Conversation of the day

As heard at the dinner table, between Mommy and Aili:

{Scene opens with a very LOUD rumbling coming from the nether regions of the young leading lady}

Mommy: [gasp] "What was that?!?"

Aili: [quite proudly, with a big grin] "TOOT!"

Mommy: [nearly passing out from the fumes] "Yes, toot is right! What do you say?"

Aili: [holding her nose] "Stinky!"

Mommy: "No, what do you say?"

Aili: [still holding her nose, while scrunching up her face] "Stinky. Yuck."

Mommy: [light-headed from the lack of oxygen] "Aili Grace! Where are your manners?!?"

Aili: "'Scuse me!"

Mommy: "Thank you!"

Well, if she's not picking her nose (See July 9th blog entry!) ... boy, I really feel as if I'm succeeding in raising a lady... [insert rolling eyes here]...
