Sally is a dumpling. The world is her oyster and she just loves a good visit. (Note: I can’t understand Sally speech most of the time. She gets excited, talks fast and doesn’t say her /s/ sound unless prompted by her mother.) But, she got the Malloy gene for talking and getting along with people. I am one of the members of her fan club.
I remember my own mother coming to Georgia to visit and saying, “I know why God gives children to young people.” Yes, I am resting today. Laughing. AND thinking the same thing my mother said!
In the past 24 hours, the following quotes came out of my tiny dancer’s mouth:
1. Hey, Nana, do you have You Tuber on your phone?
2. It’s the chocolate milk that makes a great lunch.
3. I just love a pink lipstick.
4. The kitty is resting up in the big bed. Get ready. He eats toes.
5. Now, what shall we do.
6. Let’s get Uncle Dan involved.
7. You be the patient. I’m going to write your diagnosis.
8. Don’t you just love new underpants?
9. Can you say your alphabet? Do you know it?
10. You stay here. My teacher doesn’t need to know my momma didn’t bring me to dance class today.
11. I need to borrow a glass of water to take outside. (Said in very clean, clean clothes and a twinkle in her eye)
12. Let’s go to your house and eat pot pies.
13. If we pretend it’s Christmas, you can hide the presents and I’ll be the little girl that finds them.
14. Girl Scout Cookies? Alright, but I don’t like Thin Mints.
15. What will we do if mommy doesn’t come back?
16. Daddy said I couldn’t talk to you until you opened your eyes. (I woke to find a sweet face staring at me.)
17. Watch out. Watch out. Here come the unicorns!
Molly needs to keep this column for when Sally gets older and can appreciate her own wisdom.
