Elle: I remember when I wasn’t even in your tummy!
Me: Where were you then?
Elle: (slightly exasperated) You could imagination me!

Me: Night night, sweetie.
Elle: Mama, why did you choose me?
Me: Oh, Elle, if I could have chosen you, I surely would have chosen you. But God chose you for me. And me for you. That’s why I love God so much.
Elle: And Tom chose God for Jay!
Me: We’re lucky.
Elle: Yeah, we’re lucky.
