Lucy will be 3 in a about 2 weeks.
She’s at the stage where everything she thinks comes out of her mouth (I guess some people never get out of that stage).
Today her winner comments both had to do with Esther our househelp.
The first, announced to the whole family when Esther come out of the bathroom: “Esther went potty! Look everyone, Esther went potty!” Esther was a good sport and laughed it off.
The second announcement was in the car as I was going to pick Eli up from school and we were giving Esther a lift.
“Mom, Esther’s stinky!” Ok, so yes, she has a particularly potent African odor to her, but I think that I am getting used to it and don’t notice it anymore.
No one commented. I tried to pass it off and save embarassment for everyone by saying, “Oh, Lucy, I think you are the stinky one!”
She insisted that she wasn’t, kept on with the stinky comments, and then progressed I think to saying it “Smelt poopy” when I told her to stop the potty talk and we were finished with that!
