We were driving home from church this morning and, as usual, Caroline was talking without bothering to even take a breath.
Somehow we started playing “I SPY wif my wittle eye”, and by somehow, I mean that we started playing it because she wants to play it ALL THE TIME.
ALL THE TIME.
I have never done so much spying in my life.
It’s particularly challenging when your idea of a color is different than your child’s idea of a color.
At some point we transitioned from I SPY to naming a letter and then guessing what words start with that letter. We began with G.
“Girls! Guns! Gold!”
That totally sounds like the name of some bad hunting magazine, by the way.
“Good job, Sweetie!”
“Now do the letter S, Mama! Let’s do the letter S! Make the S sound!”
“Sssssss….”
“SNAKES! SNAILS!”
She pauses for a moment, her mental supply of S words temporarily taking leave. Then, in a moment of inspiration, she yells out:
“SUCKER PUNCH!”
Oh, she is a dainty one.
