Olive-isms

We stand at the counter at Middle Way Cafe to purchase a gluten-free chocolate bananna muffin for Elias and a regular blueberry muffin for Olive. I order a mango smoothie and Olive tells the cashier: "My mom and brother can't have gluten, but I can. I'm a gluten!"

*****

"Mom, can we play that we're a family and you pretend to be my Mom?"

*****

I pull grass and Chickweed from one of my flower beds and Olive asks, "Can I help you Mom?"

"Sure." I show her a patch of Chickweed and tell her she can pull out this plant wherever she finds it.

"Ok," she says. "I like pulling weed. Mom, where's more weed? I need more weed, Mommy!"

To keep Olive occupied during a meeting at the bank I give her my phone, fifty plus pictures later, here are a few I saved:

Happy Friday all!
