Cheeseball

My two little girls are different in many ways; but one thing they have in common is one of their first words:

CHEESE!

It's a great word, and one of my favorite things in the world. (Brie, goat, swiss, mozzarella . . .) The thing is, my girls meant completely different things by it, and honestly, it's rather surprising which is which. 

Kate, who has been known to strike a model-ish pose in many a photo, knew that "cheese" meant that delightful dairy product. On the other hand, my little gourmand, Clairy-Bear, knows "cheese" as a camera-mugging idiom, and is happy to show you her mastery of the concept at every opportunity.
