"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

That's My M!

When I told M what we named the baby, she paused and then said - with a very serious look:

"I don't like the Clark part."

Then, she said: "And anyway, I want to name it Emma."

I said: "Well, we're pretty sure it was a boy."

And she said, with a long, drawn-out drawl: "No."

I said: "Yes."

She said: "No."

I said: "Yes."

Then she said: "Silly boy."

Like: What was he thinking, being a boy? Why, I oughta.

Later, when Justin talked to her about it, she commented, with a huge sigh:

"But she's a boy."

Funny girl.

Oh my goodness- M totally has such a cute, opinionated personality doesn't she? This totally made me chuckle.
