"If That Was Austin..."

The night before last I was coloring with Ellie and had Days of Our Lives on in the background. I DVR Days every day. Not real sure why... it is the stupidest show, but I have been watching since I was little and like to keep up with it. Anyway, on the show, Phillip got shot and his girlfriend Stephanie was crying hysterically about how he had to be okay.

I didn't think Ellie was paying a bit of attention the the crazy show when she looked up at me and said in the most serious tone, "That poor girl. Mommy, if Austin was hurt like that, I would cry just like her. I would cry and cry all day long." I assured her and that it was just TV and that the guy was fine AND more importantly that something like that would not happen to her Austin!!!

It cracked us up that she related the show to her own life that way. She is
so funny!
