A Thoughtless Remark

C is still coughing a lot at night, so I put some vapor rub on her.

Me:  Mmmmmmm!  You smell good!
C:  You mean that chest rub gunk?  Yuck!  You like that smell?
Me:  Well, I didn't when I was a kid, but now I know that it helps you breathe.  It clears your head.
C:  WHAT?  Clears my head?  Get this stuff off of me!

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Me:  No!  Don't jump down those stairs!!
C (jumps):  Ta da!
Me:  I told you not to jump!  What happened to your English?
C:  Es ist isn't gut!

Polling Well

C, at bedtime:  You're almost the best parent in our family!

Vintage

The other day we were at Jimmy's swimming lesson.  C and I sit next to the pool, but there isn't much to do.  We often end up playing I Spy to pass the time.  It was her turn.

C:  I spy with my little eye... (looks around, then directly at my face) ...something pink!  Well, not exactly pink.  Old pink.  I spy something OLD pink.

Me:  My lips?

C:  Yes!!!  How'd you guess so fast?
