Tonight, at dinner, Sadie was trying to communicate with me in her 20-month old babble vernacular that she wanted something from me. So I, having been raised on the faux-wisdom of Oprah and Dr. Phil said to her:
"Sadie, I don't understand your mumbling. Use your words."
To which she babbled. So I repeated myself:
"Sadie, seriously. Use your words."
So Justin tells her:
"Ooh, you better watch out, Sadie. Aunt Jen knows how to use literary devices. Like language."
To which I said:
'Language is a literary device?"
It made me laugh forever.
P.S. I never figured out what Sadie wanted so I distracted her with tracing her hand on my notebook.
