A MUCH NEEDED CHUCKLE

Here is our conversation on the way to school this morning with Calli, Colson and the neighbor friend Landon (who is the same age as Colson).

CALLI: Mom, have you seen those things that look like animals and they have this little strap on them and you can play with them and then it tricks you because when you are ready for bed something happens to the strap and it turns into a pillow? (She's not very good at explaining things).

LANDON: I've seen those, I like the ladybug.

COLSON: THOSE ARE FOR THREE YEAR OLDERS!

CALLI: You don't say it like that...it's three year olds. And they are not for three year olds, I want one. Do you think you could get me one Mom?

LANDON: They are called pillow pets.

CALLI: Yea! Pillow pets, that's what they are mom. Have you seen the commercial?(she goes into the explanation again not any better than the first time).

COLSON: THOSE ARE FOR THREE YEAR OLDERS

CALLI: It's not olders..you say three year olds.

LANDON: I've seen that commercial and it says it's for all ages.

CALLI: Yes Landon, it does. See Colson, you know you want one. I really want one mom.

COLSON: I do not want one!!! THOSE ARE FOR THREE YEAR OLDERS!

CALLI: Why do you keep saying it like that?

LANDON: It's really tricky because you can also put your pj's in there where the pillow is. I think they are cool.

CALLI: See I need one mom.

Landon mentions something about his birthday...I didn't hear what he really said or why he said it at this moment in the conversation but he throws out his birthday.

CALLI: Ooooh  when is your birthday Landon? We could get you one for your birthday.

LANDON: NO!!!!! NOT FOR MY BIRTHDAY! THOSE ARE FOR THREE YEAR OLDERS!

CALLI: IT'S NOT THREE YEAR OLDERS....YOU SAY THREE YEAR OLDS!!!

Notice I didn't say anything through the whole conversation. But I was laughing through most of it.
