Playing Chicken!

Whitley is afraid of alligators-
She hates them. She is random and will just out of the blue says things all the time like "I don't want the alligator to bite me" and " Mom alligators don't eat little girls!" etc. So to calm her fears We tell her that there are no alligators in Utah and that they only eat chickens.



So the other night driving home Whitley starts talking about how she doesn't want the alligator to bite her and keeps asking me what alligators eat! I tell her they only eat chickens. She seems fine and a minute later starts pestering Karden-Who is trying to play Mario on the gameboy next to her in the car. She keeps bugging him and he dies in the game. Then I hear Karden from the backseat say in a exasperated Voice "Mom- Can we dress Whitley like a chicken?!?"


This was one of those parenting moments were you try really hard not to laugh, but can't contain it. I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face. 5 year old boys crack me up!
