Mercifully, with Laura's insistence, Sophia let me sleep in until 10:00 a.m. before climbing on top of me to loudly announce, "I woke up before you and baby sister!"
"That's nice, honey, but can you whisper? Thalia is still sleeping."
"I don't know how to whisper!"
"Whisper like me."
"I don't know how!"
"What if I gave you a prize if you let me teach you how to whisper?"
"Like what?"
"How about pennies for your piggy bank?"
"Umm, how about chocolate?"
"Okay, chocolate. Let me hear you whisper now."
(whispering perfectly) "Daddy, I love you."
"Aww, I love you, too. That was a perfect whisper! I knew you could do it. Where did you learn how to whisper so well?"
(no longer whispering) "I was taking adult whisper classes with Tigey with a whisper teacher so I can practice whispering. The teacher is a whisper wizard! I am a very good whisperer....Can I have my chocolate now?"....
