I just put the Girl Child to bed and I wanted to record this quickly, before I forgot it. We were going downstairs, after saying good night to her brother, to have some dessert and watch some Yankees baseball and we had the following exchange:

Me: Would you like some pudding?

Her: The green kind?

Me: No, the other one.

Her: The butterscotch?

Me: Yes. [Ed. Note: The sugar free butterscotch jello pudding is like crack for the low carbers. Pure crack, I tell you]

Her: No [long drawn out and contemplative]. I'm into introducing myself to some ice cream.

Me: What did you say?

Her: I'm into introducing myself to some ice cream. I think I'll share with Mamma.

I really had to ask her to repeat herself. I just could not quite believe what she said or how she said it.

4 Frinklin, I couldn't believe it either. That's why I had to ask her to repeat herself. Well, TS, she's young yet and she may grow out of it. Thanks, Jester, you bet I will!

6 She has the right idea. I think we should all introduce ourselves to some ice cream. Then take a nap. That's so *adorable*, Random! Makes my womb clench... :::sighs::: Ya know, nobody warned me that ramping up to menopause meant my womb was going to clench every 5 seconds or so! Nature's way of saying, "The two-minute warning just went off but you still have a chance! GO FOR IT!"

7 Oh, man, she's adorable! And polite... after all, she wants to introduce herself, doesn't she? I hope she doesn't grow out of it all too much!
