"Is that Papa right there?"
Yesterday we were at Derek's mom's when I suddenly got a really bad headache. Derek took me home and then went back to have dinner. He called me on his way home afterward to tell me how smart Brooke is. He said they were driving down the freeway when a maroon truck came alongside them. Brooke looked up to say, "Is that Papa right there?" Derek wasn't sure where she was referring to so her asked her, "Grandpa, Krista, or Grandpa, Denise?" We use this terminology so that we aren't confused about who she might be talking about. We have her say some of the other people in that family so that we know who it is. So she will either say "Grandpa (or Grandma), Krista" or "Grandpa (or Grandma), Denise." So Brooke answered Derek with "Grandpa, Krista." Derek looked and saw a similar two door, extended cab, maroon colored truck that looked just like "Grandpa, Krista"s. He told her sadly, "No, sweetheart. It's not, but you are very smart to think that it was Grandpa." She is getting so smart to connect colors that are identical. Even when she hasn't seen Grandpa's truck in a while. My how they grow up so fast.
