Ellie Talk

Laying in bed the other night...
Ellie - "Mommy, you are my very best friend."
Me - "Ellie, you are my best friend too."
Ellie - "You are my best friend all of the time except when you have to spank me."
Me - "Ellie, that doesn't happen very often and when it does, it happens because Mommy and
Daddy have to teach you right from wrong."
Ellie - "Well, I know how to solve that problem. I will quit getting in trouble. You won't have to
ever spank me again, and then we can be best friends all of the time"
Me - "That would be wonderful, Ellie"
Ellie - "No more spankings, no more behavior charts. Everything is going to be great now"

The next night she was in time out by the time we had been home a little less than an hour. :)
Thought that counts, right???

On the way to Morehead to meet my parents...
Ellie - "Daddy, do cows have ears?"
Danny - "Yes, Ellie. You know cows have ears."
Ellie - "Well, do cows talk?"
Danny - "No, Ellie. You know cows don't talk."
Ellie - "Then why do they need ears?"
