Bedtime
"Mommy, I want to whisper something in your ear." (We are alone.)
"Yes, Lilly."
"I don't sleep at night." She waits for a reaction.
"Really," I say, "What do you do?"
"Play." she responds. I am not surprised.
The Truth Hurts
"Papa, why didn't you take a shower today?"
"I did take a shower, Lilly. What makes you think I didn't?"
"Your wrinkles are still on."
Prayers
Kneeling by Lilly's bed, I said "amen" to our nightly prayer and asked Lilly if she wanted to pray.
"No, Mom," she said, "I only pray on Fridays."
Lilly, Lilly! Love that Lilly!
