July Kid Quotes

I had this large glass canister with a lid--very large--that I bought for sprouting my own bread dough. I didn't get to that bread making quite yet. At least a year had passed since I bought the canister and it just collected dust on top of the refrigerator. And then in the cabinet. (Yes, Justin, I shuffled it). And then we started some "remodeling" on the kitchen and I lost cabinet space so the canister sat on the bottom shelf of my antique green metal cart. And then Juliette started to crawl and explore and she nearly pulled it on to the floor, so I moved it to the counter, contemplating it's next home. 

One day, Addie went to get a drink. She moved the canister from one counter to the other, crossing the tiled floor to the other side of the kitchen, only she didn't quite make it the counter. The lid fell off the top while she tried setting it down, and bounced and crashed and shattered all over the kitchen floor. Thankfully she did not get even the slightest scratch, but the lid suffered a great deal. 

I was bummed because I really was going to sprout my own bread dough, and I bought this huge glass canister specifically for that purpose... At dinner that night, I told Justin, "Now what am I going to do with that thing? With no lid, it's kind of useless." His response: "Here's what you do. Save it. For about 20 years. And then one day, when the kids are all grown and moved out, go over to Addie's house with that canister. Drop it on the floor and just walk away."

Addie: Danny should clean our house. He likes to clean.

Me: Who is Danny?

Addie: Bob plays him. (Danny Tanner)😂

Pennie: Hola, 'sanoritos'. 

Addie: Just dip the chicken in the hubby. (I make a "fried" chicken named Hubby Lovin Chicken, and I just shortened it to Hubby Chicken when asked "what's for dinner" 7 times a day. Addie calls the seasoning and "breading" mixture hubby and loves to help me make it.)

Gabrie and Pennie were discussing their love for ham one day at lunch.

Addie: Oh! It's a pig's buns!

Gabrie: Best buns I've ever tasted.
