Very funny and adorable! I am apt to agree – about constantly telling time, “Now what’s the point?” 😀

I love this post. I love the Auds!

When Hebe and Alice (now almost as old as God) were tots – three-ish) I had one of those big clock face thingies you can use for teaching them to tell the time, which every day I tried and failed to do.
They must have heard folks saying ‘What’s the time?’. They listened carefully to me saying ‘The BIG hand is POINTING to…’
And one day I came across Alice (they are twins) sitting patiently while Hebe showed her the clock, asking her very seriously: ‘Now – what’s the point?’

A little two year old boy that I babysit finally stopped calling me “Skabana”… It was so sad I almost cried. To try and keep him from correctly pronouncing my name, I referred to myself as “Skabana”… it didn’t work. =(

Really enjoyed reading about the Auds, Julie. Sweet piece. Your short bio on you and Michael from the day before was another good one. Keep ’em coming.

In reply to Christy.

I love those – stummy ache and egg oaks. Did Larry ever tell you he used to say, “There goes the Fire Departney!”? Or that when he was little he said “We’re having turchey for Thanksgiving!” 🙂

I knew not to ever correct these precious ways that children say things. I never hear “stummy ache” or “egg oaks” any more…..I guess because Savannah’s almost 22. 🙁 🙁

I am so excited to come and visit again.
This was so sweet, and I want to spend more time with all these adorable little ones when I come to visit! =D
