The other night, as the kids were getting ready for bed, D-D approached me with a very serious question."Mwommy? When awe ewe way-ring yore wedding shews?" (Interpretation: when are you wearing your wedding shoes?)
"Well," I said, "I probably won't wear them again for quite a while. My wedding is over and I can't wear them around the house to pack the lunches!" (Though, thinking about it, maybe I should: those were very pretty shoes and only worn about two times---once for pictures a few days before the wedding and then on the wedding day itself!)
D-D is quiet for a few minutes thinking about this answer. I think that she knows it is not really a good one.
"Mwom..." she says a little later, grabbing my hand, "Ah wheel give ewe a dwollar eef ewe will ware yore shews!!!" (interpretation: I will give you a dollar if you will wear your shoes)
Now, who can resist a bribe like that?!?!!
...
But...
...I wonder where she'll get the dollar from!?
