Pride and Precocious

I’m not particularly proud of several facets of this story.

On my way home from Bible study, my kids having already eaten in the nursery, I decided to go through the drive-thru at Krystal to get myself some lunch. {groan}

Sitting in line, waiting for my turn to order, Carson started complaining about HOW THIRSTY HE WAS!  He was SOOO THIRSTY!  He NEEDED chocolate milk!  CHOCOLATE MILK!!!  OH EM GEE!  (Last exclamation added by me for effect, just a little FYI in case you thought Carson typically ran around saying, “Like, yeah, OH EM GEE!”  No.)

Of course Ella was suddenly parched herself and nearing a certain death if she didn’t get CHOCOLATE MILK!  LIKE NOW!  SOOO THIRSTY!

Krystal isn’t exactly known for their health food, they don’t even offer plain milk on their menu.  Thinking quick on my butt, I offered to order them lemonade.

All screaming ceased and they waited patiently until we arrived home, where they were able to partake of their thirst quenching beverage.  (Not entirely true, but they did stop their “woe is me” moaning.)

Once home, I poured the lemonade into two cups for Carson and Ella.  Ella took one drink and said, “This is SO not beer.”

**************

Other Ella-ism’s include, “I am SO done.”  “I am SO taking a bath.”

I SO have no idea where she gets it.  (And I SO don’t know why she thought her lemonade was supposed to be beer.)

    Why is it that kids always have to have it NOW? Everything is so urgent!

    That is so funny that Ella thought she was getting a beer…where do they SO come up with this stuff? :)

    Haha! SO cute. Sometimes little kids will really surprise you and you’ll find yourself saying. “SO surprising!”…Hehe. Thanks for this fun post.

    Wow, can you guys get beer in your drive through? If so, I may need to move.

    And, btw, my 8yo started saying O.M.G. for a little while and it kind of freaked me out.

    Love those Ella-isms.

    We do not have a Krystal here. Some days it is enough to make me want to move.

    If it makes you feel any better my nine year old actually does say “Oh! Em! Gee!”. He’s never said it in relation to his beverage not being a beer though…

    I take great comfort in knowing that I am not the only mom who:

    a) eats fast food

    b) buys their kids lemonades and such just to get them to stop whining

    The Ella-isms are adorable!

    I think my kids would rather die of thirst than drink lemonade. We’re big on the chocolate milk here, too, unfortunately. Luckily, though, they’ve never confused anything with beer. Maybe she meant root beer?

    Thank you for the laugh this morning!
    Reminds me at our family reunion this summer… my brother told my son (2 1/2) to come ask me for a beer…
    And then later my son told me that “Mimi (a great aunt) drinks funny juice at Papa’s house” (my parent’s house, where the reunion was held)
    I’m just thrilled beyond words since he’s repeated that second phrase multiple times since… oy, family!
