Epiphany
Crystal: My great aunt Ora Mae passed away. My mom asked if I remembered her, and I was like 'No, I don't remember no Ora Mae.'
Me: Sounds like some crinkle fries.
Crystal: *laughs* I hate you.
Me: Oooh.. Wait. I know why the crinkle fries brand is called Ore-Ida. It's made from Oregon and Idaho potatoes!
Crystal: Wow at your epiphany.

Natural Beauty...?
Jordyn: Mama, why do you wear make-up?
Me: Because I want to.
Jordyn: But you tell me I don't need to wear it because I have natural beauty. You have natural beauty too. You don't need to wear make-up either, Mom.
Me: Aww, thank you baby.
Jordyn: Except for that brown stuff that you put on to make your skin look smooth.
Me: Well the brown stuff is foundation.
Jordyn: You need that. And mascara to make your eyelashes long like mine. But that's it. The brown stuff and mascara, and your natural beauty.
Me: Okaaay.
Jordyn: Oh, and Chapstick. You definitely need that!

Jordyn: Sometimes it's hard being a girl.
Me: Yeah it is, but why do YOU think so?
Jordyn: Like, when a girl is a grown up and she wants to get married, she has to WAIT for the boy to ask. That's not fair.
Me: Yeah, I hear ya.

Next time you are faced with an obstacle that you think is too big to overcome, any situational deficit you think is insurmountable, consider this fact…

“Why do parents do that? Tell their first child they’re the best to make...”
– My damn daughter, Jordyn. Where did I get her from?
Me: You're full of shit.
