• Littleloudone goes to 11

  We’ve got a birthday over here.  My baby, Littleloudone, is now 11.  And I think it’s all quirky and stuff that she is 11 on 12/21/2011.  It’s numerically entertaining.  She’s all kinds of entertaining.  She has a funny way of looking at things.  And I never know what wild thing is going to come out of her mouth.  Occasionally, it’s something appropriate.  Oh golly.  I just remembered a couple years ago at a huge family Thanksgiving, she repeated my favorite curse of the time, which maybe I oughtn’t pass along here. (sonuvascumsuckingturdlicker)  I about crawled under the table.  Where I belonged, of course.  When she was a toddler, into everything and trying desperately to cause herself permanent harm, we had an alarm system- the older sister would say LLO alert (which of course sounds better with her real name).  LLO eventually learned to give herself away when she was headed where she didn’t belong.  Oh, here’s another.  Spouse was mowing the grass and LLO wanted to talk to him.  He turned off the mower and she said “Daddy, the lawn miller is loud and stinky!”  He said, “just like daddy.”  She clarified, “Daddy, you’re not loud!”  Oh.  and my personal favorite:  “Daddy, you are my Whole World…. but Mommy’s better.”

  

  For her birthday, she told me she wanted dinner and red velvet cake.  Why does she want red velvet cake? 

  

  I know what I’ll be doing tonight.  She got a new Wii game (egads like we needed more screen junk).  But it’s the dance game with California Gurls and Take On Me. 

  Anyhow.  Happy birthday to the loudest, most amusing critter in my house.  I’m so glad that the teenage years are looming, because we need just a few more mood swings in this house.

  (I’m hopeful at some point this week that I will be capable of stringing together more than a sentence at a time.)
