Upon hearing the news that his gerbil had died Marshall exclaimed, "Let's get him i
n the ground and he can sing to the mice!"
About a month ago, 7-year-old Madison greeted me excitedly with: "Guess how far I can burp my 'A-B-C's!' ...To 'C!' Burrr-Aaa!! Did you hear that? It's hard..." Me: "Keep working on it, honey."
Several months ago one of our 3-year-old twins didn't have her Bear at bedtime (the stuffed animal she's slept with every night since she was a baby). Me: "Emma, where's Bear?" Emma: "Bear doesn't like me. I gave him to Cooper." Me: "Bear loves you very much and needs you to help him get to sleep at night. Where is he, honey?" Emma: "Bear and I play hide and seek and now he's lost." Then I found one of her look-alike bears, but she sniffed it and said, "That's not Bear." Me: "You can tell by smell?" Emma: "No. I mean, yeah."
