Audrey says "Mom I have an email from Papa (her dads, dad) asking me to join him on LinkedIn..... I'm not even on that yet because I don't have a job! What do I do?" 

Me: giggling

The other night on our way back from dinner we walked passed Big Ben and we point it out to Audrey, she says "well I can check that off my bucket list!" I didn't even know it was on her list!

Benjamin was really picking on Audrey today. Finally she looks at me and says "can't you send him to obedient school like they have for dogs?"

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!!!!!
