  • Popsicles & The ‘Why’ Question

    Zoe’s Daily Funny:
    Zoe was cuddling up to her dad this morning in bed and I kept tickling her feet. She yelled out,

    Zoe: GO AWAY!!!
    Me: Eww.
    Zoe: Come again another day.

    Hahaha…I think she learned the song in school.

    Zoe, out of the blue, started calling me mom. It started about 2 thursdays ago. By saturday it was “Mom” this and “Mom” that. I said “Zoe, don’t call me mom ok. Call me mommy.” She said “Ok umma” then a few minutes later “Mom! Mom!” *sigh* I love the sound of mommy. It’s like music to my ears. Mom? That’s like something I’m waiting to hear when she’s like 16. “Mom did you wash my favorite pair of jeans?” or “Mom don’t embarrass me in front of my boyfriend.” I’m not ready for Mom yet. And where in the heck did she pick it up from? School? Kids in daycare call their mommies ‘mom’?

    I prefer popsicles over ice cream. So does Zoe. The hubs bought this Dora popsicle that Zoe loves and we have it every night after dinner. Whenever it’s popsicle time I just blurt out “I want red!” and then Zoe yells out “I WANT RED!” Mine is just for fun to tease her. This little one gets all hostile like she’s the ONLY one who can have red. And she will fight me at the fridge while the hubs is taking them out. Last week my sister Nancy slept over and we had eaten out for dinner. While we were driving back I told Zoe to ask her aunt if she wanted a popsicle after we got home.

    Zoe: Nancy eemoh you want a popsicle?
    Nancy: Sure.
    Zoe: You want an orange one?
    Nancy: Hmmm no. I think I want a red one.
    Zoe: No. Do you want an orange one?
    Nancy: No I really want a red one.
    Zoe: No. Do you want an orange one?

    By the way, there is no red one. It only comes in pink, purple, orange, and green.

    So we are now having conversations with her. And yesterday she took it to the ‘why’ level. We were watching the Buzz Lightyear cartoon and Zurg comes out and she asked why all the aliens were crying.

    Zoe: Why are they crying?
    Me: Because Zurg took their ball.
    Zoe: Why?
    Me: Because he’s mean.
    Zoe: Why?
    Me: Because he was born that way.
    Zoe: Why?
    Me: Because I say so.

    Dear God already?!

    This is one of my hubs’ favorite places to eat. And they have free ice cream after you’re done that you can scoop yourself.
