommy?
I so knew she was going to say that.
We were at my parents' house a few weeks ago, and they gave Ari a little container of candy corn to take home (the 2 of them have gotten her totally hooked on that stuff). I told her she could hold the container in the car, but that she couldn't eat any.
About halfway home, out of nowhere, Ari says, in this sad little voice, "Daddy? Tell Mommy that I am SO sorry."
We exchanged a confused look, and then Tony asked Ari, "OK... why?"
In the same sad voice, she replied, "Because I accidentally ate one candy corn."
I whispered to Tony, "Uh... did she just tattle on herself?" And then I had to try so hard not to burst out laughing. Because, honestly, it was dark, and she ate only one piece... there is no way I would have ever known she did that. But I guess SHE didn't know that.
I am amused that she said "accidentally" too. Silly kid.
Speaking of candy corn... this happened on a totally separate occasion... Ari was playing in her room when I called her for something. I don't even remember what it was, but I called out her name as I was approaching her room, only to hear her sigh and say, "I wish you would just let me concentrate on eating my candy corn."
I was driving in the car with Ari a couple weeks ago, and out of nowhere, she told me that she has a pet lobster, for real, that lives in her sleeve and is very shy. I thought it was cute, and later tried to get her to tell Tony about her pet lobster. But she made ME look like the idiot when she said, "Oh, Mama, I was just joking about that. There's no lobster."
And last but not least... Ari's latest artwork, which is currently adorning my cubicle. She's very into writing her whole name now ("Ariana" rather than just "Ari")...
