Crushes

Yesterday I was sitting at the table eating lunch with the kids (Chant was at the office) and the conversation around the table was cracking me up.

Ainsley:  Remember how I had that crush on Justin Bieber?  But not anymore, that was a long time ago when I was younger.

Brinnley:  Yeah, I told Kelsey all about it.  (Kelsey is Brinn's really good friend this year at school.)

Ainsley:  Brinn!  Why did you do that?  Promise me you won't remind her.

Brinnley:  I think she remembers.

Ainsley:  Promise you won't remind her at the end of the school year.

Brinnley:  Okay.  Remember when I had that secret crush on Ethan Williams that I didn't tell you about?  (That last bit was directed at me.)

Ainsley:  Yeah, I remember.

Brinnley:  But that was last year and I don't have a crush anymore.

Me:  Just smiling and listening as the conversation quickly moves on to something else.

Miss Sassifras

I was asking the girls the other day how school was and who they played with today.  Ainsley played with a girl in our ward named Amber and Brinnley played with a girl in her class named Kelsey.  I asked Brinnley if she still plays with Ellie, her best friend from last year.  She said yes, but she plays with Kelsey too.  Ainsley said with a flip of her wrist and a tilt of her head, "I assume Ellie was her best friend last year and this year Kelsey is her best friend."  Love that girl.  So sassy.
