miss emma rose decided that she wanted to snuggle with me for a couple of minutes. i turned oprah on and they were doing this valentines show. one particular story made me tear up a bit, and emma, who was sitting on my lap, cranks her head up and says "why you doing this?" and she pulls this face that looks like she is going down a big hill on a scary roller coaster. i say "that is a nice story...mom is crying a little because it is really sweet. just like i cried when you were born, because it was so special." she replies, "oh." i think, that was a good lesson on enjoying the things in life that make us happy. she looks back up at me and says...
"you look ugly when you cry."
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY.

i'm laughing so hard i'm crying
That is hilarious and reminds me of a story that happened on Gettysburg when I was about your age. I had just given birth to one of the kids, probably Peter, and dragged myself out to the mailbox (across the street, on YOUR side of the street remember?), and there stood that bratty Steven kid, and I smile at him, and he looks up at me and says, "You're ugly lady."
Oh my word, I am laughing SO hard! I had a funny memory the other day, wasn't it you who used the word, "whiffer"? I was telling Scott about that word the other day and I was cracking up. I am pretty sure that was you
we were at dinner when i read the whiffer comment. i started cracking up b/c i have not thought of that word in like 20 years. too funny.
I'm cracking up! Yes, I believe you made that word up. I haven't thought of that in 20+ years either.
OH! I'm going to be in MI next Tues and Wed. Let's get together, if possible!!! Email me!
