Typical Conversation































From the back seat of the car, on the way to school in the morning, any day in the last month:

"Um, Dad, um, Daddy...um, can you, mmm, did you, um.....is there a thing, ummm....Dad?"

"Yes Honey?"

"Did you, um....did, um, um....."

"Say it out loud so I can hear you, Honey."

"Um......Dad....um, did you ever, um....did you.....Can you tell me about Ancient China?"

"Well.... it is a country far away from..."
"I mean, um, can you tell me a story about a Disney Princess?"

Her thoughts skip and jump like her ever-longer legs, carrying this lithe little body and personality along through a day filled with interesting people and stories and future plans. She is absolutely delightful...when she pays even a little bit of attention to what she is actually doing. And quite nice, though thoroughly frustrating, all the other times too.
