Two reasons I may keep my girl even as teenagerdom looms.

* Last weekend we were helping the elf bomit Christmas over the hallway, Princess Curly-Wurly was in charge of thumbtack distribution. After several minutes she looked up at me and said
" Ha! I know who I am now." (really? I had no idea there was an existential crisis happening in your young mind. And why is that funny?)
Holding the tinsel in place with one hand I stretched out the other for a tack.
"Oh and who are you?"
Grinning she passed me a pin and said "I'm P-Dub Pin Laden!"

*Friday morning after the alarm went off too early Princess Curly-Wurly, along with my assistant, climbed into our bed. We lay there all warm and snuggled against the bitter cold outside, listening to the radio news. After a few minutes she turned to me and said
"You know what this B.A. strike really is don't you?"
"oh go on, do tell."
"It is the 12 Days OFF Christmas!!"

  7. With a wit as sharp and funny as that there's no doubting who her fab mum is! Dotty Locket comes out with some funnies too - and like you, it makes me think I may keep her a bit longer after all!
