My hubby was making up a song to sing to out 2 yr old daughter and he sang Your such a pretty girl, you look just like your dad! I couldn't help but laugh and laugh. He didn't think it was so funny though.

Good girl. One of the primary jobs of a good wife is to keep their husbands grounded in reality. If you can have fun while doing it, so much the better.
