Out of the mouths of babes...

Over the last two weeks my daughter Ellie has received cards from her great-grandmother, one for her birthday and the other for Christmas. Each of those cards had been taped shut (to make sure that the card can't escape :) ). Well, Ellie has had trouble opening cards from Great Grandma in the past, and this card was especially taped well. She was getting really frustrated in trying to open it, and had a conversation with her mom about it.
  • [Ellie] Mom, does Great Grandma have a tongue?
  • [Sarah] Yes, why do you ask? (Sarah scratching her head wondering why such a question would come from Ellie)
  • [Ellie] Well, why doesn't she use it to lick the envelope then? (as she is holding the envelope up to her mouth demonstrating how licking works)
I am still laughing...
