Yet Another Naomiism

Sometimes I wonder if she saves the best of these for her Uncle Richard, since she always seems to spout the most absurd remarks only when I'm around, the others being somewhat typical. Today before Mommy left for school at MTI, she was being cranky and crying about how she didnt' want mommy to go and how she didn't want to go to preschool. I picked her up to get her away from her mother and allow her to leave, during which time she continued crying, until she saw what I had in my hand. Without so much as missing a beat, she stops crying and as if nothing happened says "Oh, you have a doughnut." What followed was a series of questions about how I got the doughnut. Mommy was apparently forgotten in the curiosity maelstrom.
