Singleminded Sophie

Sunday night when I got home from Virginia, Sophie and Keegan came to spend the night at Mamawland. It wasn't long after they arrived that Jacob had done something to Sophie that definitely needed reported to me - at least in her mind. Our conversation went something like this:

Sophie: tapping me on the leg: Mamaw, Jacob won't

Me: scooping her up: Did you have fun at at church today?

Sophie: Jacob won't

Me: Was Ms. Courtney your teacher?

Sophie: Jacob won't

Me: Was her hair still blonde today? (something she had called to tell me specifically last week)

Sophie: Jacob won't

Me: Did you learn about Zacheaus and Jesus?

Sophie: Jacob won't

Me: I'm so glad you came to visit me tonight. I've been missing you.

Sophie: Jacob won't

Me: Are you going to sleep with me tonight?

At that point Sophie put two little fingers over my lips to shush me and looked at me with those big brown eyes and said quite seriously.....

"I just want to talk about your kid, OK?"
