After I had gotten in the shower this morning, Madeleine emerged from bed and wandered into the bathroom.
MADELEINE: Mommy!
ME: (poking my head around the shower curtain) Yes?
MADELEINE: Like my song? (singing progressively higher and higher) Underwear, underwear, uuuuunderwear, Underwear, underwear, uuuuuuunderwear, Underwear, underwear, uuuuuuunderwear.
ME: Great!
MADELEINE: So Mommy. How high can *you* sing underwear?
I have had laryngitis for the past week+. I think Madeleine has asked me to imitate some sort of singing or sound effect she is making up at least once per day.
ME: Not very high, because of my sickness.
MADELEINE: Oh. Yeah. I forgot. (thoughtful silence) Well, Mommy, can you at least do this? (singing at a normal pitch) "Underwear, underwear, uuuuunderwear?"
ME: (imitating her) Underwear, underwear, uuuuunderwear.
MADELEINE: (encouragingly) That's pretty good!
All right! Thanks for fluffing me up a bit, Madeleine! I needed a little confidence-booster and she sure delivered.
