I'm a big girl now..

So, apparently I'm in college. I mean, that's what people keep telling me. What does that mean, exactly? No more Hello Kitty bandaids? I have to get over my Dora obsession? I have to be potty trained...?

...

Not an option.

OR MAYBE!!!

oooook I'm trying to think at maturity level.

...I have to pee.

Kids say the darndest things, pt 1

I think I'm gonna make this an installment piece, as I remember things I'll post them eventually. But kids say funny things like a million times a day so it's hard to remember particular instances.. here's just a few of the "gems" (be afraid)
Funny things my nieces/nephews say:

Me: Ok Sumayah sit on the toilet, Dadi is coming soon
Ami: Why can't you wash her? All of your sisters used to wash you, uptil you were seven years old! Tumhe sharam nehi aati?
Me: Eww Ami I am NOT washing anyone, plus what if I do it wrong?? Then you'll have a rashy Sumayah, and all because you made me wash her
Sumayah: Amna Phupho WASH ME!!

Two days later...
Sumayah: Mujhe pishi arehihain!
Rabea: Ok Amna take her
Me: Uh...
Rabea: Just do it, okay?
Sumayah: DO IT! WASH ME!

Kids these days.
