Miss Personality

E. asks good questions. Little things like, "Is Jesus the son of God?" and "How do shrimp swim?" and "What does Personality mean?" Oh.....how does one answer this? I told her I didn't think Jesus was the son of God. She said she did. I told her that that was fine. I don't really think it is fine, but it sounded like the right thing to say. I told her how shrimp swim.

I told her personality were all those things that make us different from other people.

Blank stare.

"It is what makes us like the stuff we like. Like, I'm out-going. I like having people around. And your other mother is quiet."

Ellie thought a minute and said, "I have a play-date personality. Is that right Mama?"

"Yes, sweatheart. You have a play-date personality"
