Monsters in the Shower

A few more funny comments from R over the past few days....

Every Friday is 'clean-up' day at the house. I vacuum, clean the washroom, mop, etc. After cleaning the washroom I shut the shower curtain to prevent mold (although the curtain is already totally moldy and mom still hasn't bought a new one... gross). Anytime I notice that the curtain is open, I close it. It always seemed to mysteriously open again, even if nobody had showered. Well, this past Friday R was squirming around, so I asked her if she had to pee. She kind of struggled and refused to go to the bathroom, although it was obvious that she had to go. Finally she revealed that she didn't want to go cus the shower curtain was closed and she was afraid there was a monster in there. So that's why the curtain was always opening...

Somehow, on Friday the subject of nipples came up with R - she brought it up of course (at random). This is how the conversation went:

R - You have those little round things on your boobs don't you?
Amy - Ummm yeah... everyone does
R - I don't ....
Amy - *blank stare*
R - Welll... yeah I do, but they're really little... and I don't have boobs... well I do but they're like this big *hold up pointer finger and thumb in the shape of a little circle* ... YOURS are like *takes both hands and cups my boob* THIS BIG!

I think R's at that stage in life where she's discovering the body......

Last night mom took R to bed. A few minutes later I hear R giggling. Then silence... then more giggling.. silence... hysterical laughter. I'm wondering why R is in her room alone, laughing. Then I hear her say "Mommmmmy!!" And she starts laughing again. So I gather that her mom was lying down with her until she falls asleep. But it seems that mom had fallen asleep first. Then R starts to explain to her mom that she was snoring and making funny noises... only mom is still asleep and I can hear her groan and R starts laughing hysterically again .... THEN mom starts calling out her husband's name, "Steeeve"... more groaning.... uhhhh yeah, I'll just leave it at that. R was totally oblivious to the fact that her mom was having some sort of sex dream while she was asleep in her daughter's bed. And listening to this from the livingroom was hilarious!

So, you may not know this, cus I only talk about R, but she has an older brother, J (11 years old). He's pretty quiet and pretty much does his own thing. He does say the odd comment though. Like on Friday I was asking him what his favorite food was. And he starts to name off all sorts of junk food. "Tacos, pizza.... but only delivery pizza, like not frozen stuff... from like Greco or Uncle Bucks... except the one thing that bothers me about Uncle Bucks is that the people making the pizza look really dirrrty... it's gross."


On an end note, I took the bus a lot of times this weekend and didn't meet a single weirdo... I hope this isn't the end of my bus adventures....
