Meet My Angela

May 20, 2011 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Keeping It Real, Minnesota Me, My Girls 13 Comments

She’s an imp.

Angie Girl

Perhaps you recall her from previous posts?

Like her “Revelation.”

Or “What She Said.”

Or perhaps her infamous “Like a pig” remark.

Look again—closely—at the above photo. See the dimple? See the glint?

That’s my girl.

She keeps me young.

She keeps me young by driving me to drink.

Kidding!

Kind of.

I do need coffee to keep up with her, though, and that (as you know) is a well-worn subject. And anyway, it’s Friday and you’re busy making plans for the weekend or are watching The Greatest Marriage Proposal EVER! for the third time or…

Whatever. It’s a quick quick story I want to share and you don’t even have to comment. THAT’S how much I respect your Friday.

I was just settling in to nurse George before his nap and Angela, with the above glint in her eye, said, “Georgie, want to watch PBS Kids?”

George pulled off the breast with an audible “Schlorp!” and said “Huh?”

Just like Angela knew he would.

“Angela,” I sighed. “Go to your room.”

“What did I do?!” She lingered in disbelief at the foot of the stairs. “Was I bad? Was I horrible? Was I wicked?”

Okay, so, the fact that I’m laughing means no, you were not.

How does she do it?

    LOL! Oh, this is too funny! I think I'm laughing because she reminds me of my 7yr. old daughter. That is so something she would do.

    …the imagery is perfect, Margaret. 😉 Thank you.

    Wow, that was a great marriage proposal!

    Angela has grown up so much this past year though, she is beautiful and that attitude will take her so very far in life!

    I've got one of those. Her name is Lucy.

    My one friend says, "She looks like an angel…..and then she opens her mouth."

    Way too smart for her own good….or mine…

    I know a little "Angela" at my youngest son's school. She makes her teacher insane. But she is as sweet and funny and smart as she can be.

    I also know this little girl's grandmother, who told me one day that she's not worried about "Angela" because one of her daughters was just like her grandchild–and she grew up to be one of the kindest people you could know. Very energetic, and puts that to good use serving others in amazing ways.

    Your Angela and all the other "Angelas" of the world are really what this world needs! They just need to grow into their potential.

    An audible schlorp? Best description I have even heard.

    God bless your beautiful “Angela.” What a blessing to have these stories written down.

    I love you, and I am praying for you in all my prayed. Going to 9 am Mass and will pray for you the whole time.

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. ♥
