Eliana came into the kitchen and said,"Paper?  Paper?"  I saw that she had something in her hand, assumed it was a pencil or a crayon, and said,"You need some paper?  I'll get you some."  She trotted out of the kitchen, utensil in hand. A few seconds later I heard a little voice, calling from another room..."Mommy, I need some toilet paper!"  It was Michaela. A light bulb came on above my head; I said,"Is that what Eliana was asking me for, toilet paper?"  Michaela responded,"Yes!" I laughed, first because Michaela had sent Eliana on this mission, second because I thought Eliana had a writing utensil when she actually had a fork from a play picnic set, and third because this seems to be a common theme around here!
