Out of the Mouths of Babes

Sophia’s mom had another fight with her longtime boyfriend and he left the house the other day—again. This is something that’s happened quite a number of times since I’ve had Sophia in my life and I try to make the best of it while trying to nudge Sophia’s mom to get rid of him once and for all (which I understand is not easy to do in a codependent relationship).

 

Anyway, Sophia was at my house today helping my roommate decorate cookies after her annual holiday cookie bake party. Shannon, my roommate, absolutely adores Sophia and they get along well. As Sophia was slathering frosting onto another cookie, Sophia started talking about her mom and boyfriend (who Sophia calls her “Bah”):

 

Sophia: Bah got into a fight with mom yesterday and left.
Shannon: Who?
Me: Her mom’s boyfriend.
Shannon: Oh, okay. And what happened?
Sophia (still focused on frosting the cookie): She said he ruined our life.

 

I couldn’t help but crack up at that. I swear I’m so glad I wasn’t eating or drinking at the time or I’d have choked to death.
