So today Bella and I came to my parent’s house to relax for a few days while Andy is on a ski trip in Colorado. When the grandkids are at Beba and Poppa’s house, the toy basket in the corner is like a treasure chest full of old and new things that Beba is so good at keeping around. Bella’s first toy of choice today was a small purse that was probably my Mom’s 30 years ago. Inside was a tiny wallet that Beba made back in the day when she had her very busy Homespun Memories business that created clothing, purses and lots of house hold decorations and toured the craft show circut for years. That Mother of mine is quite creative I tell ya!
So in the wallet were 2 pictures and a business card. One picture was of Caleb and Robbie the night of their engagement party, sitting on my parent’s fireplace at our home back in Edmond, Oklahoma. The other picture was my senior picture…here is what happened.
Bella: Mom, dat one is Uncle Bubba and Wobbie.
Me: Yep.
Bella: But Momma, who is in dis one?
Me: Bella, who do you think that is?
Bella: Me?
Me: Nope.
Bella: Mimi?
Me: Nope.
Bella: Um….one of you fwiends?
Me: No Baby…That’s me. That’s your Momma.
She Pauses…Then looks at me with a questioning look on her face…
Bella: Oh, You mean when you were somebody else?
Awesome.

Bella: Yes I did. An you know what else I luned (learned) Momma?
Me: What baby?
Bella: I luned dat I can jus call Jesus and he can make me feew betta all da time.
Me: Yes Bella. That’s right.
Bella: Momma, can I climb up on my table and jump off of it?
Me: No Bella, you can’t climb up on your table and jump off of it. You might hurt yourself.
She pauses…Then looks up at the ceiling and yells
Bella: Jeeeeeeesuuuuuuuus…..JEEEEEEEEESUUUUUUUUUUS. I’m wite hew! I wanna climb up on my table and jump off of it Jesus! My Momma said no to me Jesus! Can I jump off of my table please!!
She pauses again and then looks at me…
Bella: Jesus said I can climb up on my table and jump off it Momma.
Me: Oh he did huh? Well I didn’t hear him.
Bella: He whispered Momma.
Me: Whatever Bella. No jumping.
Bella: Shhhhh, you can’t say dat to me now. Jesus is sleeping now. So don’t say anyheen else to me. He needs some west.
