Dauntless Thoughts

Sweet Ellie was sitting in the car one day, and thought of the darnest thing to say, she said, "mommy I know owls are nocturnal, 'cuz mommy owls are NOT TURTLES!" Ellie had such a good sense of humor in mind, seemed so tenderly gentle and kind, but when mommy asked her not to do it again, she said, "mommy close your eyes then!" Ellie asked mommy what was in her hand, she thought she somehow would understand, mommy said, "Ellie it's a calculator for math", "no mommy it's a calcuNOW", oh how she laughed. She thinks of such silly things she can't comprehend, like when mommy asks for a hand to lend, Ellie says, "mommy I can't help right now, I'm with Billy having a cow." She thought, WOW! Ellie always wondered why ice cream she ate, while mommy and daddy were on a bedroom date, she'd stay up late and hear the noise they were making, and that I've cream she had no trouble taking. Sometimes mommy wonders what goes through her mind, and the answers she just can't seem to find, but she's mommy and daddy's little girl, with enough dauntless thoughts to ruin the world!
