  • Polka Dots are Disgusting

    Last night Sean took the JAK to a high school basketball game, so Ellie and I had some time for some extended coodling and silliness...

    Ellie: I love Momma and Daddy.

    Mom: We love you too, sweetie!

    Ellie: The kids are disgusting.

    Mom:  What?  Ellie!  Your brothers and sister love you very much!

    Ellie:  Well, Andy is disgusting.  He has polka dots all over and they are disgusting.

    Mom: (recalling a little rash Andy had recently during an illness): Well, honey, those dots went away when he got better.

    Ellie: No, Mom!  HERE! (points to her face)

    Mom: You mean his freckles?

    Ellie: (nodding soberly) Yes.  They are disgusting.

    Mom: Oh, no, honey, freckles are cute! You know, Katie has freckles, too.

    Ellie:  (gasps)

    Mom: And I have some freckles, and Daddy has some, and you'll probably have freckles, too.

    Ellie: (rolls back her sleeve and points to a single, solitary freckle on her arm)  Don't tell Andy that I've got one.
