Talking about nothing

Anyone who knows Andrew will be able to understand this.

I was taking a nap and the kids were having quiet time in the living room when Andrew came in to talk to me.

"Mom, Elsie says I'm annoying."

"What were you doing?"

"Talking to her."

"About what?"

"Um, nuffing."

I couldn't help but laugh. He defensively added,

"I was just talking to myself."

That made me laugh harder, which made him wonder.

"Is it okay to talk to yourself?"

"Yes, it is honey, as long as you don't MAKE everyone else listen to you talk to yourself."

He has so many thoughts, he just can't keep them all in!
