So of course...all of our kids wanted to 'help' with this noble endeavor.
As they were putting on their coats to leave for school, Katie came up to me and said,
"Thanks for getting me these pajamas for Christmas. I really love them!"
As I was about to say, "You're welcome," she continued....
"I really appreciate dat."
Jeff and I got a big ol' warm feeling and smiled at each other...thinking we had the most amazing child on the planet.
A few seconds later she looked up at me and said,
"What does appreciate mean?"
