Motherhood is glamorous

Stella climbed into bed with us at about 6:15 this morning. The sun was up, and she was in a chatty mood. She nestled in between me and Chris and started talking…

Stella: [cough] What is that? What is that stuff in my throat? I can’t cough it out. What do you call that?

Me: Ummm [yawn]…phlegm?

Stella: What is phlegm?

Me: It’s, uh, like snot.

Stella: What colors does it come in?

Me: ***

Stella: Mommy? What colors does phlegm come in? Does it come in yellow?

Me: [long pause] Yes.

Stella: I think I once had phlegm inside me and I coughed really hard and it came out of my mouth and landed on the floor.

Me: ***

Stella: And you picked it up.

Me: ***

Stella: It was gross.

Me: ***

Stella: It looked like Pirate’s Booty.
