Let me ask mommy a question

Penny is very humorous in announcing her intent to do something before she does it. (And then sometimes recapping the event after it just occurred.) Today we had a dead pine tree cut down and the guy who did it also brought us a load of mulch for our yard. This evening Penny was "raking" the mulch with her Penny-sized rake when she suddenly dropped it saying to herself, "I am going to go ask Mommy a question." I bent down low as she ran over, curious to know what she might ask me. She pointed to the pile of mulch in the garden and asked, "Do you see that mulch right there Mommy?" "Yes," I replied expectantly. "The man brought it in the yellow tractor." It was kind of anticlimactic, but then I realized, wasn't it just like yesterday that she was learning to talk? And now she's telling me about stuff?

Also, one funny thing Penny does is to say "dude" when trying to ask "what did he do". Instead, she'll say, "what he dude?" (I'm spelling it "dude" so you'll know how she's saying it - doed just didn't look right). I do that thing where I parrot her statement back to correct her without correcting her and it usually results in the next time she says it being, "what he did?" Close enough. Anyway, I just love the conjugation of the verb did into dude.
