Do I Have 5 Minutes?

I was talking to my mom on the phone the other day and I was needing to let her go because it was almost naptime. Not wanting Sadie to pick up on that fact (to try to avoid a fit), I decided to spell what was impending. The conversation went like this:

Me: "Okay, Mom, I'm gonna have to let you go. (Spelling) S-A-D-I-E needs to N-A-P."

Sadie: "Momma, do I have 5 minutes?"

Well, in trying to avoid a situation, I figured out that my little girl can now understand the spelling of her name and nap. I want a smart child, I really do, but geesh - can't I just have a simple conversation anymore?? :D

MY Daughter!!

Our good friends just had a baby. Tonight I am taking them a meal, so I went to the store to get the stuff to make the dessert. While we were there, Sadie wanted blue jello so I bought a box of the old-fashioned, make-it-yourself jello. When we got home from the store it was naptime, so I was tucking Sadie in. The conversation went like this:

Sadie: "Momma, I want you to hold me."

Me: "Aw, Sadie I can't right now. I have to make Audra's family their dessert."

Sadie: "Okay, but after you make their dessert don't forget to make mine."

Me: "Okay, babe."

Sadie: "It's the blue jello. Don't forget to make it for me."

She may look just like Brian, but she is my daughter - DON'T EVER FORGET THE DESSERT!!!
