My sister has a 4 year old daughter and this was an e-mail she sent me:
[SIZE=12pt]Winnie and I were doing errands this morning. We were in the car, she in the back seat, and I looked in the rear view mirror and said, "Winnie, your Momma looks like a bum." I heard a little teehee coming from the back and she said, "Momma, you don't have any cracks." Took me a minute....you?[/SIZE]
Then another:
[SIZE=12pt]She's just taken sheets off her bed and I'm finding her something to wear. My head is in the closet and I turn to her....she's sitting on the bed, in what I believe what would be a meditation posture....legs crossed, hands resting on her knees, palms up, eyes closed....[/SIZE]
"Winnie, are you meditating?"
"Shh, Momma, this is what people do when they want to talk to dead people. I'm trying to talk to Sydney." (for those of who cannot remember, Sydney is our past cat that disappeared our first spring here)
One more:
[SIZE=12pt]Now we all know how much we love the fact that capris are in style and we probably have quite a few pairs of them. Winne isn't quite sold on the concept....[/SIZE]
Today she wore capris (4th time). Winnie, do you like these capris?
No, Momma, they are too short! She doesn't get it!!! Her reaction is the same every time she wears capris.....poor kid probably thinks we don't have money to buy her long pants!!
