It's Laughter Lives! Tuesday

Last night as I was tucking the girls into bed Rylee, very seriously, said "Mama, I have a question."

I leaned over her and smoothed her hair back from her face and said "Okay, what is your question?"

"It's a portant question Mama, bery, BERY portant!" she states earnestly as she stares up at me. I wait for her to ask me her question, but she just stares back at me.

"What is it Rylee, what is your question?" I prod her gently, wondering what is going on in that little head of hers tonight.

"Wait a minute - wait Mama!" she says as she taps her forehead with her finger. "Just wait, I have to get my brains out first!"

I choked back the laughter and said "Your brains? Where are you getting them out from?"

She looked at me like I am a complete moron "Well they are BACK HERE (slapping the back of her head), you don't know that Mama? They are back here, and I have to get them and bring them up here (touching her forehead). Then I can ask you my bery portant question!"

"Okay, my brains are ready now... Mama... can you itchy my back?"

I stare at her for a moment "That is your very important question Rylee?"

She answers "Yes Mama - that is my portant question!"
