Courtney and her latest comment

Courtney has started putting very cute voice inflections on all of her conversations. Everything ends like she is asking a question, but she is actually telling you something. I'm not sure how to describe it except to say that she starts at one pitch and ends on a much higher pitch by the end of the statement. If you don't understand...I'll demonstrate for you. Just ask.

Today, with her cute inflection, she said, "Mom. Guess what? Teeth get loose and fall out and then a gold tooth comes in and takes its place." I, of course, laughed. She, of course, burst into tears because she doesn't like to be laughed at. I tried to explain that she was so cute that I couldn't help it. She tried to explain that she saw a kid at Kid's Court that had a gold tooth. I told her that was from a cavity or a crown or something else and that teeth didn't grow in gold.
Kayci then piped in and said, "Only rich people get gold teeth in their mouth. Or sometimes bad guys have gold teeth too."

My kids are soooo smart.

By the way, during the tears Courtney said, "Now you're going to tell everyone that I said that (About the gold teeth)." So please do not mention this story to her. She is very sensitive about these things. I just don't want to ever forget these great stories.
