Apparently we've lived in Pierce County for TOO long...even though it's only been since the end of July. To give you background to the story - kids here go hunting starting at age five...and I'm NOT talking about just going along for the father/son time, they're really learning to hunt. They think they happen to have a 3 1/2 day weekend (Veteran's Day weekend) from school because it's the beginning of hunting season and it's not uncommon for a kid to have a 5 x 7 picture on the front of their 3-ring binder of themselves decked out in camo, gun in hand, sitting next to a dead deer...that they killed themselves! (In their defense, 2nd grade was the youngest aged student I've seen with such a picture, but still.)
Now to the story...I was getting Ashlyn's things rounded up to throw her in the shower after dinner tonight and this is the conversation I had with my "as prissy as they come" daughter on our way to the bathroom -
Ashlyn - (out of the blue) "Mom, I need to kill me a deer."
Me - "What!!?"
Ashlyn - "Yep, ya need to get me a really big gun...like this." (She stretched her arms out as far as she could to show me how big it needed to be.) "Then I'll take that really big gun and go like this - bamm, bamm bamm."
Me - (lauging)"What?"
Ashlyn - "Ya Mom, I really need to go hunting, please."
Me - "Umm, you're talking to the wrong person, maybe you should call Grandpa."
Again she is the prissiest, girliest girl I know...why the heck does she want to go hunting? Not to mention...she's FOUR YEARS OLD for cryin' out loud!

That is hilarious! I can't even picture her saying that stuff. You really have been there too long. What are you going to do?!? :-)
Oh, Dad would eat that up!
I can sooo visualize this conversation and am laughing my head off!
