Mila has firmly landed in the Talk Until Everyone's Face Falls Off phase. She talks and she talks and she talks and she doesn't care all that much if anyone is listening because she'll just pretend. Words on words and ZOMG it's exhausting.

Mostly I only half listen. It's fine because she has people in her head she can talk to.

That's to say, she has hit the nonstop talking phase at the same time as she has hit the Pretend Friends phase. It's all rather convenient. She has people to talk to and I get to just enjoy the show.

Except, she has WEIRD conversations with the people I can't see.

The past few days Mila has been talking about cats. There have been stories about Kiara, Max, and Ali. Mostly Max, of course, because Max is the one cat who is most willing to hang out with Mila. Mila shared lots of details about how soft he is and how nice he is and all of that. Ali is "really scared" which is also about right. Kiara is mostly known for her giant, fluffy tail.

Annnnnd then there's "the white cat." He's dead, by the way. I know he's dead because Mila told the people in her head that he's dead. But the dead white cat is friendly and he visits at night. Sometimes he brings Mila gifts. The gifts have included books and Hatchimals and such, but mostly he just visits so they can be friends. They play and talk to each other.

The dead white cat has pink ears and he's REALLY big ("like Max"). He meows a lot. He's "bad." I've had days of details shared about this cat who isn't real because there isn't a single photo where Mila can see it or any reason for her to know this tale.

You guys. YOU GUYS. Read this. Look at the date.

I'm going to need the number for the Ghostbusters, please.

That reminds me of when my daughter (age 3 or 4) told me about the boy that lived in her closet. She told me not to worry because he was a nice boy and he just came to check on her at night. Umm.....Ok.
