we haven't used a stroller very much in the last several months, giving evie plenty of time to build up those leg muscles. while we were at the store the other night, she was having one of her many moments. between sobs, she said she couldn't walk anymore, and so i asked her why not. she told me her legs didn't work and that i needed to carry her. (for those of you who haven't seen evie lately, it looks like you are carrying a 5 year old around.) after she said her legs didn't work, i did one of those parent things that i never thought i would do. i told her that there are some kids whose legs really don't work and she needed to stand up and walk. she stopped sobbing for a moment, and then crying harder yelled, "why don't their legs work?" can't win. at least she was attempting to be sensitive.

I haven't stopped laughing since I read that. Seriously, way to pull that out. I can't believe you thought it would work :)
oh greg! that is so funny. I have pulled a lot of the things that I thought i would never do - however, Tyson's mind isn't as advanced as evie's yet so I don't get the cute comments back!
megan, i couldn't believe it either. as i was saying it, i was thinking, "is this really coming out of my mouth?"
