Mockingbird, indeed.

I've been bugging Jess to read my favorite book, To Kill a Mockingbird, practically since I met her.  She finally started it last night and got through 10 pages before falling asleep. "I like it a lot," she mumbled.  This morning I encouraged her to continue, as Harper Lee really is hysterical.  "It gets funny?" she asked.  "Cause it hasn't been so far." 

"Dill?  Scout?! They're so funny! And Atticus? Oh my god he's like a dream dad.  I wanted him to be my dad when I was little."

A pause, a little grin, and then my funny girl delivered:  "...Dadicus?"

it's pretty obvious why this is one of your favorites.
you are so scout finch.
When I laugh at her, I'm laughing because it reminds me exactly of things that you would say/do.
