relationship

Emmersyn has recently become obsessed with people's relationships to one another. She's always saying things like, "You are my mom, and I am your daughter, and Pierce is my brother..." et cetera et cetera.

Yesterday she said this: "I am yuh daw-ta, and you aw my mom, and gwumma is yuh mom, and gwumma is my gwumma, and gwumpa is my gwumpa, and gwumma ida* is my gwumma ida."

And I laughed.

*Grandma Ida is my mom's mom, and since our kids are blessed with sooo many great-grandparents, we tried to simplify it by calling them "Grandma Ida", "Grandpa Mo", etc.
