Getting Dressed

Hayden was sitting in her closet, trying to pick out an outfit to wear. This is a process that can stretch on for 20 minutes or more.

Marley, prankster that she is, went to close Hayden's closet door while Hayden was still sitting in it. Hayden yelled in protest and pushed it back open, but Marley kept trying to close it on her.

Sandra came over and asked "Marley, why do you keep closing the door on Hayden in the closet?"

No response from Marley other than looking down at her shoes.

"Marley, answer me. Why do you keep closing the door on Hayden?"

Still no response from Marley.

"Marley, tell me why you keep closing the door on her."

Finally, Marley looks up and says "To keep her safe."

Nice but, of course, dubious.


Beth asked Hayden if she remembered that Dylan's birthday was this weekend.
Hayden said she had forgot and she explained: "I forgot to turn my brain on."


Marley was sitting naked watching tv in our living room one morning when all of a sudden our little 2 and a half year old blurted out, "Jesus Christ, I need to get dressed!"

I'll be expecting a call from the pre-school any day now . . .

The "Jesus Christ, I have to get dressed" quote made me laugh out loud. For what it's worth, last night Jane (3) could not get her pajama top on, and I heard her mutter, "Oh, Lord. I'll never get this shirt on."
