In lieu of the previous post, there goes daddy ever wanting to see the pimples again.

Folding Clothes
Ella just said to Rory (its Sunday morning) -
"If you don't teach me how to fold clothes now, I won't know how to when I grow up and you'll have to take me to a tutor." She promptly followed up her statement with a "real" tooter.

Cheeseburger
We were driving to the hospital last Tuesday (5/30) to hopefully deliver this baby (it didn't happen). We were almost at the stoplight when Ella piped up and said "When I grow up I want to be a Chefes." After we clarified that she wanted to be a Chef, she then said "I want to work with Cheeseburgers, where can I work with Cheeseburgers? Oh yeah, McDonalds!" Anyway, that was her funny in the car.
She was also total hysterical when I was in the labor and delivery room. She kept telling me in her very solemn and wise tone that I was not to worry but that it was going to be "uncomfortable" having a baby. She then proceeded to entertain me by doing the robot dance. She's the funniest kid I know.

4 year old comments regarding Virginia Tech Shootings
On the Tuesday after the VT shootings, Ella and I were listening to CNN on XM when the anchor mentioned Virginia Tech. Ella immediately perked up and said "Mom, that man said Virginia Tech on the radio...why?"
So I said "well, a man was really angry and hurt a lot of people at Tech." She asked me what happened to them. I said that he shot a lot of people and some of them died. She thought for a moment and then became very animated and said "Mom, guns are very bad and people shouldn't use guns because they hurt people." I agreed with her that guns can hurt people and that kids shouldn't play with them. I told her that Mom and Dad have made the choice to not have guns in our house. I did want to take the opportunity, though, to make sure I didn't head too far to the left (even though we are very liberal) and share with her that owning and using guns is a fundamental constitutional right. She's only 4 right now so I don't expect her to remember that nugget!
So, the conversation continued to progress after the gun talk. She said to me "But Mom, doesn't that man know he's going to go to jail?" I was surprised by her comment but said "Yes, honey, he would go to jail but he died." She asked how and I shared that he shot himself. I know that many of you may like to pass judgment on me for being too open with her but we prefer her to know the truth and not avoid it.
After I told her that he shot himself she got very quiet. The next thing she said almost leveled me. She said "Mom, didn't he know that just because you die doesn't mean you get happy?"
