Miss Mikyla is just getting way too big, way too fast. Day before yesterday, I was cleaning the kitchen, and she had to help me do the dishes. She got everything stacked into the dishwasher to her satisfaction, then had to put in the powder and she got to push start. You'd have thought I'd given her a million barbie dolls.
A few minutes later she said she was going to go clean the bathroom for me. I heard her telling Stan that she needed him to plug in the vacuum cleaner for her, that she was going to clean that floor up for her "poor old sweet mammy".. *laughs* To her, I must look old and wise, I better take advantage of the wise part while she's still young and thinks I know it all, before she gets older and realizes I don't know shit from shinola. Anyway...
She cleaned it up, and made me cover my eyes as she led me down the hall towards the bathroom, then she showed me her surprise, she'd tidied it up right proper, not a towel in sight, nothing in sight really, not even a toothbrush. She'd put EVERYTHING into the cabinet drawers, right down to dumping our toothbrushes out of the toothbrush holders.
Talk about one pleasantly surprised poor sweet old mammy, but I surely was one! Thank you, Mikyla Sweety, I love you soooooo much!
