Conversation over a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles

Leta: "Do you know what my middle name is?"

Me: "I do."

Leta: "It's Elise. Leta Elise."

Me: "I think I remember giving you that name."

Leta: "What's your middle name?"

Me: "Brooke."

Leta: "No it's not."

Me: "It's not?"

Leta: "No. It's Heather."

Me: "I thought that was my first name."

Leta: "That's not your first name! Your first name is Mom."

Me: "Mom Heather?"

Leta: "Yes! What's your last name?"

Me: "Same as yours. Armstrong."

Leta: "Nope! It's Daddy's Wife."

Me: "Daddy's Wife? So my full name is Mom Heather Daddy's Wife?"

Leta: "That's what I said."

Me: "This could make filling out applications rather awkward."

Leta: "I'll just call you Mrs. Daddy's Wife."

  • Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
  • Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!
