Those Few Words Can Say a Lot

Our little Maria doesn't say many words yet, but what she does say is priceless...

Tonight as I am putting her in her highchair with a bowl of little hot dog pieces (you noticed I said, "little", I AM the mother of eight children ya know , no choking on my watch please)...ok, I digress

Anyway, as I am putting her in her chair...Daisy, the mutt is hovering very closely to the chair, and Maria is ever so generously sharing her meal. I can't stand for that, sooo with a slight tap of my heel, I let the dog know that she is indeed a DOG and not a human and to get outta here!

As I turn back to finish the meal prep for the other kiddos, here is what I hear:

"Mere, Dee Dee"...and of course, Daisy is cautiously meandering back to her rightful place beside the highchair, as Maria is tossing a piece of her dinner.

As I move toward them both, Maria says, "UH-OH DeeDee, Mama"

You're darn right, it's mama, and you better go eat your own kibbles, DOG!
