Mother's Day Morning 2011

This morning Andie blew her nose into a sheet of Kleenex, then pulled out her iPod to illuminate the used Kleenex so she could look at her snot.

(Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!)

10-year-old Girl Wants a Beard

Me: Do you guys know anyone from this list of celebrities? [reads random celebrity names]
Andie: Hm... [thinking, strokes beardless chin] I wish I had a beard to stroke.

*Andie is my 10-year-old cousin who often does and says random things, which is why she's featured in my blog a lot.

Buddha Pees?

Earlier this evening there was a glass full of water on the kitchen counter with a brown plastic Buddha figurine floating face down at the top. It belonged to my 10-year-old cousin, who said she put it there because she wanted to see if it still peed. She wasn't sure if the toy was supposed to be put in cold water and then hot water for Buddha to urinate, or the other way around. She's probably going to get back to it sometime this week.

The toys they make these days...

Rotting Tooth

I was cleaning out some drawers today when I stumbled across an object that turned out to be my little cousin's rotting baby tooth. It must've been in there for at least a few months.
