I am the- wha? - oh.

The other day Maren told me, "Mommy, you are the best best Mommy all the time."
"Aw, sweetie," I said. "Thank you! You are the best best daughter!"

Then yesterday I heard her say to Andy, "Daddy, you are the best best daddy ever."
Yeah, that's cool. Daddy deserves kudos!

And then... once again... I overheard Maren say this to her doll:

"Baby, you are the best best baby all day."

And to her bus:

"Bus, you are the best best bus every day."

And to an ant, on the sidewalk:

"Ant, you are the best best ant ever."

The ant?

Oh, I get it. Me and the ant. We're the best. Got it.
