Never Borrow Money From a Three Year Old......

Taking after her Uncle Ryan, Audrey likes to save her money. She knows the names of the coins and especially loves the "money that is paper and will rip if I step on it." I borrowed 2 singles from her piggy bank to pay for a tip for the JJ delivery guy. The next day she was counting her money and noticed that some "paper money" was missing. I swear I was going to give it back! She was SO mad. She probably asked me 15 times if we could go find the delivery guy to get her money back. I didn't have any one dollar bills to repay her and I was scared if I gave her my 20 I'd never get it back! Who would have ever guessed???

She also informed me that when we go to Disney World she wants me to pay because she doesn't want to give anyone her money. She told me that when she's old, she is never going to give any one her money. Either she's going to be a really good klepto or a really good mooch!

On another funny note, Audrey also asked me, "When is my sweet tooth going to come back. Because a sweet tooth is the best kind of tooth in the world." I have to agree with her on that one.

And finally, one last Audreyism. She wanted to know where her "flowers" (weeds) went that she brought in the house. I told her that they died and we would have to get new ones from outside. She told me that she wanted the old ones back and they could come back from the dead because Jesus could come back from the dead. I guess we've read the Easter Story one too many times and need to do a little more explaining! Explaining religious issues to a 3 year old can be interesting!

We leave for Orlando in 2 days! Wish us luck on the plane with a crazy 17 month old!
