Another Edition of 'That's What She Said'

by: Mary Grace

"Do you think we're on the upside down part of the world right now? I'm feeling a little tilty today?"

_________________

Day after the Super Bowl

Sarah: "Did you have fun last night?"

Mary Grace: "kind of. I feel like there was too much football and not enough Beyonce"

_______________

MG: "I like to eat the healthy stuff first and save the unhealthy stuff until the end"

Sarah: "So why are you eating the pretzels and not the apples?"

MG: "Pretzels are really good for you. They help your teeth get stronger."

_______________

"I don't know the answer off the top of my head. Maybe I stored it in the bottom part. Let me check"

(long pause)

"nope. nope. Definitely don't know the answer anywhere in my head."

_______________

MG: "I would be ESPECED to do that"

Sarah: "what?"

MG: "oh. ESPECED is a new word I made up. Using new words makes you sound smart."

Sarah: (mumble) "actually not"

MG: "So mom, you don't know what it means? ESPECED means- oh my gosh, I would be delighted"

Mary Grace's Teacher told me this story. She said the sassy attitude was through the roof, but that's what made it so funny. 

A couple teachers were talking and asked Mary Grace if UT beat FL the night before.

She put her hand on her hip and said "of course they did"

A blonde moment:

MG: "Hey mom, can I have something to dip my chicken in?"

Sarah: "Sure. Ketchup?"

MG: "no, I don't like tomatoes. Can I have pizza sauce?"

______________

So to preface this story, I think MG has heard from one of her friends that Santa isn't real. She's asked me a couple of times, but when we talk about it she always falls back into believing. I know she's just testing me and I'm not too upset because I'm pretty sure she's still got a year or two of believing left in her. But she's smart...so the very practical side of her comes out every once in a while.

Talking about something totally random like Strawberry Shortcake...

MG: "Are you serious?"

Sarah: "Mommy doesn't lie"

MG: "except about that Santa thing"

I could have died when she said that! But I think I played it off pretty cool!

_______________

MG: "Harrison told me he's a Kentucky fan"

Brent: "Did you say 'Go Vols'?"

MG: "No, I just backed away slowly"

Dinner one night-

MG: "my tooth is loose! my tooth is loose!"

Brent/Sarah: (so excited) "wow!"

MG proceeds to pull something out of her mouth-

Brent/Sarah: GASP!

MG: "oh wait, it was just chicken"
