Today, after a lot of whining, complaining, and generally self-centered comments, Elena said to me (in her whiniest voice):
"Daddy, I don't have a fork!"
I sat her down and explained to her that in our family we each think about others and their feelings and needs before our own, and told her that I wanted her to try to do so. Without hesitation, she responded:
"But daddy, I'm thinking about how bad Victoria must feel knowing that I don't have a fork!"

That made me laugh so hard! Thanks for sharing. It was so good to see you guys last week-we miss you and your beautiful family. Your girls have such cute personalities. Love you,
I feel bad for her not having a fork...
Okay...I have now laughed so much it hurts. Thanks for posting this. It's just what I needed today.
So cute. I could actually hear her saying that. She's so adorable. I miss you and love ya.
That is really really cute :)
I definitely would've given her a fork after that! :)
Ha! Thank heavens for children who make us laugh at with them in their (and our) imperfection.
Megan read this to me the day you posted it - I laughed so hard for so long. Then I kept thinking about it and laughing all over again. Then Megan read it to Dad and we laughed again. (Maybe chortled is a better description.) She's going to keep you on your toes, isn't she?! And I love your postscript.
She is so smart. I miss her. Thanks for sharing, I also spent a lot of time laughing before I could leave my comment.
