Destination: Law School

July 26, 2007 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Anecdotal, Minnesota Me 7 Comments

I was drinking one of those funky SoBe “Life” waters you can get by the 15-pack at Sammie’s when Angela came over.

“May I have some juice?” she asked. (She talks like that now. In full sentences. Sometimes it’s cute and sometimes it’s just Too Much.)

“Sure,” I replied, “Although actually it’s water.”

“No, it’s not,” she argued. “It’s juice.”

“No,” I said, and you’ll see here where she gets it, “It’s water.”

“It’s juice!” she insisted, and I realized at this point that I was launching into a full-scale debate with…

…a 2-year-old.

I shrugged and handed it over, saying, “Ah well. You say to-may-to; I say to-mah-to.”

She proceeded to take several swallows of my WATER, keeping one dark little shark eye on me the entire time.

Then handed it back.

And said:

“To-may-to.”

    She is so cute!

    I’m drinking a “dragonfruit” Glaceau Vitamin Water right now (my favorite flavor). I love this stuff. We buy cases of it from Costco.

    My initial reaction was “cute” then…

    I have this dreaded feeling that Princess is just a few months away from being able to throw back this kind of witty remark. How will I possibly keep a serious look on my face and not crack up laughing hysterically?

    LOL! Ah, I love your daughter, and I’ve never even met her.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
