The great differences between my two eldest children were, once again, made very clear to me yesterday as we were eating lunch.
Lily: "Is this jelly on here? It is jelly? Mmm, I like jelly! This is special jelly! Is it honey? No, it's not? It's jelly? I like jelly!"
Malachi: (chew, chew)
Lily: "Yum! This is tasty! I like this! Look, Mommy I'm eating very quickly! Am I eating quickly? I am? Yeah, I'm eating quickly! Look, I'm eating very fast! I am? Yeah, I'm eating lunch very fast! I like special jelly!"
Malachi: (chew, chew)
Lily: When I'm done I'll get a snack? I will? Yeah, when I'm done eating I'll get a snack! I'm eating very quickly. I like this! This is special jelly!"
Malachi: (chew, chew)
Well, at least they come by it honestly.

I sure hope Carrie sees this and maybe she will understand a little more why I am not the biggest talker in the world.
Woohoo! I have a genetic excuse for being quiet. I now scoff at those who persecute me for being shy and untalkative.
