On Monday I had to go back to the Dr. to get my results for my continuous blood glucose monitor. (good times). While the girls and I were waiting for me to be called back, the nice nurse, Jo, who we know quite well, since she has worked there through both of my pregnancies, and after, asked, "Do you girls need some stickers?"
Ellie replied, "No, but can we still have some?"
Jo looked at me, utterly confused.
I said, "You asked if they NEED stickers, they know that they don't NEED any, but they WANT some."
Jo's whole face lit up, she was amazed. It was really quite funny, all of Daddy's explanations and teachings really have sunk in. Jo proceeded to tell everyone in the office about my little girls and their manners. I was a proud Mama and when I called Kent that night to tell him, I could feel him beaming through the phone.
After we left the Dr. and we were heading home, we were behind an ambulance. Ellie said, "Mom, don't hit the ambulance (as if I hit people regularly), the people will just get more dead in there." Thanks baby, glad you're watching out for me and those around us!

Those stories are truly awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Ahemm..without bragging (too much) may I humbly accept credit for a small part of Kent's training and courtesy. While living down here in Florida, I clearly recall at many evening meals asking Kent if he needed another helping of beans and sausages.Invariably his answer was consistently identical to Ellie's !! One can never doubt the results of parental guidance and training.
