I present to you:
More Proof that My Oldest Daughter is Truly My Child
Exhibit A
At dinner, I went straight for the vegetables on my plate. They were my favorite part of the meal. When my daughter scooped into the pot for her third helping of vegetables, she lamented, “Oh, man. They’re almost gone!”
and
Exhibit B
I was listening to one of my all-time favorite songs, Unthought Known, when Daughter (don’t call me that–bonus points if you get the reference) wandered over and said, “I like this song. It attracted me the way an introductory paragraph should.”
Ah, my darling nerd. How I love you.

Wow. Now if your husband and second daughter go after the veggies slowly…maybe it is because if they wait long enough, there will not be any left. Darn. 😉

I may make a writer of her yet. She normally hates writing, but last week, when she had to write a report, she told me that once she got started, she realized it was actually kind of fun. She even went so far as to put off writing her concluding paragraph until the next morning because, “She wanted to save some for tomorrow.” Then I saw her indeed doing it first thing, while still in her bed in pajamas! She’s a wonder.

You never know about these things. Frequently we’ll go thru periods of imitating some facet or facets of our parents, and then periods of the opposite, and you never know what order those periods will come in. When I was 5 YO, I would write “MD” after my name.

Really, she was upset over veggies? My boys eat grape tomatoes and that’s it from the veggie family.

Which is technically a fruit, but anyway. Ironically, she doesn’t like tomatoes.

Well, one of them does anyway. The other two tolerate them, at least.

Um, hello 90s grunge Pearl Jam song… of course I got the reference 😉 And that is adorable. A vegetable-eating, paragraph-introducing daughter? Awesome.
