Overheard

I know I recently posted some examples of the girls’ quirky comments and observations, but I was so amused by the following exchange that I had to share it as well.  I overheard this conversation taking place last night over the monitor, after the girls had been in bed for a half an hour. 

Susie: “What’s the matter?

Becky:  “No – I tired."

Susie: “What’s the matter?

Becky:  “No – I tired."

Susie: “What’s the matter?

Becky (loudly): “NO!  I tired!  Go away Suey!"

Susie: "Oh."

Becky (softly and kindly): “Nigh nigh Suey.  I tired.  I go to sleep."

(Silence)

I thought that Susie had finally taken the hint when I didn’t hear anything more for a few minutes.  But soon I heard hysterical giggling, followed by the melodic strains of two voices singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” intermixed with portions of the “ABC’s.”  They continued chattering and singing off and on for another hour.  I guess my night-owl Susie convinced her sleepy sister to stay up and keep her company.

And there was another country heard from tonight.  The girls’ little sibling decided not to be left out of the action – I felt a few baby movements!  I can only imagine what kind of a ruckus the three kids are going to raise when they’re all together!
