The little parrot

Lately Caroline has been trying hard to repeat a lot of what she hears us saying.  Which means we have to be even more aware of what we are saying around her (although the language in our house is pretty much G rated already).

A few evenings ago, I was a little flustered as Caroline was hungry, fussy, and insisting that I hold her while fixing her dinner.  As I was scrambling around the kitchen I stepped on a half-eaten something crunchy under my foot, no doubt dropped by a little person that then went unnoticed.  "Nice!" I said with a lot just a tad bit of sarcasm in my voice.  Immediately Caroline exclaims "Nice!" with the same tone and sarcasm.  I had to laugh out loud at the instant levity she provided the situation.  Hmmm, a nice reminder that I have little eyes and ears tuned in at all times!
