you are not my mudder


this morning, one funny and one beautiful thing came out of little's mouth:

she sleeps with me, so the first thing this morning, she opens her eyes, smiles and says, "thank you for being my mama, mama."
i wanted to cry.
she says the sweetest things all of the time. i've always said she has an old soul. she is such a diplomat. she does not like inequality. she wants everyone around her to be happy, and has a keen sense when someone is down or emitting sad/mad/blah vibes - she just comes up to give a big hug. my god i love that little girl!

now the funny thing:
mama, how come we don't have a mudder in our house?
what? aren't i the mother?
(laughing) you silly mama! you're the mama, the mommy, not the MUDDER!
(and she walks off laughing!)

what's a ho?

one day, titter and little were at my parents and my mom was getting ready for some fancy shindig. titter was "helping" nonni get ready and nonni asked her:
hita, can you hand me my hose?
ok nonni. but, what's a ho?

from this point on, we refer to them as nylons. not hose. it's all a matter of semantics.

my bestie from the westie

was here over christmas, i think? it seems like yesterday, and when i look back, i can't believe we're already in the middle of february! anyhoo, she was here for three weeks and because i was sick, i didn't get to see her but a small handful of times (like twice). the one day we had, we had a blast: massages, steams, and saunas at la bella; followed by a great soup and salad lunch at...somewhere, i can't remember; and whirlwind shopping at white house/black market, and somewhere else, maybe. i suppose the massage got the best of me, i still can't remember the day!

here is a quick click. it looks like we were nekky and in bed, but we were dressed in our massagey towels relaxing and ridding our bodies of toxins.
