I wish I could write everything she says. She is a little chatterbox – she adds drama to anything and everything. She is my little drama queen. She has something to say about everything. She means what she says and it is no longer the innocent talk. It is grown up speak. It stops me. It baffles me. It scares me. It fills my days and nights.

I wish she would never change. I want her to talk nineteen to a dozen and fill in the gaps.

Here are some snippets

*********************

Her: Mommy and me are like Tom and Jerry. We love each other and we also fight all the time

I have no comments to add.

********************

Her: The house is very peaceful today

Me: Do you even know what peaceful means?

Her: It means quiet and calm mommy. Did you not know it?

*********************

We met someone who lives in one of the cold corners of North America – a place where you see more snow days than summer days. Kuttyma is a little obsessed with snow (she has never experienced snow)

Me: Kuttyma, do you know there is a lot of snow where they live? Did you ask them about it?

Her: Oh I love snow (she gushes and then asks) do you live in igloos or do you have a home like me?
