We were driving around town, looking for ways to stave off boredom and avoid a suspected meltdown when Nanny, who was in for a visit, began coaxing Audrey in teasing tones about who we would invite to my birthday party.
"Shall we invite Daddy-kins?" she asked.
"Yes, yes, Daddykins can come."
"What about Mommykins?"
"Of course, Mommykins."
"And Audreykins?" The laundry list continued..
When we got to baby sister, Audrey interjected, "How 'bout E-banjo-lin-kins?" She sounded the word out slowly and with precision.
"Wow," I piped in, "that is a mouthful."
"Yes," said Audrey, with a heaving sigh, "E-banjo-lin-kins. It's too much! I can't do it!"
I couldn't either.
