On Monday night, Emmeline dropped the Rudolph snowglobe ornament we bought her, and it rolled under the big stuffed chair in our living room. I was in the kitchen at the time, and heard her crying like I haven't in quite a while--one of those full-on fear cries. I ran into the living room, found her stuck prone under the chair, and helped her get out. She wasn't hurt--just scared as hell.
Anyway, the next morning on the way to school, we had the following conversation.
E: Mommies are great people. They help you get out from under chairs when you're stuck.
Me: Yep, Mommies do help you get out from under chairs. What else do Mommies do?
E: Mommies wash dishes, and they read books to you, and sometimes they let you have treats.
Me: That's right. And what do Daddies do?
E: Daddies read the paper and drink coffee.
From the mouths of babes....
