I am driving in the car with Alexis on the way to my twins' basketball game.
In the back seat, Alexis is rambling, as she always does, about who knows what (I can't listen to everything she says for goodness sake).
I begin to slow down at the stop light right near the girls' school and there she is in the back seat just talking and talking and talking.
When the car comes to a complete stop and she notices that the light has changed to green, she suddenly says, "Carry on."
I had to look in my rear view mirror to see if she was talking to me - she was - all with her hand up in the air, waving directions - like she was the PRINCESS IN A CARRIAGE or something.
On the upside ... I carried on and kept on driving - because ... that's my job (*sigh*).

Ah the glamour of being a mom. I always say that being a mom is the most humbling experience there is.
Sassy girl. ;)
I can just imagine her waving her hand ala Rosebowl Parade Queen! She may have a future job, Kellan!
I can completly picture your daughter doing that!! I can becasue I can see mine doing the same thing. :)
Your posts always make me smile!
See ya later
HA! What a ham she is:-)
No idea where she gets it from though?
;-)
Did she ask for some bon bons after that? What a gal!
♥ How funny! I love all your kid stories... They crack me up!!! You must be constantly entertained! :)
:) How cute!
That is hilarious. I think my 3 year old is an Alexis in training. The other day she told me, "Princesses don't put their own dishes in the dishwasher!"
How funny!
Thanks for leaving me a comment so I could in return visit your blog. I have to admit, I spent an hour reading your blog after I hopped over here. I love it! You have such a talent and a fun way of writing. I will be here often!
That is so cute!!!!!
As I read this, I could totally see my daughter doing that in a year or 2. She is a total diva. I adore your Alexis stories, thanks for sharing.
That SERIOUSLY cracked me up! What a lil' diva... I LOVE IT!
Stinker! good thing you (and so many of us) love her.
KEEP BELIEVING
Oh geeez....too funny!
That's cute.
You're doing a great job Kellan
My daughter told me a couple of weeks ago that she wants us to buy a limo.
Guess I already know who she expects the driver to be.
Carry on? That's too funny. And you're a good sport.
Carry ON?? That is really funny! Alexis cracks me up!! Have a great weekend, Kellan!! Hope you are feeling totally back to normal by now!
Too funny! We always say "Home James" to Joe when we're out, just to tease him. *lol* ... Of course, it helps that it's his middle name. ;)
P.S. I don't listen to everything Jared says either... Especially if it's about Nascar! ;)
I, too, must admit that when the talk turns to ice fishing, my mind MAY wander just a bit. And I also must admit that my days are a little brighter when it's an Alexis story!
Have a wonderful day, Kellan Renee!
Can I call you Edward instead? I always wanted a chauffeur named Edward to drive me around.
Hope Alexis doesn't mind the company in the backseat!
I'm on my way!
Hallie :)

I always say that I feel like a chauffeur, but I have yet to be told to "carry on" by one of my kids. ;-) Too funny!
I love it! Your kids have such a sense of humor.
LOL! That was hilarious!
Oh that is hilarious!
You are a very good sport. I am glad that my kids are not the only ones like that!
oh dear that's priceless.
What a little character she is.
Precious!!!!
What a hoot!
What a cutie... I love it when they say and so those cute and priceless things.
Girls...ya gotta love them!
Ha!! Didn't know you had British influences in your life.
its so funny when you actually post the conversations, but man o man, they can talk alot huh? yesterday was one of those days with my two little ones talking talking talking. Have a great weekend "James" hehe carry on!
Thank goodness you have her to keep you on task!
And did you come around, open her door at the destination and bow?
LOL That IS our job, isn't it. My son, whose name really is James, now has his driving permit. (Can only drive with a parent) I love picking him up somewhere, changing places with him so he has the wheel and then saying, "Home, James." I think it's funnier than he does.
hahaha! but so true.. I've seen car stickers that says "Mum's Taxi"!
Apparently it is good to be the wee princess at your house. If I had a daughter I would want her to be just like Alexis.
Have a great day and even better weekend.
Tami
Hilarious!! LOL!
Haha, I love it! My brothers like to play airplane in the car, but this totally takes the cake. I can just imagine the little voice saying "carry on". Too cute.
I am betting the little Diva gets it from Mom and Granna!!!
"Home James" indeed!
Hey, at least she's a cute little boss, right?
That is hilarious!! Have a great weekend....if you get time off from chauffering! :)
Gosh they say funny things!
My daughter likes to tell me when the light turns green.
She will make an excellent back seat driver someday! :)
That Alexis of yours... she is quite the princess ;). Has she been learning "British" from her big brother LOL!
Gotta love those princesses, I've got one of those too.
Kellan,
Alexis sounds so funny. I can just picture her doing that.
Steph
the queen chaufferring the princess!
i love it! too good!
happy Friday! XOXOXO
What a silly girl you have. I've always said every little girl is a princess and they know it, how I don't know they just do!
Wow! What a diva! But she sounds so adorable too. :)
OH MY GOSH! That made me laugh so hard!!! That's hilarious! such a princess. LOL!!!
I can see her asking if you "Have any Gray Poupon"
too cute....
Kellan-I have to say that is my favorite story so far since I have been reading. I love it!
ha! That is too cute! I guess that is what happens when our kids get older---we become their personal driver.
Has she been watching Project Runway? That phrase always reminds me of Tim Gunn.
We're totally just our kids' "support staff," aren't we?!
LOL!!! Great Story, James....I mean Kellan.
She's always known she was a princess. HA!
Have a great weekend!
What a gracious little princess she is too! And you, her loyal subject!
How did you keep a straight face?
lol.
And they don't realize... where would they be without us taking them everywhere they want!
It only gets better....she is such a sweetie. Maybe she is practicing to marry royalty one day.
hahahah! That is SO funny!!
Adam usually screams "GOOO MOMMMMYY"
That princess of yours is just too funny! Love that story and your title is perfect!
I would've cracked up so hard!
LOVE your blog! Love it, love it, love it!!!
Did I comment to this yet? Man, I have serious mommy brain! Anyway, I'm sure pretending you are a princess really makes a car ride more pleasurable. I'll have to try that. Funny, as always, Kellan.
Thsi girl seriously needs a tiara.....i am envisioning a birthday party with jewels and manicures, and maybe a limo ride to pick everyone up...
I am laughing out loud here. Ahhhh, girls!
Funny stuff, Kellan. I always enjoy your stories.
Hahaha, your job!! I suddenly realize that I got a new job as a driver beginning of this year when I had to drive my children here and there.
NO! WAY! She did not say that. That is one hilarious little girl you have!!
I can totally see it... how funny!!
lol. my daughter is the same way!!! I can relate...and no, your ears cannot keep up some days. the good thing is, they don't really mind that you aren't always listening...my daughter just loves to hear her own voice!
