Sophie (age 2) - "Momma, me wuv Wush!!"
Me - "You love Rush?"
Sophie - "Yes! Wush!"
Me - "Um. Well. You certainly have an eclectic taste in music."
Lily (age 8) - "Mom. She means Big Time Rush. Duh."
Me - "Oh."

Make An Appointment

Heads Up!

Left for me today, by Lily:

Truth Hurts

Ella (age 6 1/2) - "Mommy, can you wrap this towel around me like you do?"
Me - "Sure, but it might not work."
Ella - "Ok."

Fifteen seconds of trying to wrap the towel.

Me - "Sorry, Ella, it's not going to work. You're too skinny."
Ella - "Oh, it works for you because you're so fat, huh?"

Clean Up

Me - "Ella, you spilled water all over the floor. Clean it up."
Ella (age 6 1/2) - "Ok, Mommy."

One Minor Problem

Luke, to whom Lily addressed this note, cannot read.

Mr. Lucas

Me - "Trevor Bannister died."
Mom - "Who?"
Me -  "Trevor Bannister, 'Mr. Lucas.'"
Mom - "Oh! I didn't recognize the name straight away."
Me - "Is he the last to go? No, isn't Capt. Peacock still alive?"
Mom -  "I don't know. But Mollie Sugden died and I know John Inman did as well."
Me - "You're right. Ages ago, right?"
Mom - "Recently, I think. Last few years for both, I'm almost positive."
Me - "Really? It seems like it wasn't that recent."

Ten seconds of Google skill work.

Me - "You're right. This says Inman died in 2007 and Sugden in 2009."
Mom: - "That's what I thought. And Miss Brahms died a couple of years back."
Me - "Who was I thinking of that died a while ago, then?"
Ella (age 6 1/2) - "Abraham Lincoln."
