Creepy things happen to me all the time!

The latest:

Kyla and I were driving home from Etobicoke to St. Catharines .. (I, of course, was driving, she was in the back seat!) and as happens quite often, she was starting to feel car-sick, so I told her to look out the window and find the furthest thing she could see and try to figure it out .. so she decided to find shapes in the clouds ... and she said she could see a dragon's tail ... and its head was up above the car ... so I played along, wondering if it was going to eat the car! And she shouted YES! .. so I asked if she knew a magic spell to protect us, she didn't know one, but said she knew one to make us invisible... and she proceeded to chant a spell that involved lots of hand actions and spooky words and swooshing noises ... and then she said "Okay! Now we are invisible!" .. and silly me, told her it worked, that I couldn't see the car at all! And no sooner had she said "yay! neither can anyone else! I really am magic!" ... then the big black truck to my left put on his signal and changed lanes RIGHT into me .. I honked and edged onto the shoulder of the road and braked all at the same time ... there was no accident, thank goodness, but the driver of the truck didn't even seem to REACT to my honks or evasive actions.... as though we weren't even there!!!

Kyla moments!

I keep meaning to write these down, so I thought I'd take a second and pop them on here:

1) We were out for dinner with my mom and sister last night, and they now bring the debit machine right to your table. So there my mom is, punching in tip and such, and Kyla slips out of her chair to watch over my mom's shoulder. After a moment, Kyla pipes up "Are you going to win?" (as though a video game is being played!) :) it was very very adorable!

2) We do not have television in our house. Not that we don't have a physical TV, but anything that goes on it is either downloaded from the internet or store-bought. Kyla has been VERY into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and I found the first three seasons from the 1980's airing for her to watch (nearly 80 episodes). We do have rabbit-ears on her little television, and she often gets PBS in the morning before school. This morning I woke up with a headache and so I got Kyla breakfast and turned the tv on for her -- but it was on a different station. Eventually, the more recent version of TMNT came on, but about half-way through, Kyla came into my room and asked if she could please watch her other TMNT, because she was didn't want to "watch a little bit of the show, and then watch bunch of pieces about other shows that are going to be on, before watching more of this show!" .. it took me a minute to understand that she meant, she didn't like commercials!! :)

I love her every day, but some moments are just ... more!
