She can be hyper, but she can also be incredibly funny without realizing it.
I was looking for a movie to watch this afternoon while I pieced together my college quilt. Trina was allowed to join in the movie-watching fun if she vacuumed the family room first.
Trina: (done vacuuming) Don't worry, Melinda, I'll read off titles of the grown-up movies that I actually like.
Melinda smiles.
Trina: Harry Potter?
Melinda: No.
Trina: Cheaper by the Dozen?
Melinda: No.
Trina: Care Bears?
Melinda and Jenny: NO!
Melinda: Stardust? It's new, but I think it might be PG-13.
Trina: (Solemnly) Oh, then I don't think I could see it. PG-13 stands for parents and grown-ups over thirteen.
Jenny: (laughing) Do you know how many PG-13 movies you've seen? Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter...
Melinda: Yeah, Trina, those are scary.
Trina: For you, not for me. I'm scared of the dark, but I'm just not afraid of any DARK LORDS.

I just have one thing to say: I can't wait to come home.
