My mom went with me and the kids to Target the other day, and while I was stopped looking at something, my mom leaned into Liam's carrier and gave him a big kiss. Olivia saw her and yelled, "Don't kiss him! He's a boy and boys are JEEERRRRKS!" What made it even crazier was the way she said "jerks." She really emphasized it and kind of sang the word. I wanted to laugh, but my first reaction was shock because I couldn't figure out where she'd heard such a thing, and then I remembered. My sister had said men were jerks a few times after she broke up with her boyfriend and after she'd had a few really bad dates. I guess Olivia was listening.

The THINGS that have come out of Skippy's mouth at times, I really have to bite my tongue sometimes and not react, hoping that he doesn't repeat it for a reaction. It's funny how sometimes - we see OURSELVES mirrored back at us through them. :)
