I just put the Girl Child to bed and I wanted to record this quickly, before I forgot it. We were going downstairs, after saying good night to her brother, to have some dessert and watch some Yankees baseball and we had the following exchange:
Me: Would you like some pudding?Her: The green kind?
Me: No, the other one.
Her: The butterscotch?
Me: Yes. [Ed. Note: The sugar free butterscotch jello pudding is like crack for the low carbers. Pure crack, I tell you]
Her: No [long drawn out and contemplative]. I'm into introducing myself to some ice cream.
Me: What did you say?
Her: I'm into introducing myself to some ice cream. I think I'll share with Mamma.
I really had to ask her to repeat herself. I just could not quite believe what she said or how she said it.

Posted by: Tuning Spork at September 15, 2004 12:10 AMFrinklin, I couldn't believe it either. That's why I had to ask her to repeat herself.
Well, TS, she's young yet and she may grow out of it. ;)
Thanks, Jester, you bet I will!

way too cute
giggling thinking of what your face must have been when you heard it...
She has the right idea. I think we should all introduce ourselves to some ice cream. Then take a nap.
That's so *adorable*, Random! Makes my womb clench... :::sighs::: Ya know, nobody warned me that ramping up to menopause meant my womb was going to clench every 5 seconds or so! Nature's way of saying, "The two-minute warning just went off but you still have a chance! GO FOR IT!"
Posted by: Amber at September 15, 2004 11:52 AMOh, man, she's adorable! And polite... after all, she wants to introduce herself, doesn't she?
I hope she doesn't grow out of it all too much! :)
