Sometimes it's about Mommy, sometimes it's about Daddy

..and often she'll switch within a couple of hours. A sampling from Friday:

Rachel (after I sang "Five Little Ducks" on the way to work in the morning): Mommy Duck sad?
Me: Yes, sweetie, she's sad because all her little ducklings went away. Just like Mommy will be sad when you go away.
Rachel: No! I no go away!
Me: Promise, Rachel?
Rachel: I want you! You're MY mommy!
Me: And you're MY Rachel. You're my ONLY Rachel!
Rachel: You like it when I lean against you.

...and then, on the way home from work:
Rachel: Daddy in Seattle?
Me: No, Rachel, Daddy's in New York.
Rachel: He come back from New York and stay forever and ever!
Me: You miss Daddy, don't you?
Rachel: Yeah. I miss Daddy.
Me: I miss him, too.
