Taking Donations for Carlysle's Law School Fund

I have determined that Carlysle is destined to be an attorney (which her Uncle Andy will like). It's either that or she will be a negotiator, like the movie, where she will be responsible for talking people down off roofs and bridges. This skill she has mastered has to come in use, or to clarify, good use at some point. Of course as I start to think of examples, I've forgotten all of the things she's said. Here is one conversation that occurred yesterday. A little history first.....everyday we have a "discussion" about what classifies as a "snack". This is because she always asks for a snack when I'm busy feeding or changing Callie. So she goes and looks in the pantry/refrigerator/candy cabinet and brings back things that aren't snacks. Mostly cookies, ice cream, Popsicle, candy, etc.

Carlysle: (Holding a bag of marshmallows) Momma, can I have these for snack?

Me: No, Carlysle those are treats. A marshmallow isn't a snack.

Carlysle: Well Momma, you can "call" it a snack if you want to.

Yes, that's right folks, you can "call "something whatever you want to.........and that makes it become what you want.

So I'm now driving a BMW x5.

More stories to come........
