I was listening to Zane play with Batman and another toy figure a couple of months ago. I took note because this is part of what I heard:
"Hey, Miss. Come here, Miss. Missy! Be careful Missy!
I smiled and reflected for a moment. First, I very rarely use the name "Missy" but have been known to on a few occasions with Vanessa. My dad had a joke about calling me "Missy". And I would joke back that my name wasn't "Missy" -- I was extra adamant since I have two second cousins nicknamed "Missy" -- being the fourth kid in line growing up and one in a horde of Mollohans, I was extra determined to have my own identity. :-)
Zane: "I'll miss you while you're gone. Come give me a hug, girlie. I love you so much, Mom. I love you more than a platypus. I love you more than that window."
This little guy is so incredibly funny. I wish I had the ability to document all of his odd jokes. And he knows how to make anyone feel extra special.
