Self Esteem Issues at 3???

It looks like Ellie may have inherited the funny gene from her Papi. Lately she has busted out a string of funny events and sentences, that leave Ricardo and I with our mouths open, before we recover and just bust a gut laughing at her crazy antics.

First one I can think of happened the other day in the car. This is probably our fault, because as parents of a gorgeous little girl, we like to tell her that she is. We probably do it too much. But she had a new outfit on, and she looked stellar, so we had been telling her how pretty she looked before we left the house.

Ricardo and I were talking, on our way to the other side of town... Ellie had been babbling to herself in the backseat, when all of the sudden she cut in with a hard to ignore, "hey, guys!"

We stopped talking. "Yes, Ellie?" I turned around in my seat to look at her. She paused. "Do you really think I'm pretty?"

I couldn't even answer at first, I just turned and gaped at Ricardo, and we both started laughing. "Yes, Ellie, we think you're beautiful!!!!" I finally answered her.

Where does she GET this stuff??
