Between us girls....

Here are some very interesting conversations with Francesca over the past few weeks that I must share...

One day as I was waking her up from her 2 hour nap...(she was not in a good mode) she said to me...

Francesca: "Mommy, I am just having a bad day."

Me: "You are...Did you have a good nap? Are you still tired?"

Francesca: "I don't know. I am just having a bad day, but I think some McDonald's would make me feel so much better. Chicken and some french fries will do the trick! What do you say, mom..."

How could I resist - oh course we went to McD's that night!

While one day up at my mom's house for supper...
I was trying to round up the kiddos to head home so I could give them a bath and than get them into bed. Francesca was trying to carry on a way-off-the-topic conversation with Grandma while she was cleaning up from our supper (Francesca trying to prolong her time at Grandma's). Meanwhile, I was asking Francesca - loudly - if she was ready to go. I think she got a little upset with me for interrupting her because she stopped mid-sentence, turned and looked at me, and said...
"For the love of God, Mom...I am having a very important talk here with Grandma!"
I think my mom pee her pants for she said it exactly the way I do....

and

Since we started the month of April with Francesca's calender (that we must do every day), she just can not understand why Annabelle and G.G. share the same birthday (April 28th). Francesca was insisting that she & Papa would also share a birthday too (Papa's was the 7th). One morning - as soon as her eyes opened - she was insisting that we call Papa...so we did.

Francesca: "Hi Papa. I want to share your birthday with you. Can we do that? I think it sounds like a good idea. I could give you a present and you can give me a present. I would like a black boat with oars so we can go fishing...catch a fish...and feed it to a bear. That's what I want to do. Sounds good Papa - right! "

My poor father was speechless - what do you say to that at 8AM in the morning....

Gotta love that girl of mine....
