I Never

Gillian's newest favorite phrase is "I never...." It started with "I never have horsies on my side." You have to imagine the half sigh-ing, sad little voice she used as we were driving past the stables on our street. And, yes, Colin DID have horses on his side.

Soon after that, she was in her booster at the table, and she and Daddy were having a conversation about something and she told him, "I can never do anything." Again, sighing and sad. What? Is she suddenly fourteen? It certainly makes us laugh now, but it makes me a bit nervous for those pre-teen and teen years.
