thanks...i'll be here all week

Abby and I were driving home from an errand today and had the following conversation:

me: what do you want to be for halloween?

a: a chee-leader
me: you do?!

a: i want to be a chee-leader for halloween AND when i grow up!

me: mama was a cheerleader...did you know that?

a: for the football team?

me: yes. mum and grandaddy have movies you can watch where you can see mama as a cheerleader.

a: (starts laughing/giggling so hard - which is one of my absolute favorite sounds - that she almost cries) mama, those are funny words you said.

she had to repeat it FIVE times until i could understand her because she was laughing so hard. i still have no idea why that's funny.

i was a GREAT cheerleader. :)
