Disclaimer: I wrote this quite a few days ago and meant to post it, but then I got an uneasy feeling and asked The Daddy to proof read it first. He promptly declared that it made no sense whatsoever and what was I thinking. Once I had finished yelling at him for being so rude, not reading properly and all manner of other failings, I rewrote it, but I have to admit that it is still downright confusing.

Never mind. The days are passing and the Time Fairy still has not made an appearance to grant me the Gift of More Time, which means that another blog post will not be forthcoming in the near future. So I figured I would just post this anyway. Someone, somewhere might make sense of it. The key is to remember that Baby Sister speaks Native Texan, while her poor mother sounds more like Peter Jackson on helium ***.

You probably had to be there. Sigh. But look up! I did include a pretty picture!

**************************************************************************************************************

Baby Sister: “Mommy, the library at school is where they get the books for all the centers in the classroom”

The Mommy: “(OMG, what are they teaching her at school?) The sinners? It’s where they get the books for the sinners?”

Baby Sister: “No Mommy, they get the books from the library and put them in the centers in each classroom!”

The Mommy: ” The? Oh! They get the library books and put them in the centers!”

Baby Sister: “No! The centers! The centers!”

The Mommy: “You mean the senners? Mommy says centers, and you says senners. Right?”

Baby Sister: “Mommy! You’re saying it all wrong! I don’t mean that! You have to listen!”

The Mommy: “Sinners”

Baby Sister: “No!”

The Mommy: “Senners”

Baby Sister: “No!”

The Mommy: “Sennnnerrrrs”

Baby Sister: “No! No! No!”

The Mommy: “Saynnnnerrrrrs? Seeernnerrrs? ”

Baby Sister: “Yes, Mommy! That’s right! They put them in the centers!”

The Mommy: “That’s what I said. They take the books and put them in the centers.

Baby Sister: ” No Mommy! Centers! Santa is the man what comes at Christmas!”
