It's Coming....Ohio State Football
im not a crazy football fan.
im not even a crazy sports person in general.
i dont know if i can even really be called a true buckeye... besides the fact that i was born and raised here in ohio.
but living in columbus has turned me into a buckeye fan.
through osmosis i guess.
its hard to escape, even if you wanted to.
and it doesnt help that lilly is a fan :)
(...and she was born in columbus, so she is official)

"whose da boy's name?"
no love on my last post... boohoo.
moving on...
lilly is is obsessed with knowing people's names.
people. animals. anything that seems to be alive.
"whose da boy's name?"
"whose da girl name?"
"whoosa baby name?"
"whoosa big one name?" (in reference to the person with the baby)
"whoosa doggie name?"
"whoosa big one name?" (in reference to the dog owner)
most of the time we tell the truth.
"i dont know their name, lilly."
"we don't know them, so we don't know their name."
"mommy and daddy don't know everyone's names."
"that's a stranger. we can just call them ma'am or sir."
"if you don't know their name, we probably don't know it either" (that's my new favorite one from dave tonight... heheh)
we usually get an unsatisfied reply... which is the repetition of the initial question (ie: "whose da boy's name?")
realizing that the 'truth' of not knowing the person's name was insufficient, we started answering like this...
me: "not sure lilly, maybe their name is ben?"
lilly: "no!"
me: "um... how about tom?"
lilly: "noooo... (giggle giggle)"
me: "steve?"
lilly: "no, mamma."
me: "i dont know lilly. sorry"
so tonight in the car, the conversation starts again.
(let me also inform you that lilly has recently started the fine art of conversing with herself.)
lilly: whose da boy's name?
lilly: i dunno.
lilly: whose da boy's name?
lilly: bob.
lilly: bob?
lilly: yeah bob.
lilly: no gramma.
lilly: gramma. bob.
lilly: gramma. bob. gramma. bob.
this while dave is keeling over the wheel trying to hold in his laughter, and pay attention to stop lights :)

nail biter
lilly is a nail biter.
she has been for a while now.
which is why we don't paint her fingernails.
she knows she'll get her nails painted if she stops biting her nails.
and she is not shy at all to tell anyone those facts.
the other day she is chewing on something...
as usual, i think that is her job
me: lilly what's in your mouth?
lilly: hangnail
me: spit it out (holding my hand to her mouth)
lilly: (spits out nail)
me: where'd you get this nail? (way too big to come from any of her fingers)
lilly: toes
yeah, she's gnawing at her toes now.
to the point where it bled and needed a band-aid.
(a plain adult band-aid... no garfield for that habit)
oh. my.
this girl.
