Since I've been sick, Jordan has been spending a lot of time with his (and my) Granny. I'm so thankful for our Granny...not only did she take shifts watching over me when I was in the hospital, but she also had one or more of my children for most of the time I was hospitalized. Even now that I'm home, she still comes and takes Jordan for me after lunch so that I can rest. I just love her!
Jordan loves her, too, and I'm starting to be able to tell he's been hanging out with her more than usual. For example: tonight, Granny sent over some dinner. Some fried okra, green beans, and tomatoes from the garden and some hash brown casserole. Yum. As I was fixing the children's plates, Jordan and I had this conversation:
Me: Okay, who wants okra?
Jordan: You mean okrey? I do! I want some okrey!
Me: Would you like some tomatoes?
Jordan: Actually, they're called maters.
Me: They're actually called tomatoes. Would you like some potatoes on your plate, too?
Jordan: You're actually wrong. They're maters. And I want some taters, too, please.
You can't get more country than that! Just like Granny!
