Actually, it was more like three miles of musings, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it now, does it?
Like most weekends, we spent Saturday morning running errands. I drag the poor, tortured Kidling along on my jaunts about town while her father does the laundry or undertakes a random house project or two.
Yes, I know how lucky I am.
On this rainy morning in the span of just a few miles, Alice produced. When we reached our exit, I found myself without my trusty notebook and frantically dug through my handbag for something made of paper. Then I wrote like a damn fool. Below I present the product of this mile o’ musings. In order, to emphasize the randomness of it all.
“I’ll never run away from you in the woods.”
“My skin feels like it needs some candy.”
“I don’t like real pigs. They’re too messy. They’re too sloppy, so that’s why I don’t like real pigs. I’m not going to invite them to my birthday. If they would eat my cake, then all it would be would be crumbs with frosting on top. So, that’s why I’m not going to invite them to my birthday. If I see one, I’m not even going to say ‘hi,’ because then it might want to come in. I’ll check the windows and Dad will check the doors. I’ll check the windows and Dad will check the doors so the pigs don’t come in”
Silence
“(whispers) Alice Munchkin Kid-LING. Alice Munchkin Kid-LING. Alice Munchkin Kid-LING.”
I’ve said it before and I will say it many, many more times. I would do just about anything to know what happens in that little kidling head of hers.

Too funny! I especially like the idea of her whispering her little name to herself, like an incantation… Maybe that’s her little ‘brain pump’ to get herself ready for the next round of delightful observations. 🙂
Ha! I think she was actually practicing her phonics and trying to differentiate between two consonants in her last name. It was darling, regardless.
Well, no teacup pig as a pet for you then. I hope you aren’t too disappointed. 😉
I am heartbroken.
Wow…she definitely didn’t disappoint!! But then again, she never does..:-)
Never, never, never disappoints. Ever.
I LOVE IT!!!
Alllllll Zofia can talk about lately is parties and Friday and coffee. That kid did NOT fall far from the tree.
These are a few of my favorite things…
Maybe that’s why my skin is dry… I need more candy! Thank you Alice Munchkin Kidling!!! (love to see the pout back)
Grab the Skittles! And it was killing me not to see the pout each day. I had to bring her back. 🙂
And that is why this is my favorite age.
Exactly! I never know what is going to happen, and I sort of love it that way.
Never did like pigs. They tend to think that some animals are more equal than others.
There’s that. And they stink. Case closed.
