Day 268/365: Bubble blizzard

[nanila]

Humuhumu blowing lots of tiny bubble with her Bubble Blizzard.

Do you know that feeling when a child is 7000x cooler than you ever will be? I had it when I fed Humuhumu a new dish and asked her how she liked it. She gave the subtlest shrug of one shoulder and said without missing a beat, “Comme ci, comme ca.” (So-so in French) Y’all. She's five years old. I can't even.

So hip it hurts. Good job, Mom.

She was singing French songs to me in the car this evening and explaining the lyrics.

Attends, Quoi, Je ne... même pas?!?!? =8oO

[nanila]

Ha. I know so little French, I had to run that through Google Translate. :P

[pbristow]

How do you think I got it in the first place? =;o}

Tiny little sophisticate!!

[nanila]

It was the little shrug that did me in. :D

[lurkingcat]

Coolest kid :)

[nanila]

I don't know where she gets it from!

[lurkingcat]

Heh. My brother keeps saying that he and sister-in-law aren't sure where their daughters have got their poise and confidence from. I'm choosing to believe that a lot of this generation of parents have learned from the mis-steps of previous generations ;)

I like the Bubble Blizzard.

And I think that a child who can express opinions so much like that might be ready to start learning the process and time it takes to plan menus and cook meals.

[nanila]

We need to start doing that, yes, I agree.

I'm pretty sure the ability to be Cool expires once one passes about 27, unfortunately

I suppose it's a good thing that I'm quite comfortable being a complete dork these days. Might as well embrace it!

[nanila]

Yep, I'm quite happy not to be cool. It's great. :D
