Great News!

“Great news! ” I hear the kids say and already I’m internally bracing myself to hear the rest of it- their definition of “Great news!” very, rarely aligns with mine.

Today I’m showering at a fast and frantic pace so that I can get out of the house in time to make yet another, spur of the moment, doctors appointment for my ear when Clara bursts into the bathroom and I hear it:

“Great News!” Clara says, “the door was locked but I knifed it.”

Me: “You what-ed it?”
Clara: “You know, where you can put your finger nail in the doorknob I put a knife in there and now the door is unlocked! Isn’t that great!!!”

Like I said, our versions “Great news!” rarely align!

The pants-less, princess proclaims, "Great news!"

The pants-less, princess proclaims, “Great news!”

    🙂 Great news indeed! But her cuteness more than makes up for all the great news she announces. 🙂

    Hahahaha….I’m sure there will be many more ‘great news’ in the future! And I can’t wait to hear about them!
