Kelly Gibbons, artist and writer, about me

I have given up (for the moment) on re-directing this site. Once something frustrates me enough I just walk away and then come back to it a little later. Then I'm usually able to figure it out. When I do, I'll let you know.

Kids are fun. I spent a few hours today with my nieces and nephews, ages 3mths to 8 years old. It was my niece Katie's 5th birthday, so they came to swim.

My niece Natalie gave me my own magic mirror:
She told me I have to say, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all?" (you can do it too!)

It's you of course!

Some more fun things they said and did:
The eight year old Connor to me: Aunt Kelly, do you remember back in the old days when my dad had a poodle dog?
Me: I don't remember any old days, I wasn't living in the old days!

Connor: What's Brian doing?
Me: Probably playin' video games.
Connor: Does he have Game Cube?
Me: Yes.
Connor: Does he have X-Box?
Me: Yes.
Connor: Well I'm gonna get Play Station 2 because it's for ages 8 and up, and I'm 8.

Katie: Aunt Grandma
Me: You better not be talking to me!

Katie: Aunt Kelly are you coming in the pool yet?
Me: In a minute.
Natatlie: Aunt Kelly are you coming in the pool yet?
Me: In a minute.
Katie: Aunt Kelly are you coming in the pool yet?
Me: In a minute.
Katie: Well, it's been way more than a minute. You have to get in the pool NOW!

Me: What do you want for your birthday?
Katie: (tells me a few things)
Me: Any thing else?
Katie: Well, I coulda brought my birthday list, but it's home on the refrigerator.
Me: Call me later and tell me.
Katie: I don't have your number.

It is so fun to play in the pool with them too. They just scream as loud as they can for no reason at all, so I did it too! Try it. It's really fun.
