How she got out of paying for breakfast on Father's Day!
baba: “Are you paying for breakfast today Lilah?”
lilah: “No, I can’t reach the counter.”
baba: “Don’t worry, I can pick you up”
lilah: “I don’t have enough money.”
baba: “Sure you do, it’s in your piggy bank!”
lilah: “Well, I don’t want to take my money out of my piggybank until it’s all full!” Walking down the street past a City Bus one day: "Why is it called a City Bus, because everyone is sitting?" “When you laugh at me, it makes me feelings feel bad!” “Mama, I love that mushroom soup. I remember you made that soup a long time ago, you know, when you were the same height but had a younger face.” After helping her take a staple out of one of her pages one day: “Thank you Mom, that’s what parents are for!” One morning I had a sore stomach and Lilah sweetly rubbed my belly and said: “You really need to stay at home and take care of yourself.” After getting a few of her drawings from school gathered together, she stapled them in the corner and starting flicking through them, then turned to me and said: “These are my university papers, they’re all available now.” I don’t even know where she heard the word ‘university’! “Do you know how there’s always birds poo? Well, do birds pee as well?” “If we had a white car it would be better, then you wouldn’t see the bird poo!” "I'm the super expert, so I think I should blow up the balloons!" Talking to her stuffies one day: "Rule number one is NO fighting. Rule number two is NO snatching. Okay?" lilah: "Mama, where's the ipad?"
me: "I hid it, I'm not telling you."
lilah: Well, remember, there's no secrets in our family!" Last but not least, TODAY we got our Letter Seeking Confirmation! When I told Lilah the news she said: "That's good news, we've been praying for that!" (more news about that and our tentative travel dates on Phebe's blog)
