Pippi: "Mama?"
Me: "Yes, Pip?"
P: "Tonight? At the stadium football game?" [I'm guessing she adds the "stadium" to distinguish it from "arena football" or "in-the-backyard football."]
M: "Uh-huh?"
P: "The walking banana... was wearing a necktie!" [giggling as she remembers the man who walked past us in the stadium wearing a full banana costume]
M: "Yes, he was -- that was silly."
P: "I'm going to tell all my friends at preschool!"
M: "They will think you're hilarious, Pip."
P: "What if there was a walking carrot? And a walking strawberry? And a..." [more giggling]
M: [trying not to laugh] "Okay, time to be quiet and go to sleep."
P: "Mama?"
M: "Yes, honey?"
P: "I'm a goof ball. If anybody needs a goof ball, they can call me at my phone number. It is nine-zero-eight." [still more giggling]
M: [shaking my head in wonder] "Good to know, Pip."
So sweet! We did our first football game at the Georgia Dome a few weeks ago and my poor girl cried and covered her ears, the noise freaked her out. so we sat in the club level lounge and watched the game on TV. Just this past weekend she asked "when are we going to a football game again?" What? She hated it. She's a nut!
