"Cookies."

It was our first time back at church since vacation, and I wondered how Luxie would do in the nursery after an almost three week absence. She did really well, actually, and I asked her about it once we got home.

"Did you have fun at church today?"
"Yeah!"
"Did you get to see Miss Anne?"
"Yeah!"
"Did you play with lots of toys?"
"Yeah!"
"Does Miss Anne understand your words?" (Ive wondered if they understand what she says like we do...)
(stares at me in silence)
(I decided to rephrase the question...) "Does Miss Anne know what you are saying?"
(still stares at me in silence)
(I give it one more try...) "When you talk, does Miss Anne know your words?"
(another long pause....stares at me in silence...then answers)

"Cookies."


I guess Miss Anne understands that one!
