catherine.

She's become one of my favorite little friends and I always look forward to the next time I get to see or hang out with Catherine Tarrant. She's the 8 year old daughter of a co-worker and we have a unique bond. She's got more exuberance and zest than any other kid I've met and her honesty leaves anyone desiring the simplicity of childhood through and through. She tells it like it is.

In fact, her dad Sterling tells me she expressed some concern the other night over dinner.

Catherine: "I don't want Liz to get married"
Mom and Dad: "Why not?"
Catherine: "Because then she'll have to do things for her husband."

Mom and Dad: "Well... like what Catherine?"

Catherine: "Like... get him a beer."

Where this came from I don't know, but I can't tell you enough how greatly I appreciate her concern for me... what a gem, ya?!

My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard!!
