Jiya to Ryan, while we were driving somewhere "Can you please open the lid?"
(Me thinking - What is she eating? Who gave her something to eat that has a lid?)
Ryan: "sure" (opens the moonroof cover)
🤯🤯
Me: can you please get a marker of another color, because I don't like brown (on her look & find book)
J: how can you not like brown when you are brown???
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Jiya was being quiet, so I said "what's up kiddo? What's going on?"
J: I'm trying to think of something to worry about, but I can't think of anything...
Oona was asking for some dehydrated apple chips, and I said "ok, but you didn't like them yesterday..."
J: I heard about the "3 bite rule"
Me: what's that?
J: I'll tell you, but don't do it to me
🤣
Me: do you know why we ask you to eat food?
J (crying): coz I don't like food?
Me: 😱 no... We ask you to eat so you can get bigger
J: and strong?
Me: yes, and strong
J (crying increases) but you didn't say strong!!
(🤦♀️Today was a hard day)
J: how will our candy shooter work at Halloween?
R: what candy shooter?
Me (connecting the dots...): oh! Candy chute. Not candy shooter. Right, they're pronounced the same, but they are different (ugh, English).
(Jiya rambled on & on and said something that I didn't understand)
Me: can you say that again pls?
J: no.
Me: No?
J: I don't think I can. It was too long.
Me: Sabrina, who drives your school bus? A man or a woman?
S: a person
Me: a person who is a girl or a boy?
S: a girl
Me: what's her name?
S: Ms carrot
Me: carrot??
S: Mm, mm, mm.. (helpfully sounding out the M sound for me) miss carrot, yes
(It's Ms Karen ❤️)
Jiya came back from the fruit stand and very excitedly told Ryan "we got a new fruit called Pluto!"
R: hmmm, that sounds familiar... Pluot! You got pluots? Cool!
💯
Me: remember this place? We went here to get money for Bhanu Mama?
J: yeah! Now he has a tank full of money!
Me: "tank full of money"?? Where did u hear that? Who said that?
J: u did!
Me: Doesn't sound like my words...
J: yes, u said he'll put money in his tank..
Me: bank! 🤦♀️🤣
J: is milk cow's pee?
Me: no. It comes out of cow's tummy.
J: does it come out of gutter?
Me: udder, yes, it comes out of cow's udders.
J: do people have udders?
Me: yes...
(She got distracted after that, thankfully)
