The funny things (my) kid says

   So I've been keeping a mental record of the funny things Cadence has said to me, with the thought that someday I could share those with her. Who am I kidding?! I can't remember where I put my car keys! With that in mind, I decided to make this the subject of my blog. It seems as if one day Cadence went from a baby to a little person, who suddenly new what things were and used words I was sure I had not told her. She became very interested in how things work and her favorite word became, WHY. Everything....why? Somedays I am patient and take the time to explain why the sun shines and why cars don't have mommies and daddies. However, somedays I make a rule she can not say the word why the rest of the car ride home, b/c my brain is simply overwhelmed. She has recently said some things I must make note of so I can always remember them and I would like to share those with you.... 
  We were on our way home from a stay at Nana's and she tells me, "I love pickles, but I don't love you." Now, I've never thought of pickles as much competition, but as she let me know, I had been replaced by pickles!
  Around dinner time, after a busy day, she asked me for a Happy Meal. We loaded up in the car and off to Mickey D's we went. As we were getting our happy meal, she tells me she wants to be a McDonald's worker for Halloween. She had previously asked to be a nurse, a doctor, a ballerina, a ghost, a witch, but a McDonald's worker?... I was speechless, as was the cashier who overheard her request.
 When at her uncle Mark's football game, a young guy with an afro walked by and she looked at him and said, "you have big hair." He looked at me, I blushed a little and then he smiled. He must be familiar with the the crazy things kids say.
  Recently she's been asking God for a baby sister. She understands she's having a little brother and she's not very happy about it. One day she asked me if when she had a baby, it could be a girl. I told her she would have to ask God. Without hesitation, she looks up to the sky and says, "God can I have a girl baby?" Then she looks back and me and says, "He said yes." Man, I love that kid and the funny things she says...
