I love a child’s literal understanding of words. Case in point: Today Olivia overheard someone tell me he was going to go home and heat up some spaghetti because “for a little redneck chicky, [name deleted for the sake of propriety] was a damn good cook”.
“She should put some honey on it,” commented Olivia.
“I don’t think that would taste very good,” I told her.
“No, on her red neck. To make it feel better,” she explained.
I didn’t even try to tell her what he meant. Some things are better left unsaid.

Thank you, everyone. I never know where conversations with Olivia will go…now that all the adults in the house are working, we have had several restaurant meals in the last couple of weeks. Tonight Olivia and her mom were talking about it, and Olivia said, “I love being rich!”
I love viewing life from her perspective. – Fawn
