And I freak out at the thought of having a 12 year old! I see that it might be a never ending thing here!

I’ve got one to share too:

I want to share this cute story. My daughter ( in pre-k) was asking my mother how to spell “egg”.

Gigi: how do you spell egg?
GM: E. G. G.
Gigi: not my name, Bama, egg?
GM: I know. E. G. G.
Gigi sighs and in a frustrated voice says: Bama, not. My. Name.

GM: let me see how you spelled it?

Gigi: egigi, just like you said. E. G. G.
