An Afternoon Conversation
Me: I love Word Girl! I think it's my new favorite show.
Eugenia: What about SpongeBob?
Will: What about Plankton?
Me: Well, yeah. I'll always love SpongeBob. And Plankton makes me laugh more than just about anyone.
Will: Does that mean you're going to marry him?
Me: No. I already married the person I want to marry.
Macky: Mama, why did you marry Papa?
Me: Because he was sweet and funny and smart and handsome and he treated me really well, and he's my best friend in the world. And I liked being with him more than anybody.
(Dirty looks from all three kids.)
Me: That's before I met all of you. Now, I like being with all of you, more than anybody.
Macky: Do you like him more than meeeee?
Me: I already said: I like all of you.
(Pause.)
Macky (sounding kind of disgusted): Just say "No."

Word Girl is my daughters' favorite show. "Word" and "Girl" were almost Lucy's first words. That show rocks.
My kids love Word Girl too. My favorite is Lady Redundant Woman.
Macky is too funny.
What a nice little tribute to the hubs!
Thanks for the great intresting blog. I enjoy it.
