Wise Words

Update on the video situation: It's disappeared into nowhere...and we've tried everything. :(

But here's something that never fails to cheer me up.

Background: Inspired by a library book we got from the library "Guess who?", I started playing a silly little game with Kayla where I ask her if she's a "make-up-any-occupation-that-ends-with-maker."

Here's what she spouted:
Me: Are you a shoemaker?
Kayla: No...
Me: Are you a dressmaker?
Kayla: No...
Me: Are you a poopie-maker?
Kayla: No..
Me: Then what are you?
Kayla: I'm a troublemaker!
Me: Collapse into laughter.

Background: We picked up this "cleanup" song from her classes in Gymboree from way back. It goes something like "Clean up, clean up, everybody do your part/clean up clean up everybody do your part."

Here's what happened this morning:
Me: Kayla, let's clean up.
Kayla: (Breaks into song) Clean up, clean up, everybody do your part...
Then she pauses and looks at me and says: "It's not my part yet."

Tell me if I should laugh or cry.
