OLD like you. . .

So today, while on the treadmill, Mackenzie was jumping on the trampoline and keeping me company. She decided that while we exercised we must watch "Semi Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee". If you don't watch it, I highly recommend it!! It's a wonderful show! Mackenzie actually asks us if she can watch it all the time. In fact, when I announced I was going on the treadmill, she immediately asked if we could turn "Semi Homemade" on. Since it is Ti-Vo'd, I agreed. Although, in retrospect, is it really smart to exercise while watching someone make a Lemon-Blueberry CAKE? I think NOT!

ANYWAY, we were watching Sandra (we are on a first name basis now. . .I figure that if my four year old can quote, "Keep is sweet, Keep it smart, Keep it simple, and Always Keep it Semi Homemade" on demand, we are on a first name basis!) make a steak fiesta pizza on the grill. It looked scrumpcious. While Sanda was grilling the steak and peppers, Mackenzie turned to me and said, "When I get OLD like you, I will love to eat that." "Old like ME?" I asked her? OLD? I am sure that when you are 4 and your parents are in their EARLY 30's, it must seem OLD. But, it was still a shock to be called OLD. By your daughter. To your face. It didn't help much when I said, "Do you think Mama is OLD?" She replied, "No, when I get BIGGER like you, I will like to eat that."

Thanks.
