Cushions

My sister and her daughter went home on Monday after their stay with Glen and I.  My niece is 7 years old and she has only just kind of grasped the concept of a nickname.  She now knows my nickname is Oddie.  She thinks its cool.  Yeah – I’m with it! mmm maybe…

My niece has been coming and giving me lots of hugs during their stay.  On the Sunday, we were heading out to have dinner, and my niece came up and gave me a hug while we were waiting for Glen.  My sister was standing next to us and we were talking about something trivial.   During a break in our converstaion, we heard a little voice from my niece (who was still hugging me) that was just audible “I love your new cushions.”

My sister and I burst out laughing.
