Low Quality Snapshots

of high quality daughters.


Annika, in the middle of prancing about, "Mama, what do you think I look like?"

Me: Straining for the slender line that separates honesty from flattery, "A babushka butterfly?"

Her: Delighted and flattered, "Oh, yes!"

...............many more minutes of prancing about............................

Her: "Mama, what's a 'babushka?'"

Me: "Um. A Russian grandmother."

Her delight left, and she now profilactively announces whenever she wears a scarf, "I am NOT a babushka."



Millie is a (babushka) owl.
