You just never know what's going to come out of the mouth of a four-year-old -- which means I am always on the ready to clap my hand over my daughter's mouth. They say what they mean, mean what they say and they aren't afraid to ask questions.

My little one has been on a roll lately...Here are a few of the funnier things she's said/done recently:

* My husband has a moustache (yeah, I know..how 70s-porn-star, but...really he just doesn't look right without it) and he was giving Lauren a bath the other day & she said "Can I touch your Moose-statch?" He said "If you want to" and she reaches up and touches it and says "Your porky" (which we took to mean that his moustache is like a porcupine..or that it's pokey).

* I don't cook often and when I do I'm a toaster oven gourmet. The other day Lauren pointed to the big stove/oven in the corner and said "What that big one for?" I said "Christmas cookies."

* Last night at the baseball game, she was making eyes at the Grandma sitting behind us and talking to her (Lauren talks to everyone and really never shuts up...hmmmm...like mother, like daughter?) and she says "I like peanuts" because, of course, the woman is holding a bag of peanuts and then she reached in a took one. I was mortified that she would be so bold and thought...dear God, have I taught this child NO manners?" But...of course, Grandma-behind-us thought it was hysterical and gave her the rest of the bag. (thereby creating a monster, I'm sure).

* Some Amish women (or Mennonite?) and children were at our garage sale on Saturday. Lauren followed them all around the garage saying "Who are you? Where are you going? Why you dressed like that?" Again...mortified.
