Conversations

Lately talking to Leah has become a blast. She's like a PERSON who can have actual conversations with me! LOL

Today she was standing in the seat part of a grocery cart & was refusing to sit. I told her if she didn't I would have to buckle her in. I also took something she was playing with (I forget what it was). After I had her sitting & buckled she said to me...

"I'm so mad at you. SO mad!" (while waving her arms in the air to accentuate her point)

I nearly lost it. I just grinned at her. I didn't want to laugh out loud because what if it hurt her feelings?? But instead she starting laughing to so it diffused the moment. But MAN that was funny!

Then a little while later she had my notebook and...

Leah: I want a pen.

Me: I don't have a pen, baby.

Leah: Papa Howard does! (in a very teenager "you're an idiot" kind of voice)

Me (laughing): Oh really?

**Side Note: Papa Howard is my biodad. He is the manager of the meat department in the store.

Leah (yelling at the top of her lungs): PAPA HOWARD! PAPA HOWARD! PAPA HOWARD!

Leah (to me): He not answering me!

Me: He can't hear you from here.

Leah: Oh.

About 10 minutes later as we approach the meat department she spots him and begins yelling again. I was laughing so hard he came over to see what was going on. I told him - he immediately whips a pen out & gives it to her. LOL

The whole thing was hysterical.

Every day with this girl is SUCH a treat!
