Carla’s been sick a lot lately, and I have had to go to work anyway. She’s been sick but not so sick that I feel she really required me to stay home. Of course, she would prefer to have her momma at all times when she’s feeling crappy, but anyway, she has been able to manage pretty well without me. (Cammy is taking good care of her for me!)

So to help Carla with the whole lack-of-momma thing, we wrote my cell phone number down for her so that she can call me if she wants to.

Sometimes I just don’t hear my phone, so she leaves a message. Here are two examples, VERBATIM.

“Hey Mom, I’m just calling to let you know that Annie tried to cut my hair just now. So when you get home, I sure hope you will give her one of those Talkings To and make her NOT cut my hair? Ok. Thanks. I love you. Bye.”

“Hi Mom, this is Carla. It’s already 6:47 and I thought you were supposed to be home. That’s all I wanted to say. Bye, Luv Ya.”

She knocks my socks off!
