It’s generally accepted amongst my real life friends that given the opportunity to think of a snappy comeback when faced with a snarky comment that I will fail miserable. I will sit slack jawed and red cheeked before I think of something to say or what I do think to say with be just a little too bitey for the situation, so I tend to stick with option A.
At 4 Evey has managed to avoid this personality flaw and is already quite the quick and humorous thinker. Case in point a conversation between Chris and Evey at Banana Bread (aka Atalanta Bread) last night.
Evey: I really love cheese pizza. It’s so yummy.
Chris: That’s good. I like pepperoni.
Evey: I really LOVE cheese. Pepperoni is EW.
Chris: If you love cheese so much why don’t you marry it.*
Evey: If I marry the cheese and we have a cheese wedding the pepperoni can be the petals. (As in flower petals because 4 year-olds dream of being flower girls forever.)
After I giggled for an immeasurable amount of time I sat there immensely jealous because I never would have thought to say that.
Now a little Wordless Wednesday that is completely unrelated…
This weeks work in progress.
* Chris…. luv you.

And WOW, I can tell I am going to love your new picture
Evey IS hilarious. She cracks me up daily!
I don’t know what’s funnier — “If you love cheese so much why don’t you marry it,” or Evey’s comment!
Your new drawing is AMAZING — I can’t believe the detail! That hand — those keys! This is really beautiful.
