Tall and Cute
Cora, as I held her tightly: Mom, why won't you just let go?
Me: Because I can't! You're just too cute.
Cora: If you'd just let go, I'll show you how tall I am.
Me: You're still cute, even if you're tall.
Cora, wriggling free: There! See, look how tall I am. I'm not cute at all!
Me, grabbing her again: Still cute.
Cora, sighing like she's resigned herself and letting me rock her: Will you stop doing this when I'm a teenager and a giant, at least?
Me: Because I can't! You're just too cute.
Cora: If you'd just let go, I'll show you how tall I am.
Me: You're still cute, even if you're tall.
Cora, wriggling free: There! See, look how tall I am. I'm not cute at all!
Me, grabbing her again: Still cute.
