Having a teenage daughter has been one of the most fun eras of my life – and I am being serious.  I am so blessed to have a daughter that is smart, fun, and has a great attitude… about 99% of the time.  I dont know if the “Terrible Teens” just never kicked in with her or if we just arent quite there yet (she turned 14 this Summer) but either way I am loving this time in our lives.

As I have shared before, The Teen has “moments” that are similar to “blonde moments” but well… we are all brunettes.  So we dubbed them “Sami Says” moments and I have shared them with you before here and here – just in case you need a few more laughs.

This Summer has been full of Sami Says Moments and I wish now that I had written every single one of them down.  This week we had two that I remember… enjoy.

Mexican Oil

Sami: Can we go eat at that “Casa Oil” place?

Mike: Casa Oil?

Sami: You know – that place we always passed on the way home from school last year?  The Mexican place?

Me: Casa OLE?

Sami: Its pronounced “Oh-lay?”

Mike: You took Spanish for an entire year and didn’t know it was “Oh-lay?”

Sami: They didnt teach us bull fighting in there….

Mike: *facepalm*

For The Love Of Candy

Sami: Mom, if you had to learn another language other than Spanish, what would it be.

Me: American Sign Language – I have always wanted to learn.

Sami: I think I want to learn Italian.

Me: Its a sexy language.  But when would you use it?

Sami: Like… when I go to Greece.

Me: *blank stare*

Sami: Oh wait – they speak Greek don’t they?

Me: *bust out laughing* Yes baby, they speak Greek – another beautiful language.

*a few moments of silence*

Sami: Maybe I should learn to speak Swedish… that way I could go over there and order chocolate and Swedish Fish in their “native tongue…”

I nearly had to pull the car over I was laughing so hard.
