"Actually..."

One of Adilyn's most favorite words lately is "actually". Because Adilyn says it, of course, Kacy says it all the time, too. It's hilarious because they usually use it in the right way, but the tone they use it makes them sound so "know-it-all" or something.

Examples: We were at Mimi and Pops's house the other day and Taylor asked if a baby was ours, and I told him that it was. Adilyn said, "Um, actually, that baby is Kacy's."

I said that we were supposed to bring a show and tell with the letter "R", and she said, "Actually, Mama, the letter is not R."

Kacy's are a little more abstract, but it's just funny that she even tries to say it! My favorite one was this conversation. Kacy: "Mama, I have to go poopoo." Me: "I don't think you do, you just went a few minutes ago." Kacy: "Yes, I do have to go, and Mama, actually, I went at school."

More talking stories...

*Adilyn was in the car coming home from soccer practice and she said, "Why do I have to wear these sling shots?" It took me a couple minutes to realize that she meant shin guards!

*Kacy was crying about something the other night, and I couldn't figure out what. She gets so annoyed when you can't understand what she is saying, so she was really getting frustrated. She kept saying something about "high tops", and I had no idea what she was talking about! Finally, she pointed at Adilyn's shirt - she was wearing a tank top!

*The way that Kacy says "flower" sounds more like "fire" than flower, so there have been many confusing conversations over her wanting to go find flowers, not fires! :)

*Adilyn still calls Gatorade, "generator", but she now believes me that pig tails are pig tails, not pink tails!
