The turd

Luci said to me the other day in her best depressed voice, "Mom, I'm sad that Daniel is a turd." Not knowing where she got that I asked her who said that? She told me I did. Then I realized a conversation we have been having lately. Daniel's name in the neighborhood is "Baby Daniel," even though he is now a toddler. So I told the girls he is not a baby any more, he is a toddler. She remembered it as he is a turd.

This is not far from the truth sometimes though. The other day I gave him a 1/2 of a graham cracker. He ate it and asked, in his own little grunts, for more. I gave him a 1/4 the second time. He threw it on the floor and asked for more. He wasn't happy until I gave him 1/2. So I'm assuming he prefers squares over rectangles.

(By the way how do you spell turd?)

That's too funny. And, yes, you spelled it right. We should know - it's a word used quite regularly around here. =)
