Susannah is Funny

I'm going to try to keep better track of the funny things the girls say. Susannah had me laughing so hard I was crying on Saturday. Here is the story, although it might not be quite as funny to anyone else, at least I will be able to remember and laugh later.

We have been taking care of my mom and dad's cat, Annie, while they are in Alpine. I let Annie out of their house Saturday morning and came back to our place. I was on the couch reading a book and I heard the neighbors dog outside barking really loud and angry. Remember that Annie was out of the house, I worried that something was wrong with her so I jumped up and ran to the door.

Sure enough, that mean dog was chasing Annie. She knows where we are so when she wants to go back into her house, she meows at our door. She must have been on her way over here when the dog started to chase her, because they were right outside our door. I grabbed the key and walked Annie back over to Mom and Dad's house after yelling at the dog.

A little later, after the rescue of Annie, I was sitting on the couch again reading my book. Susannah asked me if Annie was okay or if the dog had hurt her. I let her know that Annie was alright and then added that if I had a gun, I would shot the dog. Susannah thought for a minute and then very seriously said...

"Mom, that is how some people end up on TV. . . . . . . They shoot their neighbor's dog."

By this time I'm already laughing, but there was more to come.

"Those people go on a show called Judge Judy . . . . . . . . Mom, do you want to go on that show?"

It was almost like a little lecture coming from my eight year old. Very funny.

I love my kids.

I did try to get Susannah to let me take a picture of her shaking her finger at me, for this post. She refused. Sydney volunteered to let me take a picture of her shaking her finger, but it just wouldn't be the same. :)
