Turn Your Head and Laugh Moments

Here are a couple stories from the last week or so.
Story 1
This morning we were all in the kitchen. I told Lexi to feed her fish, she said OK. Next thing you know there is major issues coming from around the fish bowl. Jon said, "What's the problem?" Lexi then informed him that she didn't want Gracie to LOOK at Goldie. Jon told her of course Gracie could look at Goldie she wasn't hurting him. Lexi then said, "But I am the boss of him!! Sometimes it is OK, but sometimes he just Freaks Out!!!!" I had to laugh. Then while Grace was looking at Goldie she noticed that Lexi had spilled a little food on the counter and she began to let me know. So Lexi (whimpering) said, "She was going to tell on me." I, laughing again, said, "What?" Lexi (almost in tears), "I am just really crabby this morning!!"

Now, I did feel a little sorry for her at this point because we all get a little crabby once in awhile. She did cheer up before school.

Story 2
Tonight at dinner here was our conversation. Lexi, "Who painted my carrots orange?" Jon, "God did." Gracie, "I helped God make them, when I was a baby." Lexi, "Oh yea that's right, tight, might, night, light."
WHAT?
So, let's recap...Gracie, with God's help, made carrots orange, and Lexi is really into rhyming.

Story 3
Gracie just hit Lexi so I sent her to her room. From her room I hear, "Mommy, Mommmmmmy, Mommy can I come out?" Now we have three rules violated 1. hitting 2. not on bed 3. talking while in trouble. So, what's a parent to do, go storming down the hallway to remind her of the last two rules. When I got to her room and flung open the door all I saw was her little body flying (literally) onto her bed and bouncing a few times because she got so much air. I tried to compose myself to stay stern, but there was no hope for me, the mad, rule following mom had left and all I could do was stand there and laugh. I did remind her to stay in her room on her bed without talking, but I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
