Last Night, Marlee was helping me change Ava's diaper - one of her favorite things to help with (and of course bath time...) Keenan was complimenting Marlee on how much of a helper she is. Then he asked "Marlee, when you grow up are you going to be a nurse?" Marlee thought on this a moment, then responded "No Dad, I don't have big b* o *s, I have little b*o *s, I can not be a nurse." And she said this so mater - of - fact, it was SO hard not to laugh!
Well, it is what she see' s me do with Ava several times a day, nurse her...
who came up with the English language anyway!?!?
