Conversations with Madalyn

So this morning, I am standing in my bathroom. Putting my hair up in a pony tail as I get ready for water aerobics. Putting in my contacts. When Madalyn comes in and has me help her fix her hair. I am wetting it down when she notices a q-tip laying on my counter. It is black on both ends. So she asks me "what is that?!"And I tell her that I didn't take off my make-up last night. So, it's from my mascara under my eyes.

And she says "So you tie-dyed your hair?!"And I tell her no. I did not tie-dye my hair. Or dye it. I used the q-tip to get the smeared mascara off my face.

And she says "so that black stuff was in your ears?!"

I think she likes to hear the sound of her own voice...

Theme song: U2 - Vertigo. Because I get verbal vertigo with Madalyn.

Oh, I like this kid. She has style. Those photos are precious.

It's like you're not really talking at all, isn't it?! hehe

Unknown said...

It's like whole different rules for for conversations isn't it??

LMAO at the song!!!!!

Insane Mama said...

She is funny, I love hearing myself talk also....so much so that I talk out loud!

Sorry I lost my swap person, figures it would be me

Unknown said...

I like that belly dancing thing that she's got going there...

She's practicing her selective hearing ... :-)

Shannon said...

See, just reading this I was all, WHA...??!?!?

What is it with the youngest daughters? Such corkers they are!

Tiffany said...

Too funny. Love the photos!

Elena said...

She is SOOOO much like my soon to be 8 year old. Boy wouldn't that have been something if the black had come from your ears? Ewwwww...

Jenny said...

I have two daughters that like the sound of their own voices. They never listen to the answer!

Love Vertigo.

Twisted Fencepost said...

She thinks too much. It would make my head hurt!

Lisa said...

She just knows how to make you talk!! My old constantly says "What do you mean?" even if it to the simplest thing like "you need to go take a shower now." She likes to hear MY voice. MY youngest is like Madelyn. Totally.

KimmyJ said...

She is too funny - great song choice. You never visit me anymore, what's up with that?

Jen said...

Oh you just gotta love that one. She is awesome!

Brandy said...

How exactly do you tie-dye your hair? I might be interested in doing that one day.

And a little piece of advice...it's never good to put mascara in your ears. Errr, wait you said eyes...oh hell maybe I like to watch myself type. I can relate to lil miss belly dancer.

Sugar said...

I think she gets it from you mom. blah blah blah last night blah blah blah face blah blah blah

Rhea said...

OMG, you just got blog-sassed by your own daughter!!!


hehehehe I can't stop laughing over here. Way to go, Sugar!!

Rhea said...

Wait, am I a bad influence? I should encourage your children to sass back, should I? I'll go hang my head in time out.

THE Stephanie said...

Sounds like my daughter. It doesn't matter how you say it, they never seem to understand... lol

Unknown said...

I love that Madalyn always has her "Jazz Hands" ready for the camera... she's a cutie!

Thanks for stopping by & showing some bloggy love on my big SITS day! (You were one of my first sits buddies!)

Lula! said...

She rocks. I need to be her friend. I'm already Katie's friend, you know.

Verbal vertigo...you are a genius!

I Love Purple More Than You said...

Hilarious. I think I lived in that same little world when I was her age.

Rhea said...

The Internets seems slow today...or is it just me?

The Joye of Teaching said...

I love her outfit. what is the side belt thing? new trend that I missed probably. She is a mess giving you probs about morning makeup adjustments. :)
My lashes and brows are so thick no way I'm wearing mascara. Have you seen that Ellen raccoon commercial? That would be me. hehehe

jennifersusan said...

Cute hip scarf! I bet she loves the way it sounds when she shimmies!

Susie said...

You didn't really even need to be there for that conversation, did you? Hee, hee, hee.

Nissa said...

I love her little belly dancing outfit! Madalyn has such style.

I don't usually take my makeup off before bed, either, so my kids are used to raccoon eyes.

Rhea said...

She's just so cute. I love looking at her smiling face.

Rhea said...

the little pen-stealer.

Rhea said...

And cute Katie is a notebook/tissue-stealer.

I SOooooo see this conversation happening with my oldest in a few years. It amazes me to hear the stuff that she "hears" me say.
