Mini Me in the Making

This evening, Beth was regaling us over dinner with a recital of the 7-11 TV commercial. (She also knows the Pizza Hut one. Sigh.) Her daddy and I looked at each other with a mixture of amazement (at her memory powers) and resignation (the power of media!).

As she sang away, I said out loud: "I wonder what your mei mei will be like."

To which came the immediate, self-confident rejoinder: "Just like me!"

(Were Beth a tad older, she might perhaps have added "But of course!" or "Ahbudden?" or "Duh??")

We shudder to think how the little one will turn out.
