5 years old

I called Kathryn. It went like this:
(Please imagine my voice as being overly excited and hers as being overly bored.)

me: Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Kathryn! Happy Birthday to you.
Kathryn: . . . .
me: Happy Birthday, Kathryn.
Kathryn: Thank you.
me: Does it feel different to be 5 years old?
Kathryn: Yes.
me: Well, how do you feel?
Kathryn: I feel good.
me: What are you doing for your birthday?
Kathryn: I'm shopping for candy for my birthday right now.
me: Do you have any --
Kathryn: OKAY! Bye, I love you!
me: Oh, okay bye.
Kathryn: Wait, what were you going to say?
me: I was just wondering if you had any birthday wishes.
Kathryn: Thanks, I love you! BYE!

Oh, so your birthday wish is to NOT talk to me on the phone.
Got it.

A few weeks ago my mom was on the phone with me, and after Kathryn interrupted her several times she asked, "Kathryn wants to know if the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl and if it's growing yet."
"Tell her I have some of each, but they're not growing yet."
"Oh, okay." Kathryn said.

Kathryn was lying in bed, listening to my dad and uncle laugh in the living room.
"It sounds like they're having fun," she said.
"Yeah," my mom said, "Your dad likes when Matt's here."
"Do you think we should go out there?"
"No, you're supposed to be going to sleep."
...
"Am I supposed to be having fun right now?"
"No. You're supposed to be going to sleep."
"Oh. That makes sense."

I tried to upload a video that I took of Kathryn singing a few months ago, but the video has been at 39% for like 6 hours. So that's a no go.


Here's a link to Kathryn's birthday post last year, which I reread and then laughed until I cried a little. And peed a little.
Also, here are several other posts which are mostly about how funny she is, which I don't want to rewrite, but want to encourage you to read.
And don't forget to read the comments, since that's where my parents post additional funny things she says.

Five years old... REALLY?
Kathryn's birthday last year.

The Family in general being ridiculous, (but with lots of Kathryn)
A weekend at the cabin.
The last time I saw Kathryn.

Please, if you have time to waste... waste it with the Froelichs. We are so very entertaining.
Oh, and here's a link to a video or two on the family blog of the best singer ever: Kathryn.
