Boogie Babble

Okay, so Madie and I were in the car this evening and I hear her talking in the back. I ask her what she needs and I think she is saying "baby" and then after looking in the rear view mirror and seeing her eyeing something on her finger I realize she is saying "boogie". I ask her if she has a boogie and she says yes and is trying to hand it to me from the back seat. I'm driving so I can't just turn around and get it and its not like it is something big like a sippy cup that we hand back and forth all the time. So, I ask her to wait until I can make it to the stop sign and then I would get it from her. She says to me clear as day, "okay." So I'm thinking, this is great---she's going to hold onto it until I can stop and turn around and get it from her and put it in one of the napkins that I have stored in the console for times such as this---I usually use them when I spill my drink-- but today I was glad that I had them to dispose of a boogie.

So I stop at the stop sign, turn around and ask Madie to hand me her boogie. She tells me that its "all gone." I said "all gone, where is it?" She tells me again that its "all gone." I said in a stern voice ( I could hardly believe I was saying it ), Madie where is your boogie? In the sweetest voice she looks at me, points to her mouth and says "In dare." How gross! My child says she ate a boogie!

When Hubby got home I told him the story and he asked Madie if she ate a boogie---she just said "car." I hope that I find that boogie somewhere stuck to the seat in the car and that she really didn't eat it.

No, you can't destroy it! You must keep this forever and black-male her! I can't stop laughing at how honest they are at that age. I also wonder if JuJu gave Madie pointers on what to do with your picked boogies, b/c she declares loudly that she has a "boogah" on her finger every time she picks! Of course, that was after I caught her popping a few in her mouth, too. :)
