My funny little Aidan

So Aidan is sitting at the table eating her dinner as Kale and I are talking.

K: Why is that cat still bellowing? I fed her already.

M: I dunno, maybe she is out of water.

A: What does bellowing mean?

M: To cry loudly. Like you do all the time. ( I say this with a laugh, I am not trying to be mean I promise)

A: No I don't.

M: Oh yeah, were you not bellowing earlier because you were soooooo hungry?

A: I don't need to hear this from you right now. (Said with a straight face and an annoyed look)

I about died laughing. I really shouldn't encourge this "teenagerish" behavior, someday it will bite me in the ass.

I have no idea where she got this word from.

Aidan has a vast vocabulary for her age, or so I am told by her teachers. She picks up words I use very quickly and uses them appropriatly. So when she was talking to my parents and I one weekend and came out with this "I am a scintillating girl". Just out of the blue, no lead up, no back story, just that statement. I was like where on earth would she hear that word, I truthfully thought it was a dirty word until I looked it up. It means to be animated and brilliant. That she is.
