Giggles Galore

So, the best thing about our visit down to Utah was our little girl. She was a hoot! I mean seriously, that girl was full of one-liners. Like when she unbuckled her seatbelt in the middle of Utah freeway traffic and I freaked out, telling her not to ever do that again or the police man would come and get her and put her in jail. I corrected myself and told it would probably be me that got taken away and she said to me "I want the mean man to take you away so he can take care of me." She didn't say it because she was mad at me, it was more of a "hmm, I wonder what that would be like" kind of statement. That was actually how the majority of her one-liners were. She wasn't trying to be funny, it was just her childlike curiosity and perception of things that had us all rolling on the ground.
I believe it was Nicole that mentioned Kameryn probably sat around coming up with these funny things so that I could put them on the blog. She's right, Kameryn and I are a tag team, working together to bring you daily doses of Bowen Blog bliss. So here you go, our favorite "one-liners"

Kami and I where sitting outside on the lawn, catching up after a long day of playing when Kameryn glanced up at the sky and said "Hey look mom, that cloud is melted!" Now I am no cloud expert and so I cannot tell you what kind of cloud it was, but, in reality, it looked like a big cloud had melted in the sky. Ironically, it was right next to the sun. Cute!

The next one I wasn't there for but my dad retold the story of how he had told Kameryn he would come back outside and push her on the swing after he had gone to the bathroom. Kameryn called after him "Okay Grandpa. Be careful you don't fall in!" Apparently, my dad concluded, falling in the toilet must be a serious concern for little girls.

The next and final two "one-liners" came at dinner time on Sunday. The first, and my personal favorite, was when Kami looked at me and pointed to her mashed potatoes "I need some more of this potato drink." It took a couple repeats for me to make sure that I had really heard what I thought I had, and I had Kameryn needed "potato drink" for her potatoes. After that one, she went down and hopped up next to my mom, "what's that?" she asked. When my mom responded that it was salt Kami said. "White salt! My mommy has black salt."

I just thought of one more funny Kami moment, and while this one didn't happen down in Utah, it still had me saying "what did you say?" We had just gotten back from our family reunion and Brandon and I had forgotten there was ice in our cooler until I went to give it to Gwen to borrow. I opened up the lid and made some remark about forgetting about the ice. Kameryn then bent over and looked inside the cooler "Holy crap! Look at all that water!" "What did you just say?" I said as I shook my head in disbelieve. "I said, holy crap, look at all that water!" The funny thing about this story both Brandon, I, and Gwen all thought we were responsible for teaching her that saying. It's a good thing that that is about as vulgar as our language get or we would be in trouble.

Silly Kami, you are definitely a wonder to behold. You always keep me on my toes. By the by, the pic of Kami is one of her hilarious outfits. She won't let me dress her anymore and she has to get dressed in a new outfit every hour. This one was too cute not to photograph. (Oh, and she always likes to go for the monochromatic look. "Look, my matches!")
