Too Funny...


So- On Tuesdays Kenna goes and plays with Grandma Kathie (Mac's mom) and as usual- she just says whatever is on her little mind- but this one was pretty funny so I had to share. Anyhow- McCarrey mowed our lawn last week- but until our brand new "yard waste" garbage can gets delivered we were bagging the grass and taking it over to my parents cans. Anyhow- after last weeks mowing we were too lazy and didn't get the bags of grass taken over until a few days later. By that time of course they had sat out in the sun with the sprinklers dousing them every couple of days. SO- needless to say they were smelling just awful!! However- garbage day rolled around again, and Mac (determined to get rid of them) loaded them into our car and drove them over to my folks house to get rid of them. Which made the car stink like crazy for a couple of days! I am talking horrible- barf- nasty- want to kill yourself when you get in the car- awful!!
It was pretty funny in a way though- because the next day I went to load Kennedy in the car and she starts screaming- "No- I don't want to! There's poop in there!" I just started to laugh and tried to explain that it wasn't really poop- it just smelled like it. All the while thinking- that was the end of it. Well- Tuesday rolls around and I am pulling up to drop Kennedy off with Grandma- and Kenna with a huge bright smile says, "Hi Grandma! Our car smells like Poop!" Grandma at that point is completely caught off guard and just starts laughing- and I realize that I am the only other person in that car-(and certainly not the reason why it smells that way!) and immediately am stammering to explain... I tell ya.... I am too young for gray hairs- but if I break out in a few- I will have come by them fair and square!! Too Funny!

That had me laughing out loud. Totally something a toddler would do. Thanks for sharing.

Thats a great story Shannon but I'm sure we all know why the car really stinks! Kenna just cracks me up. When she was playing with Josh at moms the other day, she just acts like an adult. What a cutie!

That is AWESOME! That story totally made my whole day! Kennedy says the best things! I'm so glad that you're keeping track of these funny quotes -- I'm sure it helps during the inevitable moments of bratty two-year-oldness that come about. I should probably start keeping track of MY kids quotes...
