A drive through the country

The kids and I were out driving through the country headed to a a friend's house to take some photos. As we were driving along a car came up behind us and decided he needed to speed around me. Eventually karma snuck in and that car got stuck behind slower cars and could not get around them and we caught up to him. At that point alls you can think is "ha ha it did not pay to go zooming past me did it?" Anyway back to the story...

G.G.- "I think that there is either a lady or a guy driving the car."
So, I sit there for a second and think well I could state the obvious or I could have some fun with this.
Mommy- "Well, it could be a bear or a dog."
G.G.- "Mommy, animals don't drive car."
Mommy- "I know that, that would be pretty silly."
G.G.- then says "If you left your car in the woods a bear could get in and drive it. So you shouldn't leave your car in the woods. I am so smart!"

Wanting to make sure that I heard her right with the I am so smart line. I asked her what she just said.

G.G.- "Mommy, I am singing."
Mommy- "No, what did you say before that?"
G.G.- "I SAID (all drawn out) if you leave your car in the woods the bear will get in it so you shouldn't leave your car in the woods. Then I said I AM VERY SMART. Then I started singing."
Mommy- "Oh, OK. You're right you are very smart."

When we got home I started to tell my husband the story when G.G. says "That is not what I said." Then proceeds to tell him the story just as she originally said it. I purposefully told him wrong so that she would tell the story.

That's not a nice thing to say

G.G. and I were watching Jeff Dunham and Achmed one weekend. Jeff was doing his routine with Achmed, asking him what he was and Achmed answered and of course Jeff replied with something that Achmed did not like and Achmed's response was "Silence, I Keel You!"
G.G. thought that this was so funny she could not stop laughing. She then started to repeat the famous line 'Silence, I Keel You." So you know how funny it is coming from a puppet? Well imagine how funny it is from the mouth of a 5 year old.

G.G.- "Mommy."
Mommy- "What?"
G.G.- 'Silence, I Keel You! (laughter follows)
repeat a few more times.

My Husband walked through the door during all of this,

G.G.- "Daddy"
Daddy- "G.G."
G.G.- "Silence, I Keel You!"
Daddy's response, was just a look, he really does not care for Jeff Dunham (I know, I know)

Mommy- "G.G. I think that is enough."
G.G.- "I know, it really is not a nice thing to say, right?"
Mommy- "Right."
G.G.- "OK. I say Silence and you say I Keel You!"

She has thankfully not said it outside of the house. I was a little nervous that she would go to school saying it.
Just a little side note- Jeff Dunham and his puppets amuse 5 year olds.
