Dinner Conversations

These are just from this week...

Natalie: How do you get a baby in your tummy?

[I glance at Rob...short pause.]

Carolyn: You get married.

[We smile and nod as this answer works for a 3 year old.]

Natalie: I never ever ever gonna do that!

another night....

Carolyn (to Seth): I can't believe you like those [little green peas].

[I give examples of well loved foods I don't like - peanut butter and

chocolate ice cream - to make the point that what one person likes another doesn't.]

Natalie: I like Macy

Rob: We're talking about foods; Macy is a person; you can't eat Macy.

Seth: Isn't Macy a restaurant?

Beth: No, Macy's is a store.

[They want to know what Macy's sells.]

Rob: [explains what they sell; Beth helps explain, includes perfume

in description of a department store]

Carolyn: Mom, Can I have perfume from Macy's??!

Beth: No, but I'll get you some perfume from Walmart. :)
