I can see now that Piper has carried on my legacy:
Two days ago she visited with Santa on the neighborhood float that I used to visit Santa on.
Today she put a button in her nose. When I was ten I swallowed a button the size of a quarter.
The other day Piper was being really chatty at the table while I was getting her dinner ready. She was being quite talkative and driving me a little batty. My mom was in the kitchen with me and I asked her if I was this chatty as a kid, knowing full-well that I was (and still am) a talker. I needed some perspective. My mom got this look on her face and started chuckling and stifling a laugh. I started giggling too. All the while Piper is talking away. My mom started walking away trying not to bust a gut. I was laughing too but I told her to stop and that I had something to say. She and I both at the same time said, "I'm sorry." She read my mind when I said "sorry" because she knew that I was apologizing for being so talkative as a kid and probably making them crazy. We were both laughing the whole time. Oh, the irony.
Things have definitely come full-circle. The messer becomes the messee (you have to watch Friends to understand that quote.) I am my mother's daughter and evidently so is Piper.
