My Favorite Question Right Now
We live with an amazing family here in Kona…the Byrds, as we fondly call them. One of their daughters is about 2 1/2 years old, and she has developed quite a liking for my husband, unashamedly so. Her big brown eyes, and bouncy blond curls can really provide some fierce competition for attention around here. But she is truly wonderful and adorable and so sweet, and we love her dearly.
↓ See what I mean??
Ever since John left on Tuesday night for a short trip, she has found opportunity each day to ask me, “Where’s Johnny?” But I think it’s necessary to spell out her phrase phonetically so you can imagine sweet Hadassah asking this question. What she actually says is,”Wayuhz Jawneee?” It’s absolutely, positively, perfectly delightful. And each time I answer her by saying, “He’s in Ohio.” Then she responds by making her best attempt to repeat the name of this state, as she says, “High-ohhh.” This little “Where’s Johnny,” exchange has become my favorite question right now, at least until John returns home on Sunday evening.
As I get ready to climb into bed tonight, I find myself looking forward to tomorrow morning when Hadassah greets me at the breakfast table and asks again, “Wayuhz Jawneee?”
Goodnight everyone!

Darling daughter – this post was priceless because you chose to spell Hadassah’s question to you phonetically. I can totally “hear it” in my mind. She is a real beauty and I love how she’s got a crush on Johnny. Thank you for blogging. Reading your words makes my heart so happy.
I love you,
Mam
