A ‘Conversation’ With Sadie

This was my Sunday afternoon conversation with Sadie:

Me: “Hey Sadie! You want to have a little interview and practice your tricks?”

(Sadie’s thought: Well, I had some plans to torment Shadow,
but I guess I could squeeze you in.)

Me: “Okay, I’ll take that as a ‘yes’!”

Me: “First question – how old are you?”

(Sadie’s thought: Let’s see….how old was I again?)

Me: “No silly! You’re not three; you’re only one, remember? Did you forget?”

(Sadie’s thought: I could have sworn I was three!)

Me: “Let’s try an easier one….Sadie, where’s your elbow?”

(Sadie’s thought: Elbow, elbow, elbow….oh ya, isn’t that over here?)

Me: “Good job! Hey Sade, I forget, how old are you today, again?”

(Sadie’s thought: This lady can be so forgetful sometimes!
Doesn’t she know I’m four??)

Me: “You’re four now!!! Wow – that’s funny, I thought you were only one.”

Me: “Where’s your belly button.”

(Sadie’s thought: I hate it when she puts me in these frilly dresses!)

Me: “Having trouble finding it? That’s okay! What about your nose? Can you find your nose?”

(Sadie’s thought: I know that’s around here somewhere!)

Me: “Actually, those are you toes, not your nose. But, close, really close!”

Me: “What about your Flexor digitorum superficialis…where’s that?”

(Sadie’s thought: The WHAT??)

Me: “Just kidding!”

(Sadie’s thought: Not so funny Mom!)

Me: “Last question…you want to go eat Oreos with peanut butter before Dad comes home? It’ll be our little secret!”

(Sadie’s thought: I love my mom!)

Me: “Love you too Sadie!”
