Learning the Language

Today Jillian would come up to me jabbering away and end the conversation with "Dang it!" or it might be "Darn it!". I thought that was probably better than the alternative that she may have heard from the workers on her new house addition.

She also showed her smarts today in a new way. We had just delivered Jillian home when she was wandering around her front yard and she broke off an iris that hadn't quite opened up yet so Daddy said "Jillian", frowning and Papa said "Aw, you broke it.". She stopped, looked at me and handed me the flower saying, "Here, Grannie, I picked you a flower", so what could I do but say, "Thank you for being so nice"? It was hard to keep from laughing at her ingenuity.
