The other day, as we traveled our 20 minute commute home, Sugar Bear requested to have her window rolled down. I gladly obliged, and smiled at her eagerness to have the wind blow in her face. She giggles....she grins....she soaks up the sun and the wind. She takes after her father in the fact that she handles cool weather much better than her mommy. It isn't strange to see her running around in a short sleeved shirt, while I hunker down in my t-shirt, sweatshirt AND coat.
This particular day, I was driving with only a short sleeved shirt on (oh...and pants....I am totally NOT that kind of girl). I had taken my coat off before entering the truck. Sugar was more warmly dressed. After about 5 minutes, I started to feel rather chilled. I proceeded to roll up Sugar Bear's window. She let out a little cry, "Mama....why did you do that?" I quickly responded with, "Honey....Mama is getting cold!" as I tried to rub the goose bumps off my arms. "Well, I'm NOT!" huffed little Sugar quietly. "Well, that's because you have a turtle neck, honey." I replied warmly, trying to help her understand. There was a moment of silence, and what I assume deep thinking.......then a small indignant voice said, "I do NOT! I have a KID NECK!"
Mama spent the next few minutes trying to stay on the road as the tears, only hysterical laughter can bring, flooded her eyes. After a long day at work....I soooooooooooo needed that. Life is Good!

Hee hee, gotta love kids conversations!
Sugar Bear sure pays attention to what mom says! :)
That is hilarious and really cute.
I bet seeing Sugar's mind wheels* spin would be as much a sight as you in full laughter mode!
mind wheels... spin just before the lightbulb lights ;-)
That is hilarious. I love the way kids converse. Thanks for making my day!
LOL, kids say the cutest things!
Oh thank you little Sugar for that laugh! :) I needed that this morning. Soooooo cute!
what a great laugh that was this morning! The tears would have been rolling down my face for sure!
Ohmygosh, that is too funny!!!
She is so funny! Ok, but how cold is it there, it can't be that bad?
Hee hee. I love this age. I can just imagine her little voice. :D
Hehehe! Gotta love a kid's understanding of the world. The other day I said something to N about her BARE feet; she said "they're not BEAR feet, they're elephant feet." LOL!
Well, she has a point now doesn't she?!
Too funny! I love those little conversation gems.
Gosh, that's pretty funny... have you come up to the subject of "pony tails" or "pig tails" in the hair yet? =)
Sugar Bear logic is cute!
I wish I had a kid neck. :) I feel so much younger than my body shows. :) Such a sweetheart you have. :0) I thought she was going to advise you to put your jacket back on.
So literal! I love it.
Oh that is too funny! Sugar is such a little character - that's priceless! :)
LOL!!! Oh, that Sugar...she cracks me up!
Oh, too funny! We've never been quite able to get the concept of a turtle neck shirt around here either - LOL! (And I'm so glad you remembered your pants - had me worried there for a minute...) ;)
P.S. I promise I'll respond to your email soon - my inbox, outbox, lifebox -- you name it is a disaster at the moment. :P
very often *i* only drive with a short sleeved shirt on. oh, and a bra. sometimes, i don't even bother with the shirt.
then everyone can see my kid neck. and my kid...nevermind.
LOL. Too funny. I love it when Csilla cracks me up. Aren't our girls the BEST???!!!
Now THAT is worth treasuring...
Priceless. :0)
