Buddies since birth

Recently, Ella got to talk to her bud, Lily.  They've literally known each other since birth.

Sorry about the picture.  Let's just say it's artistic.

It was hilarious to listen in, and we need to have them talk more often.  The conversation went something like this:

Lily:  Hello, Ella.  I got an owie.

Ella:  Did you put a bandaid on it?

Lily:  I hurt myself on Grandma's {blank - I couldn't catch it}.

Ella:  What did you say?

Lily:  I hurt myself on Grandma's {blank}.

Ella:  What did you say?

Lily:  I hurt myself on Grandma's {blank}.

Ella:  What did you say?

Lily:  I hurt myself on Grandma's {blank}.

{Insert mamas, trying to move the conversation along}

Ella:  Did you put a bandaid on it?

Lily:  We don't have bandaids right now.

Ella:  Are you going to get more bandaids?

Lily:  We don't have bandaids right now.

Ella:  Are you going to get more bandaids?

{enter silence that lasts until we prompt the kids to keep talking.}

Ella:  I have a picture of you in my room.  It's from when we lived in our old house and went to our old church.  You're smiling.

Lily:  Uh-huh.  Good-bye!

It has been one of the hardest things

to separate these two who have known each other since birth

and love each other.  Well, kinda love-hate, but still.
