Y’all know one of my favorite things to share is conversations with my girl! At only 6 years old, Rhyan can hold a conversation with the best of them and she gives so many quotables! Six years in and I still find myself saying “Girl, where did you come from?!” And the answer is always the same. She came right from her mama and she got it honest! She is FULL of sass! Our conversations are equally hilarious, enlightening, random, heartwarming and downright dramatic sometimes.

When Rhyan gets sleepy, her emotions are all over the place. One minute, she’s sad. The next minute, she’s grumpy and there’s a possibility that I’m “the worst mommy EVER!” The next minute, I get “I just love you so much mommy and I never want to let you go.” It’s an emotional rollercoaster to say the least, but I’m always along for the ride. Tonight was no exception…

• Rhyan: I want my OWN house!
• Me: Well, do you know how you get to have a house?
• Rhyan: Be a grown up?
• Me: Yes. Be a grown up. But also have money. You know how you get money to buy a house?
• Rhyan: By having a job.
• Me: Not just any job, a GOOD job. That means you have to finish school so you can get a good job and make a lot of money so you can buy a house.
• Rhyan: But I already have money in my piggy bank!
• Me: You do. But that’s not enough to buy a house, beautiful.
• Rhyan: *starts crying* But why??? I want to have enough money to buy a house! I have a lot of money. Why isn’t it enough?
• Me: It takes a lot more than piggy bank money to buy a house!
• Rhyan: *hysterically crying* But I want to have enough money!
• Me: Hey, why are you crying? Because guess what! Even if you DID have enough money in your piggy bank, you’re not even old enough to buy a house yet. So if you keep saving, by the time you are old enough, you’ll have enough money to buy your own house. Besides, if you buy your own house, you’ll have to live there without mommy. You’re ready to leave me already?
• Rhyan: Nooooooooo!!!! I don’t want a house! I never want to leave you!
• Me: Well you’re going to have to leave me eventually. You can’t stay with mommy forever!
• Rhyan: *crying again* Yes I CAN! I don’t want a house. I’m never leaving mommy!
• Me: Rhyan, are you sleepy?
• Rhyan: *sobs hysterically* YES!!! I want to go to sleep!

Whew chile! The drama! It’s so hard not to laugh sometimes, especially when she’s being emotional. But it’s also so hilarious at the same time! I appreciate these little moments now because I know in just a few short years, she’ll be counting down the days until she can leave mama’s house! I’m going to keep track of all the times she says she’ll never leave me to show her when grows up and she’s ready to leave the nest. Until then, stay as long as you want, sweet girl!
