four going on fourteen
A conversation in our home this evening went a little something like this:
me(gushing with pride): Nezzie, tell Grandma why your drawing is cut in half.
inez: Zack couldn't find his drawing at the end of class the other day, so I cut mine in half and shared with him.
grandma k: That was so nice of you Inez!
me: Zach is on of her good friends in preschool, right Nez?
inez: Um, excuse me? He is my BOYFRIEND!
me: Um, excuse me? You cannot have a boyfriend until you are 16 and you can't get married until you are 25, remember?
inez: Uh, I do have a boyfriend and you can't stop me.
me: ...
I was left with my mouth agape, my Mother laughing, and a flash forward of me in ten years with a head full of gray hair.

It was the hand on the hip and the flip of her head and hair that accented the attitude so aptly portrayed in the picture you posted!
I loved it...however, if I were her mother with visions of her in 10 or 12 years, I might not have thought it was quite so funny. :)
She's a hoot!
she's a feisty one!
The things these kids say, that's so funny.
I love it! Inez is great. If Zach is going to have a girlfriend, I'm glad it's her! Let's just hope they don't start kissing anytime soon...:)
I friend of mine caught her 5 year old kissing a boy in the hall at church. When she got after her for it the daughter said, "It's fine Mom! I've kissed him before!" Yikes! Good luck -I'm not looking forward to this with Gigi.
She cut her drawing in half? She cut her drawing in half??? I am almost in tears over that!!
oh my gosh! i can totally see her saying that! we have a blog now so im searching everyone out!
Oh my Holly - my oldest is 13 and we still haven't heard anything like that come out of their mouths - I'd say you're in for it!!
I love it. She cracks me up. Sammie made a few similar comments a few months ago but hasn't since. I hope we're in the clear... for now.
