And speaking of my children and their future careers, I think, at the tender age of 2, Molly's revealed to us her true calling:
Diner waitress.
I'm being unkind, you say, locking her into a life collecting tips and slinging hash before she hits preschool? I'd have said that, too. But that was before yesterday.
Yesterday, my mom gave Molly a little play kitchen for her birthday. We opened it up and this is what happened.
I think there'd definitely be a job for her at Mel's Diner. She strikes just the right note of annoyed exasperation as she explains that she's "makin' coffee," and especially as she tells the inconsiderate customers to "Hold on!" Flo, eat your heart out.

I have never laughed so hard in all my life. That was hilarious. Oh I do miss that girl. Any chance you need a sitter again?
You gotta love it.
Well the sad part isn't that she's going to be a diner waitress, but that she'll never make more than a 10% tip with that attitude!
I am late here, but anyways, loved it ! How many feelings it brought by hearing Judys voice, seing you and Emma and this litlle cute Molly!
More, more and more, please.
