Oh Kate

Tonight was Kate's turn to make me laugh. Kate was sitting on the couch with her cousin Zella who is 17 months old and cute as a button. I had to go downstairs for something so I told Kate to stay on the couch with Zella and I would be right back.

Kate: "Uhhh!"
Me: "What do you mean 'uhhh!' ? Don't be a whiner, I will be right back."
Kate: Mimicking me in a whiny voice, "When is this baby going to come out?"
Me: Laughing, "Oooooh, that was pretty good! What else have you got?"
Kate: Mutters something I can't hear.
Me: "What did you say?"
Kate: "At least there is one grown up around here."
Me: Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh....

I thought I was doing a good job at pretending to be a grown up. I guess not if my 8 year old can see right through me! I just hope Ella doesn't find out because then I am in real trouble. Kids are so fun and to think I am doing it all over again. I guess that is one reason babies are, well, babies. If they could talk and be all sassy right from the start nobody would want a baby. Thank heavens they come out all sweet or I don't know that I would make it. ha ha
