why don't you know her name?

I thought I would give you a little sampler
of the conversations that take place in this house with
Ms. Lucy.

Lucy:
"Mama, who was that on the phone?"

Me:
"It was a lady."

Lucy:
"What lady, Mama?"

Me:
"Just a lady, Lucy."

Lucy:
"What is her name, Mama?"

Me:
"I'm really not sure, Lucy."

Lucy:
"What did she say?"

Me:
"Nothing."

Lucy:
"Mom, what did she say?"

Me:
"Lucy, it was a lady from the doctor's office, that's all."

Lucy:
"And you don't know her name?"

Me:
"Ummm, no."

Lucy:
"Mom, why don't you know her name?"

Me:
"I don't know."

Lucy:
"Well, you should know her name."

Me:
"It's fine, Lucy."

Lucy:
"Mama?"

Me:
"What, Lucy?"

Lucy:
"I think I probably just tooted...
do you smell it?"




Mercy me.
