Yesterday Arle and I were driving somewhere when she suddenly said, “Mommy, remember that time you smoked a cigarette in the kitchen?”
It’s a miracle I didn’t get into a wreck as the words rolled off her tongue.
Me: What????? No, honey. Mommy has never smoked a cigarette.
Arle: Yes you have. That one time. In the kitchen.
Me: No, sweetie! That didn’t happen! Why are you saying that????!!!
Arle: Yes it DID happen! I promise!!!
Me: No it didn’t! I promise!!!
Arle (getting super annoyed that I’m basically calling her a liar): Mommy, I’m SEEEEEERIOUS! It did to happen! That time in the kitchen! You did smoke a cigarette!
Me (getting super annoyed that she really does seem to believe this hogwash): Arle, I’m SEEEERIOUS that I have never ever never smoked a cigarette in my whole entire life!
Arle: Look at the sky, Mommy. The clouds are gray. I think it’s gonna rain.

I can’t believe how many times the words “That never happened” have come out of my own mouth!! Kids say AND BELIEVE the darnedest things…at least she knew to change the subject and not say “Whatever!”. Such a cutey! :D
