Come look at this.

If I do my chores.
If I do good on a test.

Not a lot, if the house is REALLY messy.

“She … is older, forgets easier.”
Oh. My. Gods. Kate is a riot. (Or, as Chris says, a pistol loaded with your ammo.)
Oh, and I feel your pain on that score, sista. Now, what was I doing…?

The day you forget where your glasses are and then you find out they’re on your head, I’m going to laugh.
And then I’m going to forget.
I’m personally not far from forgetting my glasses are on my head. I’m just waiting for that day to happen. I will roll my eyes at myself, laugh, and also forget.

Oh yes, this is another slice of really cute and awesome. It’s great that Kate knows you so well, it speaks really highly of your relationship with each other.

Buttercup??? How cool is that?
I’m going to steal this and put it on my Facebook. I think my niece would love to see my take on her gramma.
