The Twinkies

We were reading “Pup’s Supper” this morning, about a mama otter feeding her pup, and I was pointing out the mama otter and the baby otter and Fiona asked, “But where’s the other baby?”

I explained there was only one baby and she looked and herself and James and said, “But we are one, two.”

Babies come in pairs, you see.

Today in the restaurant, after being told not to turn around and bother the people sitting in the booth behind her, “But I like people.”

At dinner, upon being told that her friends Owie and Kiki want her to come over to play later this week, “Oh. How very nice.”

“I’ll take very good care of you because you are my best Mama ever.” It’s a direct quote.

Today Fiona told me I was the best Mommy ever. Also that she was happy with me though she was not happy with Daddy (who had the gall to send James to his room for a timeout after he hit his sister.)

James went face first into the water on the beach on vacation and afterward told everyone “I went too far.”
