Pep Talk froma 4 year old


I have two jobs but really no jobs at all. I donate plasma and i babysit from time to time. The later is a bit more enjoyable than the former. Anyway this last weekend i was babysitting my favorite little girl, Indi who is always good for a laugh. We got to have a late night of playing while the parents went out and enjoyed a party with old friends. Indi and I played a couple gambling games with fruit loops and corn pops, a couple guessing games, and rode a big overstuffed tiger named Raja. However, right when we were about to settle down and read The Little Red Hen I got a call from a boy. Indi, who is completely boy crazy at her young age of 4 years started to go crazy when she heard the boys voice! However, through her excitement she could barely squeak out a "hello"!!! Which was then followed by a mad dash to the corner of the room accompanied by a scream of utter delight. This really got her riled up and before i could return to the story of the small hard working hen i started to receive the pep talk. She stood triumphantly on the bed, fists clenched in the air " You have got to focus here! Really i mean come on focus!! YOU YOU you are having a big deal with this one! Where you live, I don't know, but you have got to learn! I CAN'T do this hair, i don't even care a vascally(not a word), i don't ask!!!! Tattle here, okay, you've got to focus! We have got to do things we have never done before! You've got to do just like those guy's! You know like the old man walking down the street, gets hit by a car? Focus! Listen to what i say! If you want to have more focus on whta you want to do you're going to have to do it in a more CLASSTTY( not a word) way and run's!!!!!"

What better words of wisdom could i ask for?
