CONVERSATION

Thatcher: Addie, is that really you? I haven't seen you since I was two days old!

AA: And I was only seven weeks old at that time! My, you are looking handsome! Get over here so I can see you better.

AA: Oh you smell good! What are you wearing?
Thatcher: You really want to know? I think it's baby barf!



AA: Dis-gus-ting! What is it with you boys?!?! My brother JP is always in my face with new smells!
Thatcher: Is JP nice to you?

AA: He's pretty nice most of the time ... oh wait a second, let's smile for my mom's camera!

Thatcher: Should I say cheese?

AA: Yep, you better say it loud or my mom won't stop with the camera flashing!

Thatcher: My mom's the same way.

AA: Where was I? JP ... yeah, he really knows how to work my mom and dad, let me tell you! He's definitely becoming a two year old with this whole "mine" attitude. I just sit and watch his every move.

Thatcher: EJ's almost two too ... and I can't wait until I can keep up with him. Sometimes I just want to tackle him!

AA: Oh, I know what you mean! JP is always swiping my toys away and rolling around me, poking my eyes and pulling at my hairbows ... I'd give anything to clobber him! Hey, I have an idea ... come close and I'll whisper it to you ...

Thatcher: Just don't lick my face while you are talking please.

AA: Sorry. Okay, here's the deal. Let's have our moms take a picture of the four of us, and while JP isn't looking, I'll give him a wet willie!

Thatcher: A wet willie? Whatever you say ... after all, you are the cougar here.

Thatcher: Okay, Addie ... here goes!

AA: AHHHH ... yes! Victory!

AA: Thanks for your help!

Thatcher: I'll see you in a few weeks when we come to MN ... I'll be thinking of some ways we can take on our big brothers again!
