Walked into the kitchen to see Audrey wrist deep in a huge tub of vaseline, an open eyeshadow palette (with 30 shades in it), 2 bowls and chopsticks being used for stirring. 

Me: Audrey what are you doing? 
Audrey: Let me start with this, you need to remind me to think things all the way through. I was trying to make lip gloss! Huge mistake huge. 
Me: okay, well...
Audrey: (interrupts me) I know, I know, clean it up. You've been telling me that since I was 2!

Audrey says to me while in the car " I am really using my eyes, my whole eye to see everything around me as art, because everything is beautiful. I think most people only use half of their eye and don't see the beauty that is right around them." ME: .......

The backstory: In Audrey's class you can earn "money" by doing certain jobs or good things. Then they can use the "money" to buy special privileges. But if you are loud or misbehaving in any way you can get money taken away from you. Also, recently her teacher went on maternity leave and she has a retired sub for the remainder of the year. 

Recent conversation: Audrey: Man I am so frustrated I used to have so much money and then my teacher left and now I have this sub.
ME: Why don't you have any money?
Audrey: Let's just say it's not because I'm buying so many privileges!!!!!

Me: I don't know we'll have to see what's out then! 
Audrey: I want a Cadillac.... a big one!
Me:

I asked Audrey "How was school today?" She says " it was mostly good, except P.E. that's awful! There are two teams and the one team wins all the time, it's like they have magnets stuck on them and the winning goes to them and it's like my team has soap and winning slides off and slips right out of our hands!!!"

Audrey took a hot shower then immediately put on a pair of skinny jeans and was complaining that they were to tight. I said take them off let you skin cool down then they will be fine. She hops into her bed with just underwear on and says "wow now I know what dad feels like! Comfy!"

Me: no I don't know why!
Audrey: because I would totally nail English, I mean nail it!!!!!! Reading, writing, speaking perfectly! It's an easy A. 
Me: shakes head
