MORE GRETA

I wish I could convey her tone when I post some of these Greta quotes, because really that's what makes what she says the most interesting!

The other day, we dropped Mali off at one of her classes and headed across the parking lot to the library. It was not a pleasant visit to the library for me. I spent the whole time chasing after Quinn, picking him up screaming because I wouldn't let him pull all the books off the shelf for the 4th time, whispering loudly to Greta "please sit, those chairs are not for standing on." "Greta, come this way." "Greta, that's too loud." "Greta, that will break if you swing on it." So, we left in a frazzled hurry. As we left, Greta said, "Why did we have to leave the library?" and in my frustrated huff, I said, "I thought we could go spend some time there but you and Quinn were just too wild and loud to be in there right now." She said with her sincere, adult-like little voice, "Well, Mama, that's just how kids are. That's how Quinn is because he's a baby. That's how I am because I'm a kid. We are just like that."
