Conversations with a five-year old

At first I wasn't sure if I could keep this up. But Riley just surprises with the little gems that come out of her mouth. I don't think we will be having a problem at all!

Mommy to Daddy: You should have your "I'm bossy" {by Kelis} as your ringtone. 

Riley: I'm Poppsy

Mommy: No, I'm Bossy

Riley: You know who's bossy?

Daddy: Who?

Riley: Daddy!

Daddy: Because I'm the boss. You can tell everybody.

Riley: .....not my friends at school. 

Riley: My farts are silent that means quiet.

Daddy: What did you say?

Riley: None of your business

{Riley playing outside with the neighbors}

Mommy: Riley I can't see you.

Riley {yells back}: Don't worry

Riley: What's wrong mommy?

Mommy: I just miss daddy. I wish he could spend more time with us.

Riley: Here look at this picture that will make you feel better. {points to picture} That's Daddy.

Mommy: Thank you Riley. :)
