Stained glass windows

Addie recently made a stained glass window at school, and everyone knows that Niffers LOVE stained glass windows. Apparently so does Ellie. She liked Adddie's stained glass window so much that she was anxious to hang it up as soon as we got home.

Ellie: Hey, Mommy, guess what?! For your bird-day you can hang dis up on your window. Oh! I know! You can hang it on my window 'stead!
Mommy: For **MY** birthday we can hang Addie's stained glass window in **YOUR** room?
Ellie: Yeah, it's for your bird-day.

The rest of the car ride home was filled with a joyous melody coming from the back seat:

"... Stained glass windows all day I ree-ah like dem stained glass window... Stained glass windows. Every day is like the same... Dey just help make my heart sing the same on every day. I ree-ah like stained glass windows and Addie likes them too... They are so pretty because they make my heart sing. Every day I'm happy. Stained glass windows. Stained glass windows... I ree-ah like my stained glass windows..."

Though I had never heard the tune before, I couldn't help but think the lyrics were near perfect.

And then, to top it off, Ellie colored me a picture of a pretty stained glass window the following day. She presented it like it was a Picasso, and quite honestly, I like it just as much!
