imaginations…
Lately, my kids have been playing a lot of “house” as I called it growing up, and they completely crack me up with the things they come up with. The other day when we were on our way home from school, they decided to be brother and sister (go figure!) and I was their babysitter. There conversation went something like this…
Daughter: I can’t go to the birthday party because girls can’t go
Son: Uh huh, girls can go now
Me: Whose birthday party are you going to?
Daughter: I don’t know his name because I wasn’t invited
Son: He doesn’t have a name
Me: What did you buy him for his present?
Son: My mom bought him all kind of birthday stuff
Me: What kind of birthday stuff?
Son: Like cake, cereal…and…cupcakes and pizza
Daughter: Well I didn’t get him anything because I didn’t know I was allowed to go
Son: I will make him something then, and you can carry it in
Me: What are you going to make him?
Son: A light saber, and he said he wants the whole galaxy
Daughter: Well, now he is just being greedy
Son: I am going to call my mom and ask her to buy an Anakin costume at Target. Do you have a phone?
Daughter: I was texting too much at school so my teacher threw it away

I had to cut in there, and get out of character. I had no idea my daughter even knew what texting was. haha!
