We call her Megzilla because there is so much of her. She’s goofy, in your face, chatty, not afraid to be loud, tender hearted, matter of fact, quick to feel bad kind of girl. Even though she has her moments, don’t we all, she is such a delight in my life I don’t know what I would do without her to snuggle with in the mornings, as my lunch buddy who dominates the conversation, or my partner in crime. My dad tells me she reminds him of the way I was. I’m not sure if I should be afraid or grateful…I guess I’m just lucky she’s mine.

She has such a way with expressing herself I thought I would share a few classics with you to celebrate who she is on her fifth birthday.

She got out a sucker when there was only one left. I said she couldn’t have it because there wasn’t enough for everyone. Then she said, “I don’t want it for everyone!” (6/4/07)

“Oh, that granola is really healthy.” (said after eating homemade granola and then throwing it away in the trash. 9/7/07)

“Mom, my poo smells terrible.” (11/1/07)

“Mommy, when I’m grown up I will miss you.” (1/1/08)

“I’m now four and I know everything.” (7/26/08)

“I’m serious about this and I’m not even lying.” (7/26/08)

“Mom, I don’t know what I want, I just want it.” (2/7/09)

Me: “Wow, Meg you have lots of money.”
Meg: “I know I got if from you.”
Me: “What do you mean you got it from me?”
Meg: “From the plastic bag.”
Me: “What plastic bag. I didn’t have a plastic bag full of money?”
Meg: ” I know, cuz I took it.” (3/22/09)

“Do I even know what I’m in here for?” (said when she walked into the laundry room looking for something. june 2009)

“I knew that because I’m a practical little girl.” (june 2009)

Happy Birthday Megan! Luv you.
