Wednesday evening as Audrey, Brooks, and myself were all in the shower together...as we often do to avoid the insanity of the bathtub with them two...I tried to spark a conversation with Audrey, seeing that her and Brooks were getting on each others last nerve!
Lately, I have been asking her: "What am I gonna do when you turn 5?! Are you even gonna want your mommy loving on you since you'll be all grown up?!" Of course, she always has something clever to say, usually something that involves rolling her eyes or flipping her hand out. Anyway, I had called her by one of her pet names (my little one, my sweet baby, etc...) which in turn made me want to ask her again: "Audrey, when you turn 5, are you still gonna be my little girl?!"
Her answer was, and with somewhat of an attitude: "Mom, when you get old and go to Heaven, and when I get old and go to Heaven, and when daddy gets old and goes to Heaven, and when Brooks gets old and goes to Heaven, I'll still be your little girl, and you can still call me 'my sweet baby' or 'little one'".
Well THAT was unexpected, yet almost brought a tear! It never fails, when you're expecting a funny, smart ellic answer, you get the sweetest, most innocent answer ever. Needless to say for the rest of the night, she was my little buddy, and could do no wrong!
Thank you Lord for my little ones!!
