Smartie Pants

The other day and I was preparing lunch for Kate and Rachel Lee (Hannah eats lunch at school) I began quizzing Kate on her sight words. She was spelling everything correctly, so I called her a smarty pants. She giggled and I said, "No really, are those your smarty pants your wore to school today because you are a smar-ty pants!" She thought I was hilarious and giggled a ton. It was fun. Well, next thing I know, I turn around and it's completely quiet...I call her name and Rachel Lee's name...nothing...then Kate rounds the corner without her pants on and says, "Mom, now ask me how to spell 'do' and you will see that it's not my pants that make me smart. I am smart without them!" I cracked up. It was sooo funny! My literal little girl proving that she was a smarty and that she doesn't have smarty pants. Well, next thing I know, Rachel Lee was not wearing pants and things got sillier and sillier.  I really love being home with my girls and I love how we laugh and enjoy one another. My girls are truly the best!

What a funny story. I then started thinking about all the references that are made to pants...who wears the pants in the family ...ants in your pants ....everyone puts their pants on the same way ...and one I wouldn't tell the literally kid like Kate without an explanation ...liar, liar, pants on fire--which of course would make you take your pants off in a hurry! I guess there are more than just smarty pants, but none quite as funny as this story. I'm pretty sure you should wait until she's older before you share the phrase-- "there's more than one way to skin a cat."
