Recently we have begun to say our family rosary before bed in the kitchen. The reason for doing that is because the girls area always hungry for a last snack before hitting the sack. So, two nights ago, we were all seated at the kitchen table praying the rosary. Madge and Pita were each having a bowl of cereal and a protein shake (aka "shakie").
I looked across the table at Madge and she had her arms crossed. I was sort of confused since I have never seen her cross her arms that way. I gave her a befuddled look. Then, I looked down at myself. Without realizing it, I had my arms crossed in the same way! Madge was simply imitating the posture I had adopted. That cleared up the confusion. I know how much kids love to imitate those around them. I am just always floored when I see the girls with such cute mannerisms. Madge has also been doing this side-mouth smirk to express uncertainty--another of my traits (always good, of course...he, he, he...if only!). I love you, Madge.
