As we rung in the New Year with a day of complete and utter laziness, ordering out for supper on the First was an absolute must. Since the girls had eaten but a short time before our favorite Thai delivery guy rang the bell, Hubby and I dug in, certain that the rug rats were quite full. That would have been way too easy!
Within moments of my first bite of pad Thai, Princess and Drama Queen stomped into the room, prepared to investigate our meal in the most thorough of manners. Scaling their chairs with monkeylike skill, the darlings began to demand their fair share.
Princess: “hey! Where’s my plate?! I’m hungry. I want some too.”
Hubby: “you just finished eating.”
themommykelly (thinking to self, pregnantly focusing entirely on food): “Yes, this is definitely curbing the craving.”
Princess: “I want some please.”
Hubby (scrambling for Princess’ plate in the hope of avoiding more whining so as not to drive pregnant wife over the hormonal edge) “ok. Would you like some…. ???Etc.”
Princess: “Where is my plate?”
Hubby: “here you go, darling. Enjoy.”
themommykelly (thinking to self, miserably moody despite curbing the craving): “thank God. Could he take any longer?”
Drama Queen: (perilously standing on her chair, staring at her sister’s food and then at themommykelly) “WHERE MY PLATE?!!!!”
Hubby: “coming right up, sweetheart.”
Dinner continued with several silly discussions and a huge laugh as we recalled a recently entertaining matter involving Princess. Apparently the child is in love with Diego from Nickelodeon’s “Go Diego Go” that is often aired on Noggin. Somehow while at Grandma’s last week, she made that liking her “secret” and progressed to finding the whole matter the most hilarious in the world especially when provoked. Themommykelly, being the nut that she is, just couldn’t resist a little nudging of the Princess on the Diego subject. (I’m sorry, but the kid is just too cute when you ask her about it. She even blushes! Ha!) A few “Go Diego go”es later, Princess was shouting at us to stop:
Princess: “Stop! Be quiet! Hee-hee. Ha-ha. Don’t say it anymore! I am eating!”
Drama Queen (her older sister’s ever faithful companion and staunch supporter): “Top! Doey eating!”
themommykelly (laughing uncontrollably, to Hubby): “did you hear that?”
Hubby (laughing along) “Yeah.”
Drama Queen (with the utmost seriousness): “QWWWWWIIIIIET!”
More laughing from the peanut gallery here!!!!
Drama Queen (now truly shouting and serious as all hell): “QWWWWWW-IIIIII-E-T! NOT FUNNY!”
themommykelly (to self) “Oh, yes! Seriously funny and decidedly blogworthy!
the kids provide the best blog fodder!
LOL! I love it
