Kate on Evolution

"Mom," she said, "You know we don't start out as babies."
"Is that so?" I reply.
"Yeah, we start out as mermaids."
********
Same car ride, 5 minutes later...
"Mom, is Grandma Ellie your grandma too?"
"No, Grandma Ellie is my mom."
"Grandma Ellie is a nice grandma. Grandma Go-go is a nice grandma."
"Someday, Kate, when you have a baby, I'll be that baby's grandma."
"You might be a nice grandma."
"Might be? What are my odds- like 50/50?"
"Yeah."

Dear Becca, Thanks for keeping us up to date. I'm so sorry about your basement. When its all done and back to brand new, a little part of you might be happy! As far as your movie review, thanks for saving me $16.00. And, it was so fun going to lunch with you and Kate last Saturday. Love you. Auntie R
