Since Melina isn't five yet, surprising conversations still result when the two of us talk. Sometimes, she tells me about why we should write about Daphne from Scooby-Doo and how Daphne really wants a piece of chocolate. Where's the tension? The motivation? Or maybe Melina is just that smart and she's actually telling me that she wants a piece of chocolate. I like to think that is it, of course.
Yesterday, we had another surprising conversation:
But here's the thing. Her Sunday school is for four year olds. Some kids might be a little older, but still...four. Are we starting the use of this word already? At four? I had to explain to Melina what the word actually meant, after she asked me. It's not a bad word, but one that we don't routinely use around here.
The only thing I can say is that the girl must be bright. She used the word properly.

Is anyone else gobsmacked at the thought of it being March 1 today? I've known all week it was coming, but I just sat down and was hit over the head with it again. Amazing.
Yesterday, we had another surprising conversation:
Melina: Mommy, someone at my Sunday school once said they were jealous of my eyes.Well all right then. I guess the girl wanted to tell Melina her eyes are pretty. They are, but the other little girls also have very pretty eyes.
Me: What? What did she say?
Melina: She said she was jealous of my eyes.
Me: Oh. Really?
Melina: Yes, she said it was because they were pretty.
