Where Do They Get This Stuff

Yesterday the family and I were doing are normall Sunday after church lunch at Turtles. Nice place to eat the food is good and the best part on Sundays kids eat for a $1. So if you are ever in the big town of Morris and need a place to eat I would recommend it.

Anyway me and Jen had pretty much finished up and were waiting on the kids to finish talking about who knows what. We look over and our youngest was eating her spaghetti with both hands and just shoving it in her face like we hadn't fed her in days. As I type this out I can laugh about it. I can picture her face covered from ear to ear with sauce, cheeks bulging, and a couple noodles that didn't make it all the way in still dangling between her lips. Like I said funny now... not in a restaurant full of people.

So me and Jen proceed to ask her what she is thinking and remind her that she knows better. Wow I just made that sound like we are just the best parents in the world. If I remember right those words were used but not in such a nice way and a bit different tone. Of course she cant answer because she has a face full of food. So this goes on for a minute as we clean her up continue to ask "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU" and say"I CANT BELIEVE YOU" "YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT' "EATING LIKE AN ANIMAL" ETC... (no we weren't yelling just wanted to get the point across that we weren't being exactly nice either)

After all that my 3 year old daughter looks up at me smiles and says in her sweet little innocent voice "I was just getting attention". My wife and I looked at each other with our mouths on the floor and were like where does she get this stuff. The best part of it if you know (knew) my girls at all you know they are the farthest from needing attention. I live with three princess's just ask them they will tell you. Sorry for the long post just to tell a one liner from my 3 year old I guess its a parent thing but it was a good one so I had to share it.
