Michaela stories

Here are two pretty funny Michaela stories from the last few days:

- Yesterday, right before dinner, Michaela inadvertantly stepped on KiKi the cat's (or meow-meow, as Jenna calls her) tail. KiKi meowed pretty loudly in protest and ran away. Michaela was startled by this and said as she was sitting down to dinner, "Geesh... KiKi scared the hell out of me!" I was able to hold it together enough to tell her that's not a nice word ("Say 'heck' instead, honey...") but then had to cough into a napkin to hide that I was laughing so hard. Dan almost choked on his food, too.

- Today we were in the car with our Aunt Joan aka JuJu and Michaela says, "Mommy?... uh, nevermind... JuJu? Can we go to the dollhouse store today?" I guess she has figured out who is the more likely person to take her! Then as they were leaving, I called to JuJu, "Don't let her sucker you into buying too much!" so Michaela turns around and says, "I won't!"
She did return with a t.v., a little dollhouse for her dollhouse, and a tiny dog. She wanted the 4 person family and JuJu tried to put her off, saying she didn't have enough money. Michaela told her not to worry, her Gammie has enough money and will get it for her. M's got the world all figured out.

We are off tonight to see the Learning Fair at Michaela's school... a display of the work they've done all year. It should be pretty cute.
