chit-chattin'.

Tonight I was sitting here on Landry's bed checking e-mail. Landry was sitting with me fixing her babies and chi-chattin'. Actually, she was talking my ears off. Honestly. She went into a long, dramatic story telling me not to lay near the edge of her bed with the "pupooter" (computer) because I might fall off and me and the computer would die. And, she said she would have to tell the boys that Mama died and then she would have to get their milk for them but how would she do that since she can't reach it? Then she tells me how her Daddy is on a long trip in "Frog" (Prague) and he had to ride on an airplane for a long time. I just agree and nod to most of what she is saying because I am reading e-mails and she honestly isn't hardly taking a breath between sentences. So then she goes over and opens her blinds and is looking out into the backyard. I hear,"Ho-wy cap! Ho-wy cap! Wook!" I was trying to process that she was saying "holy crap" as I look out the window. There was Mr. Fox standing by the yellow slide. Once he heard us he ran into the woods.  (Mr. Fox is the name of the fox that we see in our yard all the time. I was so glad when Corey finally saw him last year because I had been seeing him for a few years and he really thought I was seeing a cat and exaggerating its size.) I asked Landry what she was saying when she saw Mr. Fox. She said, "I said Ho-wy cap Mama." I later said, "Landry, I love you." She said, "I am not playing that game with you. I am not playing that game telling you how much I love you. I just love you too." Enough said.
