More Wisdom from Little Bee (now 5)

Scene: Grocery Store, peanut butter Isle

Little Bee: "We need to get crunchy"
Me: "Why? We always get creamy"
Little Bee: "Because, I like crunchy"
Me: "Since when?"
Little Bee: "Since always"!
Me: "How come I wasn't aware of that? I have always used creamy peanut butter".
Little Bee: "Because Mommy, I am little and often overlooked ................."

We bought both.

"My Emotions" by Ms. Bean

The emotions of a 7 year old ..... as told by a 7 year old.

When I grow up ................

Now that school is over, I decided to do a bi-annual assessment of our "rainy day cabinet", to see what could be pitched, and what needed to be restocked. On a bottom shelf, there were two Fairfax County Police Coloring Books which our dear friend Officer Trivett gave to the girls over Spring Break.

Clearly, they came home from the Sully Police Station and dutifully completed their assignment, which concluded with drawing themselves as future police ladies:

Ms. Bean will be an exact replica of her current self, plus a badge and gun ..................

Blizzard Art

The DC area is covered with more snow then I have seen in 30 years. The girls can only go out for a few moments at a time, and then they remember how wet and uncomfortable snow can be and flee to the warm safety of the house. We have been inside for close to a week, living on hot chocolate, wine, popcorn, and frozen pizza. At this point, nothing is where it is supposed to be and all TV rules and bedtimes have been discontinued until at least Monday. It is a free for all!

Today, at the height of a Blizzard that closed down Dullas Airport for the first time EVER, I decided to take a tiny bite out of the elephant and straiten the kitchen table. At the bottom of the piles of stickers, crayons, and coloring books that were stationed in what used to be the "family command center", I found the following treasures. Something tells me that my kids are getting by just fine ................................


Ms. Bean's Solar System. Pluto will ALWAYS be a planet to us!



Little Bee tells me that this is a "house with an interesting window". Who doesn't LOVE abstract art?

Overheard ..................

Tom (to little Bee): “So, how was your dinner”
Little Bee: “I didn’t have dinner”
Tom (after a pause): “yes you did. I brought you a Happy Meal. Remember?”
Little Bee: “that wasn’t dinner. That was lunch”
Tom: “No, that was your dinner.”
Little Bee “No, McDonalds is lunch. Dinner is healthy, and tastes bad”.

Happy Earth Day!

Every day is Earth Day, in the world of Ms. Bean!
