Conversations with Daddy

Chris wrote this down from his time with Anna this morning:

Anna: (with blanket on her head) Go under with me?

Chris: Okay! (ducks under blanket)

Anna: We're a ghost!

Chris: A ghost with two heads?

Anna: Yeah.

Chris: Are we scary?

Anna: (grinning) Yeah!

Chris: You're not scary - you're cute!

Anna: (indignantly) No, I'm scary!

Chris: Okay, I'm scared.

Anna: Yeah, me too. (pause) Let's go out.


All made 100x cuter by the fact that our noses were inches from touching the whole time :-)


Earlier, after giving me a THOROUGH inspection using all of her other doctor kit tools, Anna decided it was time to take my temperature.


Chris: Does that go in my ear?

Anna: (holding thermometer; grinning) No, in your bottom!

Chris: No, that kind of thermometer only goes in your ear.

Anna: (putting thermometer in my ear) Gotta push the button (furrows her brow as she inspects the temperature, then nods in confirmation of her reading).

Chris: That was scary!

Anna: Oh, it's okay! (climbs into my lap and gives me a LOOOONG hug with pat-pats)

Chris: (melt)
