The world according to Maddie!

My daughter Maddison!! mmmm I tell you, she has some imagination on her, i think she's a bit la la to be honest (although i cant possibly think where she gets it from!!)

Over the past few weeks she has been coming out with a number of 'statements' that has made us laugh so hard, it brings tears to your eyes.

My darling girl - Maddison Louise

1. Maddie came home from school one day, in a bit of a panic as it was to be her friends birthday the following day, she came rushing in asking 'mum, its noreens birthday tomorrow, do you have any cards??' bit of a stupid question really, when she knows full well that I RUN A CARD BUSINESS!!! I duly hunted out an age appropriate card to which maddie was delighted. Off she skipped the following day clutching her card for noreen. The end of the day came, and maddie came home all pleased that noreen had really liked her card, but then the following BIZARRE conversation took place (M) Maddie (H) Me (N) Noreen

(M) Mum mum, Noreen has invited me to her party, I need my passport!
I did think this a little bit odd, however,wasnt totally surprised, as we have quite a large foreign community here, and i simply thought noreen was doing an 'international' theme for her party.
(H) Why do you need your passport
(M) Because I HAVE BEEN INVITED TO NOREENS PARTY (in a rather impatient 9 year olds voice, like DUH!!)
(H) Noreen sweetheart, why does maddie need her passport?
(N) Because she is coming to my party
(H) OK, where do you live hunny?
(N) Oh, I live just over there (pointing behind her somewhere)
(H) Right OK, but WHY does maddison need a passport, do we need to make her one for your party?
(N) Because I am going home to have my party, and Maddison is invited
(H) Right OK NOREEN WHERE IS HOME?
(N) In Uganda, we are going home at half term, and maddie is coming with us (to which i burst out into fits of laughter and the two girls looked at each other completely flabbergasted as to what was soo funny)

O K, It took some explaining to the girls that you cant just 'nip' to Uganda for a party! To which maddison threw a wobbler shouting, that i never let her go anywhere!! Need to find an atls or something to show her the physical impossibility of just popping over for a party lol.

2. We were all sat at dinner one evening to which Soph started bouncing around at the table saying she needed a wee, so she excused herself and skipped off, all of a sudden there was an ear piercing scream, and sobbing coming from the loo, to which she managed to yell 'there's a spider in the toilet room!!!' I asked Andy to go deal, as i was finisheing my food, and he went to her aide!! Hero!! He then started laughing, as when he got to the loo, he found that it was a large ball of fluff that had obviously come off one of my jumpers after washing. Sophie was NOT CONVINCED AT ALL!!! She sobbed 'But it is a spider, I saw it moving!!' andy then explained it was just fluff and it must have been a draft that had blown it. To which Maddie perked up (still at the dinner table) and she looked extremely confused
(M) How did that get in there then?
(H) What
(M) The giraffe?? How did it get in the toilet room without us noticing??

Silly Arse!!

3. She is having (What she calls) a career quandry!! She simply cannot decide whether she wants to be a fruit seller or a midwife (mmm pardon me??) Then she saw an advert for that ICS distance learning place, and has now decided she wants to do Hospitality Management - WHY??? Because SHE WANTS TO MANAGE HOSPITALS, OF COURSE!!!!!

My Darling Maddie comes out with these kind of things regularly, so i will keep you updated.
