Kind Of, Sort Of

Part 1

The other morning, the following conversation took place between Presley and me after breakfast:

P1:  Daddy, I'm finished.

Me:  Did you eat all of your food?

P1:  No, but my tummy's full.

Me:  Presley, you didn't touch your sausage and you told me you wanted sausage.

P1:  But I'm finished.

Me:  Did you like your sausage?

P1:  Kind of, but my tummy's full.

That was the first time I heard Presley use the phrase "kind of," and it made me smile.

Part 2

I loved that conversation so much that I decided to tell Lora later when we were all in the car together:

Me:  Did I tell you about my conversation with Presley this morning after breakfast when she was finished eating?

Lora:  No.

Me:  It cracked me up.  She told me that she was finished eating, but she hadn't eaten the sausage that she specifically asked for, so I asked her if she liked it, and she told me "sort of, but my tummy's full."

P1:  (from the backseat) I said "kind of."

I loved that conversation even more!  She obviously listens to us when we talk and has a good memory of her conversations with us as well.

I kind of, sort of love every ounce of that girl!
