You may recall the story where my sister Kate saved the life of the priest who performed the funeral for her husband's grandfather (via mouth to mouth, on sacred ground, getting herself that free pass into heaven, once again one-upping me)? Well, come to learn this weekend that the her husband's family was talking about the incident in Sarah's presence and Sarah, who is 3 going on 30 apparently, shook her head and chimed in rather grimly with, "He was dead, dead, dead."
Yeah, Sar, he was a goner. Kate, of course, corrected her that Priest Guy was still very much alive.
A few weeks ago we had a baby shower for my sister, Em.
I managed to document my first Cake Bust. My mom was The Fuzz, The Heat, The Five-Oh...
Sarah had been scoping out the scene, Operation Cake Table, the moment the lid was lifted off the cake.
At approximately 14:15, my mother came onto the scene to find the suspect, female Caucasian, appox. 35 lbs, 36", 3 years of age, with blond hair and blue eyes in a pink and white checked blazer, standing suspiciously close to the Baby Cake.
Exhibit A:
"Um, nothing to see here, lady....nothing....at...all....just, uh, looking for my Barbie.....(thinking, "do not make eye contact. do not make eye contact and she will go away.").
Exhibit B:
"Oh, you were speaking to me?? Oh, I LOVE your skirt. Just adorable...where did you get that? Talbot's? .......This finger? The pointer? With the frosting? Oh that one. Oh, well, yeah, heh, I could see why you might think that that finger swipe was mine, but um,....listen, you're not gonna tell my mom about this? I mean, she doesn't REALLY need to know? Right? Just between us girls? "
THAT is funny. The two pictures together tell an incredible story. Sarah sounds like she's something else. :-)
