My hero...

(Pretend I posted this on August 31, 2008, 'cause that's when it happened.)

Today while we were riding home from church, DM and I were talking with BigM and while I forget exactly how it came up, DM said, "Big Mouse, sometimes I want to be just like you."

BigM responded, "You want to be a little girl just like me?"

DM (after he cracked up) replied, "No honey, I don't want to be a little girl, I just meant you do a lot of things and you act in certain ways so that makes me want to be like you. You are sweet, so that makes me want to be sweet, too. Do you understand?"


After pondering that for a second, she said, "Yes, Daddy. You want to be a little girl sometimes?"
