"Is Daisy my cousin?"
There was a long conversation on our way to the gym about Dessa coming to visit today. Pickle always says her friend Dessa. I tried explaining that cousins were extra special. And that she was lucky to have a cousin 2 weeks older then her. I'm sure she thought about the whole cousin role all day long. Then she busts out "mama, is daisy my cousin?" I thought that was fricken funny!
Another funny one, all my nieces call me Gomie. Started when I became my oldest niece in Switzerland's God Mother. In German it's called Gertie but it sounds worse with a thick german accent. That didn't jive with me at the time so we came up with Gomie a mix between god mother and mom. It just stuck. Every now and then Pickle will bust out a "GOMIE, mmmmoooommmm." But today there was a fight about who's Gomie. Pickle said "my Gomie" Dessa said "my Gomie." Pickle said "my Gomie and my MOM."

Hi Daddy...
i-phone rings, Pickle slides the bar over. "Hi Daddy. I naked. I spill all over. ACTUALLY, it stopped raining. No playing games. I hang out with Dessa. Yeah Daddy. What doing Daddy? I love you Daddy. I miss you Daddy"

This is the quote I keep repeating in my head. Our house has been on the market for 6 weeks and we have only had ONE showing.
I just wanna leave my dirty underwear laying on the floor when I leave the house.
