My genes?

Two more ways Elli is just like me. 1. She screamed for 15 minutes because she fell and scraped her knee and she was hurt, she was mad, and there was blood running down her leg. 2. She had to potty on the way home, while screaming due to the knee, and yelled, "I have to go potty. I can't hold it. It is almost coming!" Brent asked why she got all my genes?:) I have similar stories from my childhood. One story I remember is that I scraped my elbow and couldn't (wouldn't) straighten it and then did not want to wear my pajamas because they had long sleeves. (I might get fuzz in my scraped elbow and we all know how much it hurts to pull fuzz out of a scab!) So, mom gave me her night shirt to wear. (Pink and gray with a little mouse on it) Elli will not straighten her knee right now:) Also, I have been teased most of my life about the time I was riding in the car and had to pee really badly! I cried, kicked my feet, beat my fists on the seat and yelled, "It's coming!" over and over. I finally made it home, but no one in my family was happy, least of all me!

I wish I could see little Elli not straigtening her knee...and probably walking with a limp...due to her little scrape - so cute!
