A first

Snuggle bugTonight Maybelle got indignant because I was laughing. I was laughing out of enjoyment, I promised her--not at her, but because she was making me happy.  But she said, "Mama laughing, stop it!"

I was laughing because her current favorite song is the Squeeze's "Black Coffee in Bed," and as we were leaving Claire and Larry's house, she was casually singing it:  "Black black black coffee in bed."  It's rare that a four year old is singing that song, and it's pretty adorable.  But I am no longer allowed to laugh at her while she sings it.  Which is going to be difficult.

I thought it was very cool that she noticed I was laughing in response to her, took offense at that, and communicated her offense.  As far as I know, that's a first for her!  Claire said to prepare for more of that.

  1. I like it when she really belts out that last round of: coffee....in....bed.....At least you are still allowed to enjoy the song -- soon enough it seems that if the person who is not yet an adult likes something the person who is an adult is required not to like it.

    1. Thanks! I've gotten the same response from some Facebook friends from college. I think this marks us as of a certain generation.
