I've mentioned that Audrey is really funny and very cute. But I've realized that she is this way without trying one bit. She is completely honest and sincere in everything she says and does, it just happens to be coupled with her signature ditziness (I say that out of complete love and and endearment by the way).
Case in Point-the following.....
Scene: The girls and I sitting on my bed while I do their hair for church yesterday. Siobhan is coloring a picture and figured out that her 'magic reveal' marker will show hidden pictures on the paper. Audrey is getting her hair done.
Siobhan: Mom! There's a waterfall on this picture!
Audrey: Mom! There's a freakin' waterfall on this picture!!! A freakin' waterfall!!!
Scene: Audrey is saying prayers before bed.
Audrey*: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day, thank you for our many blessings, thank you for the food, thank you for family and friends, please bless the food (This is where she would normally stop, but she kept going) thank you I can sleep better, thank you I can be Belle for Halloween (next year she means, apparently she feels the need to appeal to the man upstairs for Halloween preparation a year in advance) thank you for money, Jesus Christ, Amen.
3 seconds later...
Mom, I said thank you for money. (uncontrollable snickers)
Me: That's a very good thing to be thankful for!
About a minute later, Daddy walks in....
Audrey: Dad! I told Jesus thank you for money! (more snickers)
Carson: Why did you tell Jesus thank you money?
Audrey: No, I asked Jesus to give us money.
Carson: Why did you ask Jesus to give us money?
Audrey: So that I can have some money and I'm going to call the money nickels so that I can put it in my piggy bank.
Carson: Well, why do want to put it in your piggy bank?
Audrey: So they'll be safe!
Carson: What are you going to do with your nickels?
Audrey: I want to buy more money!
Scene: We had cheese fondu last night for dinner and we were picking fondu forks. They all have different colors on the end so the highlight of any fondu event at our house (aside from the food) is found in picking just the right color. While we were doing this, Audrey was playing the leapster.
Me: Audrey, what color do you want?
no response....
Me: Audrey, what color do you want?
no response
Me and Siobhan: Audrey what color do you want?
Audrey: Apple juice!
Me: No what color of fondu fork do you want?
Audrey: Apple Juice.
Scene: Carson is at the grocery store with the girls and they run into Audrey's nursery teacher from church. Audrey find a piece of candy on the floor, and runs up to her teacher to show her. Her teacher takes it from her and hands it back.
Audrey: Dad, look what my teacher gave me.
Carson: Well, she didn't actually give it to you to have. She gave it to you to put away.
Audrey: No she gave it to me!
Carson: But it's not her's to give to you, we haven't paid for it.
Audrey: Yeah dad, she gave it to me!
Carson: Audrey, you're not listening to me.
Audrey: No dad, you're not listening to me!
Carson: No, you're not listening to me.
Audrey (now thoroughly exasperated and getting angry): No DAD! You're not listening to me!
Carson: Audrey, you're not listening to me.
Audrey (hands on hips looking away in anger): NO DAD, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME!
She's a funny girl and last night when Carson and I were talking about all these conversations, I almost peed my pants!
Audrey, apparently in deep thought while watching Tinkerbell and The Great Fairy Rescue at Siobhan's birthday party.

word for word, but I couldn't help myself, it was just too darn hilarious!
