We drove by a flooded house that Riley always liked near our old house and she was sad to think about them knocking it down since it had a fence around it.  She said, "but I have a rememory about that ..."  Leighton and I love how she puts a 're' in front of lots of words.

Today Riley was eating her soup and said, "This breast tastes like ..." and at first I thought she meant the turkey breast in it, but she actually just said breast instead of broth!
