The latest evidence that Bridgette is watching everything we do -- and then imitating it -- is that she keeps saying "damn it!" But, I'm not supposed to tell you that. So, instead, I'm going tell you how she's started folding her arms, bowing her head, and (kind of) closing her little eyes during prayers. We never even had to try to teach her. She just started doing it at the appropriate times. She's so smart.
Apparently, she's got a little evangelical in her also, because the other night she kept yelling "Amen!" during Grandpa Tobler's blessing on dinner. After the prayer, several people speculated that she was trying to encourage Grandpa to finish the prayer in a more timely way. Nicer elements suggested that Bridgette was just voicing her agreement. To which she replied, "Amen, Brother!" (She really said that)
That reminds me that I need to share the story about how I ruined the Tobler evangelical tradition of holding hands during prayers -- before we were even married...

Obviously the "Damn it" was from your grab bag. You've said that phrase with a distinct gusto for quite a number of years now!!! Again, very nice.
