She doesn’t do this anymore, so before I forget that she ever did, I want to get it written down. She used to do it a lot. I hope I haven’t already posted this?? Does it sound familiar? I think I was thinking of posting it, but never did…so here goes.

Lydia (in an excited tone of voice) - I have an idea!!!
Me (or anyone, matching her excitment) - You do?? What is it??
Lydia - um, sixty-three!
Me - WOW, that’s a GREAT IDEA!
