Herre dat?: Scary Stuff

Scary Stuff

Kyla has been experiencing some obsessive spider fear recently. A couple nights in a row she woke up in the middle of the night due to bad dreams and was sure there was a spider in her room.

Recently in the car, she confided to me:

Kyla: Mommy, I believe in Jesus that I will not get pinched by a black weirdo...

Me: (thinking, what in the world?!?!)

Kyla: but that is the spider that I am worried about the most.

Oh...

Turns out that when the kids found a garden snake in the driveway, the neighbor mom told them about Black Widow spiders, too. Kyla does NOT like spiders, so that really got her worried!

Origins

When Kyla first started really talking, when there was an unexpected noise, she would say, in a grunting low voice, "Herre dat?" It became our own little family saying. As she got more sophisticated (at 2 1/2) she would often follow it with, "I herre son-sing!"

And since then she has just gotten more and more funny. She keeps us on our toes and rolling on the floor!

Our little guy, Maxx, is now starting to talk. Although at this point he mostly conveys his mischievous nature through his sideways glances and impish smiles, soon enough he will be chiming in with his own words of wit-dom. I'm excited (and a little scared) to see how he surprises us!
