When I Grow Up ...

I love the "what did you do today" conversations at this age.  I firmly believe that a tornado could remove half of the building and Little Man's response would still be a run down of snack time.  I now know who brings the really good snacks, who brings the not so great ones and where my choices fall in this list.  It's the new fundamental of learning - reading, writing, arithmetic and snack time.  Snacks must be chosen carefully - they are clearly the foundation of learning!

Diva branches out a bit in her details.  Last year, it was all about who got in trouble for the day (unless it happened to be her!) and whatever the love of her life, little Mr. J, had done.  This year the stories range from science lessons to who she played with at recess to a particularly good day in the cafeteria.  It is a loaded question - no telling what the response will be.  Today's conversation did not disappoint!

Today's conversation went like this:
Diva:  "When I grow up, I think I will move to another state."
Me:  "Oh, you can't do that!  That would make mommy very sad! 
Daddy: "What state are you moving to?  The state of insanity?"
Diva:  *looking very serious and a bit confused*  "No, I think I will just keep my same family." 

That's my girl, love her!!!
Even at an early age, she has learned to embrace the crazy folks in her life.  They are what keep it interesting!
