Oh, my daughter…she is so very much like her mother and it’s going to DO.ME.IN!
I love her so very much and everything she does makes me smile. She is happy and joyful and the most “blonde” person I’ve ever met. I think I’m going to create a new section of the blog called “real quotes” so I can post all the funny things she says.
She just came to me and her mouth was blue. I asked if she had eaten a cupcake (today is Preston’s birthday…more on that later) and she said no. I went to the kitchen to assess the damage and I found that she had not eaten a cupcake. She just stuck her finger in the icing of every single remaining cupcake. I can’t reprimand her for this…because she is ME! I totally understand her rationale. She wanted to taste it without eating a whole one because she knew that wasn’t allowed.
When I was a Senior in High School my mom brought home a box of Shamrock cookies on St. Patrick’s day. I saw that one had a leaf broken off, but I knew she needed the cookies for her Mah Jongg group that night. Instead of taking a whole cookie, I broke a little piece off of every one of them. I thought she was going to kill me when she opened the box.
Now I understand. LK just stuck her grimey, dog-petting hands in every single cupcake. Oh well, can’t say I blame her. I love that maniac!
