what she said

December 7, 2010 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, My Girls 14 Comments

Angela.

As usual.

On considering her mother’s nickname: “Maggie’s a funny name, Mommy. It kind of sounds like maggot.”

On getting philosophical about the future: “It’s going to be hard to choose a man to marry, because there’s no one I know and there’s no one I like.”

And finally, on demanding entry to her mother’s bedroom and hearing me call out, “Just a minute, I’m getting dressed!”

“That’s okay, Mommy! I promise I won’t laugh!”

Excuse my daughter; she’s only six.

Though in a way she’s sixty.

    Lol! She's a hoot. (oh, sorry, that almost came out Hottie!)

    If it makes you feel any better, and I'm sure it won't, my oldest (21) calls my 8 year old Margaret "Maggot". Angela is very astute.

    I hope you are putting all of these 'Angela-isms' into a book for her – it would make for a great 21st present or just a 'pick-me-up' for when you're feeling blue.
    She's priceless!

    Cheers – Joolz

    I was sharing these with my husband and the kids had to come hear and have me repeat them.

    We all had a good laugh. Thanks for sharing!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
