from the mouth of a 3 year old . . .

little miss (to shrimp): "since when did you become the mother?" (repeating exactly as i asked her 2 days ago!)

little shrimp: "8 weeks ago!"

me: "there's only 1 mother girls . . . "

little shrimp: "no . . . actually there are a lot of mothers. dylan's mother . . . your mother . . . daddy's mother . . . "

*********

me (to shrimp): "that sure is a big bite in your mouth."

little shrimp: "daddy . . . why don't you have a big bite in your mouth?"

daddy: "because it is easier to eat when you take small bites. you should try it sometime!"

little shrimp: "i know daddy . . . but i don't know how to cut!"
