Me: Ruby, did you play freeze dance?
Ruby: Yes!
Me: Did you have fun?
Ruby: Yeah...once I got buzzed!
Oh my goodness! Upon further questioning I gather that they go around and "buzz" each other to unfreeze each other. But, I thought to myself, if this is what I'm hearing in kindergarten I can not imagine what high school and college will be like with this child.
*****************************
Ruby was playing a pretend game with Charlotte the other day. Their new favorite game is to pretend they are in high school or college and they have boyfriends. I don't know why this is their current thing but I try very, very hard to ignore it. Ruby comes downstairs and says, "I'm 18. I have a boyfriend. Charlotte and her boyfriend needed alone time (!!!!!) and my boyfriend and I are going to see a rock band. We like to rock out!"
Again, where do they get this stuff? I'm assuming the "alone time" is actually a reference to how play dates work at our house. Everyone likes to have some of their play time alone with their friend as whichever girls are not having a play date always want to play with the person who does have a friend over. But still! Not what I wanted to hear. I chose to ignore the comment instead of getting into the fact that Charlotte and her boyfriend would not be allowed to have alone time in my house! I decided we could have that conversation several years from now when it is an issue.
*******************************
Ruby and Charlotte were setting up the Playmobil house to be an apartment building. In Charlotte's apartment she had a family with a baby. She told Ruby, "Here is my family. They have a baby. I just love babies." Ruby responded, "I just looovveee Rock Bands!"
I really think I may have a nervous break down before I get this child grown. But she is the cutest, sweetest, most amazing girl. I just hope she and I survive her teenage years and that she eventually has a daughter with her zest.
