So this is love?

Recently, my sister and I were cleaning the men's (gross, no offence) bathroom in the multi-use building at church.  Grace, 6, begged to help. 

At Grace's suggestion, we started singing "Sing Sweet Nightingale" from Cinderella and were having a great time cleaning that bathroom.

Then Grace stops everything, and says "Oh but THIS song is so much better."
She dropped her voice to a husky low key and began singing "So this is love" also from Cinderella.

This is a moment, frozen in time, that I will never forget.

We all are wearing those yellow cleaning gloves, Grace is melodiously whirling around with a broom, I'm scrubbing a urinal and Kristy's sanitizing the toilets.  "So this is love?"

Well sang Grace.
