Spark Plugs

"See what I mean jelly bean?" "Sure do, tennis shoe!"

Bouncy blond hair, shiny blue eye, ideas bouncing around in her head, always a tease or comment; this is the spark plug of our family.

You know the type, the child who keeps you laughing. The one whose baby book should lay open so you can keep up with the lines. You start to daydream maybe you can submit an article to Reader's Digest and win $500 with these witty remarks. However, you may also dream about an invention that fits perfectly over the mouth, bringing a moment of silence into your home.

Serious conversions are almost impossible. For example, when she asks, “What's a nun?,” you go into your role of expert parent-teacher and explain thoroughly, patting yourself on the back for a job well done. Then you ask, "Well, are you going to be a nun?" "No," she answers, "a nut! "

Or the time I tried to be impatient at her dad saying he was the slowest man in the world and she answers emphatically, "Yes, but he's my man."

She's the type that doesn't really want to grow up saying she should keep her baby teeth forever, but quickly changes her mind when the tooth fairy leaves her 50 cents, checking all the other teeth to see if they might be jerked out quickly.

She's definitely her father's daughter perfecting his talent of being a first class tease. This talent must be used daily on the other siblings in the family who enjoy it to the fullest - if you know what I mean!

Yes, the spark plugs of any family are a JOY to have around. It's even hard to think of an ending to these thoughts so as she would say, "See ya later, alligator. After while, crocodile, I love you, goodbye."
