This is Caroline’s account of the fishing trip she took with her daddy yesterday.
Fishing Story from Big Mama on Vimeo.
She comes by the use of hand gestures honestly due to her Italian ancestry.
Which also explains her need to overshare.
The one that got away
May 4, 2008
Surely that shirt will soon be the main topic of the next Fashion Friday???
Oh my gosh…that video is going to be priceless when she is older and brings home her new boyfriend for you and P to meet! She is ADORABLE! Her passion and excitement are contagious!
Oh, the ending just kills me. That is one funny little girl.
Oh, man! You should have warned me! I came THIS close to spitting my coffee out when she said that last bit! LOL!
As another one of Italian heritage, I can clearly relate to the use of hands while talking.
Very cute!!
Did she get her line caught on the bottom of the boat?
Kids are too funny!
That was thoroughly entertaining, and going along with what Jenny said, I agree the video could be priceless when she’s about 16.
Bwahahahahahhahahahaha! She cracks me up!
oh. my. word!!!!!!!!!!
I bent over laughing at that one! She totally caught me off guard with her last statement.
Fishing equipment $25
Cute little camo shirt $15
Video that will embarass her in the future-priceless!!!!
Big Mama! I dont’ want to sound like a blog-stalker but it was SO good to finally have a voice to the blog!
Caroline is a hoot!
Too, too cute! I have 3 girls (5, 5, 4) and their storytelling style is very similar to Caroline’s right up to the bold proclamation of bodily functions.
Yeah Big Mama, what Stephanie said…your accent is so cute! And well I have found that most good fishing stories end with some poop.
My favorite: “I need to go poop”. Yep. Our kids keep us humble.
all that yankin’ lol
…and yankin’ and yankin’ and yankin’ and yankin’…..
I need to go poop.
PRICELESS!!
On a personal note- I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your Oh So Southern accent!!!! Now I feel as though I am a friend and not just an internet reader of your life. :0)
Funny! Who knew I had an italian heritage? But I must what with the hand gesturing and oversharing.
Our Tabor likes to talk with his hands as well. They’d have to talk from a couple feet apart, so no one would get hit.
Priceless. Thanks for sharing.
But was there any yanking? :>)
SHE IS ADORABLE!!!
She is hilarious! Love the ending!
So funny! My son is 4 1/2 and he is big on the hand gestures too. I cracked up with the “I have to go poop” part because we get that a lot in the middle of our stories too!
That is such a fun age, I LOVE it!!
Too funny
I am not sure if I have ever left a comment for your blog or not. I have been a new reader for the past several weeks and your interesting and funny posts have now brought you up to a “must check everyday” status on my end. I really enjoy your writing style and I must say that this last video of your daughter with the fishing story was priceless. I was laughing out loud thinking that my daughter will be quite similar when she gets older – mainly because that was ME when I was younger! Thanks for sharing on the blogosphere!
Glad I watched to the end, the last five seconds are the best!
That was glorious.
wow.
what more is there to say?
LOVED it! I’m still laughing… Got to go watch it again!
The Academy called.
They are wondering where to send the Oscar.
At least she knows her limits on not starting long stories when other things need to happen first.
I laughed so hard!
Unbelievable.
i liked your southern drawl– very cute.
and the hand gestures KIIIILLLED ME!!! caroline, you are a funny girl… just like your (big) mama. haaaaa….
BAH HA HA! Madeline did that to me TODAY…IN CHURCH!
I nearly spewed diet Coke out my nose. Okay, now breathe, breathe. TOO funny!
Clearly, this is why God gave us kids. He knew we’d get bored from time to time and need a constant form of entertainment.
Keeping it real, here at Big Mama. Caroline is a cutie pie!
That is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!
Is she always that animated? IF she is, we must keep her far from my five year old. They would make quite a pair! TROUBLE!
Hahahahahaha! I love a surprise ending
That’s priceless.
Too funny.
I was telling a story the other day and the same thing happened to me…. : )
Oh, I’m just cracking up at the ending!! She reminds me of my niece telling us all a story, ending and all. LOL
Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. Love it!
What a cutie! Loved it!
Well, apparently Caroline is the long lost twin of my 5 year old son. I just made my husband watch that video, and he said, “Gosh, that looks familiar! Who knew he had a sister out there somewhere?” They’d be seriously dangerous together. So funny. Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone.
The whole family gathered around to watch that one…laughed outloud…thanks for that! She is precious…and so reserved and shy
“and yanking and yanking and yanking” HA! Adorable.
I’ve been reading your blog for a long time but have never commented. That video was hilarious. I was laughing out-loud for sure!
Oh my word!!! That just kills me! toooo funny!!!
Did she finish the story after she went poop? Or was it just too long? And was there more yanking?
Way too cute.
That has got to be the cutest thing ever!
Absolutely priceless!
Now THAT is funny!! You could send it in to America’s Funniest Home Videos!! Actually, no, wait a few years and THEN send it in… she will just want to DIE! (Imagine her saying that with big arm motions and lots of tears! ha ha)
Ohhhhh…watch out Hollywood…I see a star in the making…..
a yankin and yankin and yankin!!
And, I gotta go poop!!
Way too funny Caroline! Great story!
She is too cute. And funny too!! I bet she’ll really love that video when she’s about 14.
I’m laughing right out loud now – - – that ending was to die for!!!
All that yankin always leads to poop (or toots!)
Cutest thing ever. Ev-er.
Hilarious! She is such a cutie! Our 4 year old little boy likes to announce his need to poop wherever he may be. Saturday we were in Wal-Mart, when he yelled it out. It must be a 4 year old thing…
Anyway, you got one funny gal!
lol priceless
I LOVE that. Wow…..THAT was why she was using the hands…..to keep from thinking of the other! What a sweetie….thanks for sharing!
So Funny!
I loved the yankin’ and yankin’ and yankin’…
And I gotta go poop~~ so funny!
She is quite animated, isn’t she?!
I love the honesty
Too cute! That was the short version of the story? I’m worn out just from listening. The ending was worth it though.
I wish she’d been a little more animated. Hopefully she’ll come out of her shell someday.
Oh too cute!!!
The only thing more fantastic than her story ending was your willingness to share it with us! I, too, almost lost coffee through the nose.
“I need to go poo”. Classic. She will be so proud of this video someday. I want to be there in 10 years when you show it to her again.
I had to laugh! She reminds me so much of my oldest daughter (6 yrs). Love the animated storytelling! And yes, at our house that would be saved for viewing at a later date…
ok now THAT was hilarious.
I have a 4 1/2 year old myself so i know all about this…. anyway – thanks for sharing a good laugh this morning.
Beth B. (tired mommy to a busy 4.5 yr old)
Greatness! What an ending. I love how kids share everything.
Stinkin’ hilarious! Oh, no pun intended!
I love it! What a precious girl you have. Save that to show to her future husband. My mom shared all our naked little kid videos with my husband when we were dating in high school. He then delighted in telling people he had seen me naked. Ha ha!
Get it on DVD and play it at her wedding rehearsal!!!! It’s priceless!
You could not have planned a better ending. If she wouldn’t hate you for the rest of her life, I’d send it into America’s Funniest Home Videos (or whatever the current format is).
I DO love that sweet child!!!
OMGoodness! I am just dying over here. Caroline and J would be good, good friends. That is just too funny!
You should have warned us that anyone who is 36 weeks, and 2 days pregnant (like me) ought not to view that video for fear of pre-term labor due to spontaneous outbreak of big ol’ belly laughs! Priceless. Simply priceless.
That could NOT have ended any better. I love the “yankin and yankin’ and yankin’” part!!
laughing so hard i’m crying…JUST in case you were wondering!!!
Cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!!!
I am that fool in the office that bursts out with a loud “HAW” when all else is dead silent. Thank you thank you for making my day… and making my coworkers think I am nuts.
That was HILARIOUS!!!! It takes guts to share EVERYTHING with all of us! HA
Love your site, and the video of your little storyteller. : )
Oh, I just love it! She may not love it when she is about 14, but whoo hoo that is funny! Thanks for sharing. she is a cutie pie.
Oh my word! I laughed till I cried! I needed that laugh today, thank you Caroline. The ending was really special!
Hugs,
Marie
