Toohig Tidbits: Early April

HG was helping me make soup for dinner. I accidentally put one ingredient in the pot before HG was ready to help me. She said, “It’s ok if you do one thing without me, but if you do more, it’s gonna get UG-LY.”

“Every morning when I walk down the stairs and see daddy, I fall in love with him all over again.”

While taking Maren to school on April 9th, I heard HG say, “My mom’s funny!” I’m writing that down so that one day I can remind her she felt that way!

At soccer practice, HG put on a penny for a scrimmage and said, “I’m number 6, and it’s upside down!” Ummmm, that’s a 9, child.

I offered HG some of my applesauce and she declined. I asked her, “Why won’t you eat after me?” She said, “Because you have germs.” I asked, “Are you too good for my germs.” She said, “Everybody has germs, Mama; keep up.”

HG and John were wrestling. John said, “I’m stronger than you!” And HG replied, “But I’m smarter!”

HG asked me if she would have a boyfriend when she was 16. I joked that she might want one but her daddy would run off all the boys. She nodded and said, “Because that’s how life is.” Within this same conversation, she also told me that Schuler liked her and she knew that because Aubrey told her that boys are attracted to blonde hair, and she caught him staring at her hair all the time. ‘Attracted’ means you can’t stop looking at something. OMG.
