Just To Clarify

I should probably have titled this "Conversing with a 3 year old." The setting: lunchtime at home. The meal: noodles with butter and cheese. "Mom, I hab a question to ask you." What now? "Why you hab so many noodles on your fork"? "Because I'm a big girl and can eat a lot of noodles in one bite." In Dayton's terms: "You're not a big girl, or a big boy, or a big dog." "You're a big mama." Amen. From Saige's perspective: "skooze me burp" (she says this when she burps or passes gas) My thoughts on it all? How would I survive motherhood without moments of clarity like these?
