Let Her Be

Anonybabe and I were sitting in the front seat of our car today, goofing around after a class at the Y, waiting for our windows to defrost before heading home. We were playing a game where she would name something and I would sing about it in a goofy voice.

Anonybabe was sitting in my lap, facing me, and she said "Weh!"

"Red?" I asked, and she nodded her head.

"Weh A!"

"Red Aaaaa, Red Aaaaaaa!" I sang.

"Weh See!"

"Red Ceeee, Red Ceeeee!" I could see her looking over my shoulder at the Y building.

"Weh Em!"

"Red M, Red M!" This time I knew what was coming, but didn't quite believe it.

"Weh Why!"

No motherflippin' way. My baby can read the letters on the side of the YMCA?!? That's great, right? And a little, um, crazy.
