I couldn't wait to tell this one. We have a pile of words that Maci has said in our home that have been deemed naughty words. So one of those words is "stupid". Problem is that Jared and I keep slipping up. I can tell she's getting sick and tired of reminding us to watch our words. The other day Jared, Maci and I were driving home and Jared was briefly venting for some reason or another. He said, "that is so stupid". I said, "uh oh, here it comes". In the back of the car you could hear Maci take the deepest breath she could muster and yelled so loud it came out hoarse, "we don't... say...STUPID!" (the dots are spaces between her words that she added for emphasis.) So then Jared goes, "Man, she catches everything." Then in the funniest, trying to be the angry adult in charge voice with spaces between and emphasis on her words Maci says, "I...CATCH...THINGS!". Maybe you had to be there, but if you know how little Jared laughs at kids, it will tell you something to know that he was laughing pretty hard.

Man...I can't wait for this stage. Luckily, "stupid" isn't a bad word at our house yet...but it will be SOON!
How funny! Maci is getting so big and was always clever. I will never forget what she said to Aaron in the car, "Are you gonna cry like a little baby...He he he." It was hilarious.
Oh Maci... She is still possibly the funniest child I will ever know. She has always been so aware of everything around her. Miss you guys!
That is hilarious! Maggie is the same way! I can't get away with anything anymore. Sigh.... :-)
That is so funny. I can just remember when Maci was only a few weeks old and we were all back in Rexburg.... and now she's all grown up and being spunky! :)
I'm glad you are doing well. I really love looking at your fun blog! Oh- by the way, I've tagged you -- the book tag. Just if you want to!
