Just Talking.
Piper Finn: Mom, I don’t want to grow up.
Me: Why not?
Piper Finn: Just because. I don’t want to.
Me: Okay. Stay little as long as you would like.
Piper Finn: Mom, I do want to grow up.
Me: Oh. Well that was fast. I hope your other life resolutions last longer.
Blank stare.
Piper Finn: Mom, can you go now?
Me: What? Why?
Piper Finn: So I can grow up now.

your post always remind me of Steel Magnolias…this scene inparticular…because I remember being in the theater and watching the funeral scene and crying and then all of a sudden this scene happens and I cracked up……………Thats how your blog is for me, its so touching and deep and thought provoking and I cry a lot and then you say something adorable one of the kids said and I crack up…..laughter through tears…………..awwwww.
M'Lynn: No! No! No! It's not supposed to happen this way! I'm supposed to go first. I've always been ready to go first! I-I don't think I can take this! I-I don't think I can take this! I-I just wanna *hit* somebody 'til they feel as bad as I do! I just wanna *hit* something! I wanna *hit it hard*!
[continues sobbing]
Clairee: *Here*! [Grabs Ouiser by the shoulder and positions her in front of M'Lynn]
Clairee: *Hit this*! Go ahead M'Lynn, *slap her*!

Hands Down.
My. Favorite. Comment. Ever.
To have my writing compared to Steel Magnolias – what could be better?
Seriously.
Thank you.
If I ever write a book – this will be like my back cover quote.
From my cousin!
Love you!

Emma took the photo – I love her work!
I was so sad to miss our faces on the screen – too much sickness at this house still to escape and be around others! Disappointing!
