It's too bad...

they don't say funny/cute/priceless/heartwarming things...

• Elise to Abby, as she embraces her in a hug: "My Abby..."
• Abby to me, as we're snuggling after naps: "I love you..." to which I replied "I love you too, Abby", to which she replied "No, not Momma, ducky."
• Elise to no one in particular: "By jove, I got it."
• Abby to me in the car, talking about a book-on-tape we had just turned off: "Momma, I don't like The Three Billy Goats Gruff either."
• Elise to me, after lighting the menorah: "Momma, something you have? Teeny present?"
• Abby at the dinner table, talking about a good friend's husband: "Me see Jamey bald head?"
• Elise to me, every time we pull into my parent's driveway: "My Grandpa..."
• Abby: "I say Hanu-puh" (Hanukkah)
• Elise: "I say Honka-puh" (Hanukkah)
• Abby, requesting a bite of my breakfast: "Momma, I love 'dis cereal"
• Elise, talking about a good friend's little girl: "Momma, Jovea like fried beans (refried beans)?"
• Abby, while looking out the window and seeing neighbor Bob's Christmas lights: "Good job, Bob!"

Happy Friday!
