Zoe Needs Her Own TV Show & Shynea Tried to Kill My 1st Grader

I’ve never ever been around a kid more naturally hilarious than my ZoeBug. Shynea (you may know her from PennyPinchingDiva.com) dropped by for a little while and she had two quite amusing conversations with Zoe…

The first…

Setting: Shynea’s sitting on the couch eating. Zoe walks up and starts staring at her, then at her food:

Zoe: Are you finished?

Shynea: No.

Zoe: Are you gonna eat you fish all?

Shynea: Yes. {She says this AS Zoe is trying to pinch a piece…}

Zoe: Do you want it?

Shynea: It has vinegar on it. You don’t want to eat it. {Seriously, Shy? You eat fish with VINEGAR on it? Gross, dude.}

Zoe: I do want it. I will eat it all.

Zoe grabs the fish as we both tell her it’s going to be nasty. She looks at us, trying to figure out if we’re just saying that so she’ll leave it alone or if it was really going to be nasty. I suppose she got the vibe that we were being genuine (or decided that it wasn’t worth the risk to find out) and she gave it back.

SIDENOTE: Avalyn wasn’t so lucky. She acted like she was being hospitable and took Shynea’s plate to the kitchen. A few seconds later, she ran screaming into the bathroom to gargle mouthwash then came out crying hysterically, “Why did you dooooo that?!?!” because it was just.that.nasty. That’s right. Shynea tried to kill my first grader! Shame on you, man. :( lol

The second…

Setting: Shynea’s in her car about to pull out of the driveway. Zoe stops her:

Zoe: Can I go with you?

Shynea: You don’t have a bag. Where are your clothes? Your shoes? You don’t even have a toothbrush!

Zoe: That’s ok. I can wear these clothes {as she points to the shirt she has on}. And I can fit you baby’s shoes.

Shynea: What about your toothbrush?

Zoe: {turns to me and points to the front door} I want you to go get my toothbrush! {turns back to Shynea and points to the back door of her car} Unlock it for me!

LOL We were cracking up. The way she says things is much more comical when you hear it come out of her mouth… she’s so demanding and matter-of-fact with everything. And there is NO stumping her. Every challenge you present, she counters immediately. The child has better logic than most adults I know. :)

Honorable Mention:

Tre brought two of his friends inside to play Madden 2012 with him. The last one left the door open and Tre turned around and threw his hands up and mumbled, “Ya gotta shut the door, man… my mama’s money is flying out!” I suppose he really was listening the ten thousand times I told them it costs me moolah when they let the cool air out ;)
