I had a conversation with Kate today that was rather interesting. She's really been into figuring out things lately. Today it was how some people have curly hair.
Kate (K): Mom how does Chelsea's hair stay curly?
Me (Me): Her hair grows curly.
K: Will my hair ever grow curly?
Me: No, your hair will always grow straight.
K: So did she come out with curly hair?
(Translation: Was she born with curly hair?)
Me: Yep.
K: Kinda like your friend Roberta, huh?
Me: Who?
K: Roberta!
Me: You mean Aunt Maryann?
K: No, Roberta!
Me: Who's Roberta?
K: Your friend Roberta, Mom! Little Allen's mom.
Me: Oh, Roberta. Yeah. Like hers.
How could I have forgotten my friend Roberta?!? Could it be that Kate meant my friend Gerberta?!? Apparently I've had my first "Duh, mom!" moment.
And with this kid, I'm sure there are more to come!

Oh, how I LOVE that last picture. And you tell Kate that it's ok - I have been called Roberta by many people for most of my life. Even 'Big Allen' thought my name was Roberta when we first met.
Does she still pray for little Allen? Or the scout boys?
I love that face she has got it down. How funny Ella already thinks she is smarter than me too!
Oh, I love that last picture, too!!! It was great!!!
Cute! And I love her face in that last picture!
