Edee refers to anything that happened in the past as "last year". Since we're only three days into the new year, technically she is now correct any time she refers to something that happened "last year".
We're driving to church as a family and she remarks about something that happened "last year".
Me: Yep. Edee, do you realize that THIS year you'll be going to kindergarten?
Edee (eyes lit up): I am!??
Daddy: Wait! She is?......Whoa....this year? What.....how'd that happen?
Me: I know, so exciting! In September, Edee. That's about nine months away.
Daddy: That's so crazy that will happen this year.
Me (talking to Daddy quietly): We also said that this year we'd talk about whether or not we'll try to get P-R-E-G-N-A-N-T.
Daddy: What....oh no.....
Edee: Mom!! What does dat spell?? Tell me!!
Daddy: It spells 'Disaster'.
Edee: Oh right, I knew dat already.
Mmmm hmmm.
Oh noodles.
"Edee" and "Chicken" are nicknames for my two little rascals. The names originated from how my daughter would pronounce both her own and little brother's name when she first started talking. They've stuck. Chicken may live to regret that someday....
