Listening

I should be reading my school homework, but instead I want to record this silly Gracie story:

I was making dinner and was apparently zoning out, not hearing Gracie saying over and over, "Mommy, come to my wedding. Mommy, come to my wedding. Mommy, come to my wedding..." (we've been talking about weddings lately and she's decided to play wedding...at age two...yikes). I finally hear her last request because it's followed by: "Uh, ohhh..." I ask her what is wrong and she says in her best mommy voice: "...Are you not listening?"

I chuckle inside, knowing that she hears these two phrases together whenever she decides not to obey.
