A funny/depressing conversation with my daughter

[Guest guest]

This is a the conversation I was having with my 6 year-old as I was putting her

to bed after her grandparents left this weekend:

Eowyn: Grandma's not a very nice person sometimes.

Me: I know, sweetie. *hug*

Eowyn: But Poppa is!

Me: Yes, he is.

Eowyn: Who found each other first? Grandma or Poppa?

Me: Poppa found Grandma first.

Eowyn: Oh. *pause* I wish Poppa had chosen someone else.

Me: You and me both, kiddo.

*sigh* Needless to say, it was a LONG weekend. My mother is generally much

better than she was when I was growing up, but she had a bad spell these past

couple of days. She was on the attack the whole time she was here. And I'm not

feeling well (I suspect I have mono, going to the Dr tomorrow to get it checked

out), so that really didn't help. Luckily she's gone now, and I have two weeks

to recover before they invade again!
