A duck says quack

"Is Daddy a bear?" (Jon lets out a violent roar.)

"Noooooooo."

"Is he a dog?" (Jon barks, begs for a treat, balances a book on his head.)

"Noooooooo. He's not a dog!"

"How about a cat? Is Daddy a cat?" (Jon meows and then licks his paws, pretends to cough up a wad of hair the size of a softball.)

"Noooooooo. Not a cat!"

"Is he a cow?" (Lots of mooing and staring blankly.)

"Noooooooo. Daddy's not a cow!"

"Is he a Leta?" (He starts singing the ABC song, stops at the letter K to ask for gummy bears.)

"Noooooooo. He's not a Leta!"

"Is he a Mama?" (He takes a deep breath, closes his eyes and screams, "JOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!")

Leta doesn't say a word and instead whips her head around to make sure that Daddy hasn't magically transformed into Mama, because that? That was so real.

Heather talks about overcoming depression on today's Momversation.

  • Leta: "STOP FOLLOWING ME, COCO!" I wonder where she picked up that exclamation.
  • Me: "Hey Marlo, here's a vibrantly colored, squeaky toy made specifically for your age group!" Marlo: "Got any knives?"
  • @makeandtakes my pleasure! Had a great time with you guys!
