JD is traveling. On Katie’s birthday he was actually at Disney World. Well, he was actually in Orlando for a conference and they just happened to be having some sort of event at Epcot (or so the story goes). So he called early yesterday morning to rub it in wish her Happy Birthday. (Just kidding, honey.)
After I said good morning and chatted for a minute, I asked,
“Would you like to speak to the main girl?”
Why no, I have no idea where that phrase came from.
But I looked around to find my youngest looking at me with an expression very similar to this:

“Main girl?” she said.
As in, “what am I, chopped liver?”
Oops.
Luckily she is a plucky little thing with a self esteem not easily damaged by her mother’s thoughtless remarks. She instead has turned it into a joke.
“Why don’t you get your main girl to do that?”
“Oh, look what the main girl is doing.”
“I’ll have what the main girl is having.”
I love that kid.
You go, Elena! Way to go! Someone said, “a little child shall lead them”. Hmmmm, now who said that?
Love it! Did JD tell Mickey we’re coming to see him?!
He better have!!! Only a few more days!
Hmmm. And who does Elena sound like NOW?
LOL.
I did not see Mickey. I did, however, swing by to see Belle and she is very much looking forward to spending a whole week with us again.
(Just kidding, honey)
Just so you know, 15 yrs from now and probably for the rest of your natural life you will be hearing those words from Elena. Like mother…like daughter.
he he he he! uh um…
