sass in her car seat on the way to school is heard singing,

“row, row row your boat gently down the stream, rolly, rolly, rolly, rolly, life in not a stream!”

overheard on monitor this morning being sung by sass,

“the itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout – down came came the rainbow wash it every day…”

very long wait at friend.ly’s. L mumbles under her breath as the waitress passes our table for the 31st time without taking our check,

“are you kidding me???”

sassy says aloud, pointing at waitress as she walks past our table again,

“MOMMY, SHE KIDDING YOU!!!”

on the same night, driving home from an almost-2-hour dinner experience at friend.ly’s, L and i are cracking up about the sassy’s sassiness to the point of tears, the kids are getting laughing in the back seat, though clearly unsure of what is so funny. all of a sudden we hear screech yell, “(sassy), I HAVE A PENIS! YOU HAVE A ‘GINA!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!”

clearly, that was the funniest thing he could come up with.

i took sassy to the ICA for the first time to see an shepar.d faire.y’s exhibit. as we walk into the room where the portrait of o.bama is hanging, she runs up and yells, “MAMA, O.BAMA IS LOOKIN AT ME!!!!!!!!!!” of course everyone in the room is cracking up. she then walks past the portrait of dr. king and says, “hi, dr. king!”  and then proudly walks into the next room.
