Jordi Said It

The other evening, Jordi's cousin Emily was spending some time over at our house. Emily hadn't had dinner yet, so, at her request, Chris drove through and got her a Happy Meal. Jordi loves it whenever she's around, and even though Emily wasn't feeling so great, they had a nice visit. OK, that's the background for the short discussion we had while cleaning up after Emily left...

"Mommy, is that from Emily's Happy Meal?"
"Yes."
"I like Happy Meals..."
"I know you do, because they taste good!"
"... but I don't like Sad Meals."

That gave Chris & me a big smile, to say the least!

It's been so hot lately that I thought Jordi would enjoy a nice, cool bath before bed last night. Afterwards, while she was saying good night to Daddy, she requested to put on her nightgown. I told her that she wasn't going to wear one, since it was so warm upstairs. This wasn't OK with her, and she started to get a bit upset at the idea of sleeping without a nightgown on. Chris tried to reassure her that not wearing a nightgown is alright because "that's what all the cool kids do." Jordi is a thoughtful child, and she did mull this over for a minute. This was her reply: "Well... but the WARM kids do wear nightgowns." Touche! We got a big kick out of this comment, and when Chris asked her to confirm whether she was a "cool kid" or a "warm kid," Jordi replied, very confidently, that she was indeed a warm kid!
