"Nuggets!"
Insane laughter.
"Nuggets!"
More laughter.
For whatever reason, the word "nuggets" was pure hilarity to Audrey. The more Lauren said it, the funnier it became.
At bath time we decided to try it again for Ella, who had been at school during the day. So Ella said, "Nuggets," and Audrey laughed again, right on cue. The girls went back and forth a few times, amusing each other until, defying all expectation, Audrey yelled back, "Nuggets!"
I know what you're thinking. Audrey is nine months old. She cannot say "nuggets." And maybe she can't. Maybe she's just a baby incredibly lucky enough to say something just like it at just the right moment. But whatever she said sounded close enough that Ella, Lauren and I dropped our jaws, stared into each other's wide eyes, then burst out laughing.
You may doubt it. But we don't. We were there.
