The girls are upstairs right now playing sargents. I am hearing a series of "sir, yes sir" bellowing down the stairs. I run up to get a closer look to see what is happening and Morgan is instructing Madison how to march. This is what I hear...
Morgan: I am the commander so I am the boss and so you have to do all I say right away or you will be beheaded!!!
(obviously they have heard their daddy at work)
Madison: I think you need a mustache like poppop.
Morgan: But I am a girl! there can be girl commanders you know, you don't have to be a boy.
(that a girl! Break through the barriers! Be all you can be!)
Madison: Yeah I guess that's right, but who would do the laundry and clean the house?
Morgan: My workers! I am the boss! The bad worker boys would have to clean my underwear! Madison: well, I think I don't want to be a commander. Daddy is a commander and he has a lot of work to do and it makes him tired.
Morgan: Well I am a girl commander! I don't want a mustache! And my bad worker boy will clean my panties! March!
Madison: I think I will be the commanders wife.
Morgan: What will you do? You won't have any worker boys.
Madison: I will be busy. I have to sweep the house every day and pick up after my messy kids and then when I go to the base I have to put on lipgloss and smile at people I don't even know. AND I have to help daddy so that his boss will think he is a good worker and will give him a thing for his costume.
(ah military politics, and I think she means a ribbon for his uniform)
Morgan: Don't forget you have to call all the boys SIR!!! Now I am the commander and I say lets march!! (marching) Left, right, left, bow, and clap! Left, right, left.....
I was laughing at this window of wisdom from our military babies. And trying to remember seeing our airmen march, bow and clap!!! Where do they get this stuff? Worker boy?!?! Oh my heavens!
That was great! It is amazing what our little ones pick up on. Just remember there are ears in the corn field, so make sure the harvest is picked before u talk.
ReplyDeleteYou have got the funniest and brightest two kids I know (besides my own, of course!!). Such vivid imaginations they have ~ I love the part about the boy worker cleaning Morgan's underwear! That was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! They seem to know what there talking about!! I miss you so much!
ReplyDeleteIt cracks me up that a penalty to the worker boys is to clean the panties! Where did they get that from?
ReplyDeleteLOL.
Well - you know - I must be a bad worker boy cause I have to clean everyone's underwear in this house! Seriously - don't know where that came from!!!!
ReplyDeleteYep...I am guessing you are designated "low man on totem pole worker boy". Should we send the heavy duty detergent?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing their conversations. I always love to just sit and listen to Emma and sarah talk when they think no one is listening. Its amazing what these kids come up with.
This is one of those priceless moments. I can remember the stuff that Morgan would come up with in Awana and it was too funny. The "worker boy" is just too much. I had a fit of the giggles while reading this just imaging their faces and how series Madison had to be.
ReplyDeleteWhat good imaginations! Funny, funny girls!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to hear Madison's account on what a commanders wife does! Your daughters have a great imagination.
ReplyDeleteI miss these girls so much! "and he will clean my panties" -- LOVED THAT PART! I was laughing out loud -- literally!
