My daughter sat on the couch right next to me. We were having one of our unusual evenings where I was not dragging my kids from one event to another - or just trying to get them out to play. She leaned over to me with a sweet smile on her face. She said, "mom, you talk too much."
There was no judgement in her statement. She just didn't like the way I was trying to explain a situation. But then she started to speak - she didn't stop for at least 20 minutes. I'm not exaggerating (although many times I do). She was telling me about a story that they were reading in school. She must have memorized it word for word. There was no recapping of the story AT ALL.
I couldn't help but smile a little as I said, "honey, you talk a lot too." Like mother like daughter. I love that girl!
