Just thought I'd share a Ginger-ism...

Whew.

I had a horrible, sleepless night last night, and was so 
tired that I fell asleep TWICE during my daughter's "educational" 
tv programs this morning.  TWICE before 10am.  Man.  What a 
nightmare.  Anyway, we all had a 2.5 hour nap this afternoon, and 
now I feel much better (although not very sleepy... insomnia is a
VICIOUS cycle).  (hrm. Sorry 'bout all the caps tonight)

So tonight at about 8pm, my husband says to Ginger, "Okay........"

Ginger: "No! No! No! No!" while running around the room trying to 
avoid him... she obviously thinks it's bedtime already (her bedtime 
is 8:30)
hubby: "Let's see how fast we can make cookies!"

Ginger gets this funny look on her face.  She's shocked, really, and 
it makes me laugh.  So she starts laughing, and runs into the kitchen
saying, "I want to help!"  Hubby was very tolerant, and let her 
measure things and lick a beater.  So sue us - we're not worried 
about raw eggs... but I digress.

So the cookies go into the oven, and Ginger is very messy (you know,
cookie dough mixed with saliva running down her chest (she's a nudist
at heart, I think), flour in her hair, etc), so I say, "Looks like
somebody needs a bath.  Me! Me! Me!"

Ginger: "No, ME!"

Me: "Just kidding... go take your diaper off"  (have I mentioned 
before that I'm despairing of EVER getting this kid to use the
potty???)

So we take a bath, and all is going well... and here's the funny 
part.  Ginger makes some bubbles "the natural way", and says to me in
this mini-philosopher's voice:

"Mommy?  Why do people ALWAYS fart in the bathtub?"
