"Hey Ed! She getchya too?!"
Last night, while Andy’s aunt and Uncle were over, my mom-in-law showed Drew and Madeline how to catch lightning bugs. Yes, you heard right. And – wow! – we have two talented lightning bug catchers in the family, who woulda thought? At one point I heard Andy’s dad say “Madeline’s all lit up like a Christmas tree!” (did I mention the part about lightning BUGS?)
Drew: “Madeline, she drop my bug!” And twenty seconds later, “Madeline, she broke my bug!” Obviously, Madeline ain’t so gentle-like. All she cared about was the part that glows, naturally.
The adult conversation instantly turned into this roleplay of the local lightning bug convalescent ward. Andy: [cue wobly bug voice] “Hey Ed! She getchya too?!”
