Out of the mouths of babes

Littlest was talking quite excitedly to Mom-mom on the phone today. Full of her usual exuberance and confidence she announced, "I have a very important job on Thanksgiving. I'll probably be too busy to stop and talk."

You see yesterday she peeled the sweet potato for the pea soup and did such a fantastic job I told her she was in charge of the mashed potatoes for this year's Thanksgiving dinner. Last night we went to Walmart and bought some new peelers so we all have our own now.

Oh, if only the rest of us thought peeling potatoes was so important and exciting!
