So Friendly

DADDY: On the night when your little sister Poema came home from the hospital, I took you out for Daddy/Daughter date night. You really needed some Daddy time after Mommy and Daddy were away from you for a day and a half in the hospital. Gmomo, Guffaw, Papa, and Nana were all watching you and you were sleeping at their houses, but that wasn't enough...you were missing us.

So we drove through at Taco Bell and took our food to Denny's to eat. The good people there let us eat our take-out tacos at one of their booths. Then we ate your first banana split, which you loved (and got a tad bit hyper from).

During our meal, you turned around to talk to a cute older woman who didn't speak much English.

"Hello. My name is Sarah. What's your name?"
Nothing.
"Hello. My name is Sarah. What's your name?"
"So friendly," the woman said.
"I had a baby today. Her name is Poema Rachel."
Quirky smile from the lady.
Then you turned back around and ate some more taco.

But the conversation was so cute. It was the outpouring of your excited heart to a lady you'd never met. And...the lady didn't know what to do with a 2-year-old who was starting a conversation with her. Someday, people will learn they can have conversations with little kids. :)
