A phone conversation with Chase:

Me: Hey buddy, it’s Mama. Hi Chase!

Chase: Hi Chase!

Me: No, say Hi Mama.

Chase: Hi Mama!

Me: Are you having fun at Jenny’s? Are you playing with Kylie? What did you have for dinner?

Chase: Oh mama, Jenny. Kylie fun. Oh mama, CHICKEN. CHICKEN mama.

Me: You had chicken? That’s nice. How’s Jimmy. Is brother being good?

Chase: Jimmy no chicken. Chase chicken. Chicken fun, Mama. Chicken for Chase.

Me: Daddy will be there to get you soon, Bud. Night Night Chase, love you.

Chase: No Daddy. Stay Jenny and Chicken. Night Mama, lub wu. Lub chicken too Mama.

Sigh. I’ve been so easily replaced.
