IS THAT A FULL MOON I SEE?

Tuesday, after I had been out of town for eight days, my husband and I decided to take our daughter and head to Park City for a Family Day. We had originally intended to ride the Alpine Slide a couple of times and then go to lunch in Historic Downtown Park City. Instead we ended up with all day passes and dinner. We had a blast! We ended up riding the Alpine Slide once and the Alpine Coaster about five times – it was by far the most fun of the two slides. My daughter also wanted to climb the rock wall. This is where my story gets funny.

Keep in mind that my daughter is a very independent almost 7 year old who likes to pick her own clothes and will only wear skirts and dresses. Anyway, she got all harnessed in the climbing gear and began to proceed up the wall. As she got further up I happened to look up and see that underneath her nice skirt she was wearing underwear with no ass! I kid you not! She was mooning everyone at the bottom. I about fell over not sure whether to cringe or to laugh! I think she felt the wind on her bottom because she quickly came down and said she was finished! I still laugh when I think of what a sight she was! How embarrassing! I could have sworn I had gotten rid of all of her holy panties, but she must have snuck these past me. When she got down and was at my side I whispered, “Why did you wear panties with no butt?”

She shrugged her shoulders and said, “I don’t know.”

After her climb, she wanted to jump on the trampoline that they harness you to the elastics and then you jump, so I told her to make sure she tucked her skirt in the harness this time!

LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE

Summer vacation is upon us and I have the good fortune to have a sister that is a teacher so she is off summers also, thus enabling her to tend my 6 year old daughter. My sister decided to buy a family season pass to the local zoo and she put down that she had five children (vice the three she really has) so that she could include my daughter and other niece. This leads me to the most recent escapade to the zoo.

My sister decided to take her three kids, my daughter, our nephew, and a family friend with her. Since none of them look like her she told them that if anyone asked them they were to say that they were her foster kids – I find this hilarious because only one of her three kids resembles her. Anyway, they get to the gate and for the first time since she has had the pass the attendant asks to see her identification. So while she is getting it out, my daughter runs up and says, “This is my mommy.” Well my niece (who is a year older than my daughter) decides that at this moment she is going to be jealous, so she begins arguing with my daughter.

She says, “No she isn’t! She’s MY mommy!”

Then Bella hollers, “She is not! She IS MY mommy!”

“She is my mommy and her name is Kristina Davis!” my niece finally hollers.

To which my precocious daughter replies, “Fine! She’s really my aunt but she told us to lie so we could get in the zoo for free!”

My sister said she wanted to die! The attendant raises her eyebrows but doesn’t say a thing and my sister just took her ID and walked through the gate as if it never happened. I told her that is what you get when you ask a six year old to lie!
