I'm still experimenting with this meme inspired by my conversations in the car with my chatterbox in the backseat. I really want to make it a link-up too, maybe once a month so we can share our best talks with our toddlers/preschoolers.
on the way home from preschool last Thursday, Marlie decides to start talking about color (as in race). Out of the blue, She blurts out...
Marlie: Mommy, I'm black
Me: Okay (followed by laughter).
Marlie: Why are you laughing at me?
Me: I'm not. I am just surprised and happy that you know that. Where did you learn that you are black?
Marlie: I saw a wormy squirmy today.
Me: (Now I am confused, but I want to stay on topic). Is the wormy squirmy black?
Marlie: No, he's slimy!
Me: Okay. Is daddy black?
Marlie: Yes.
Me: Is mommy black?
Marlie: No. You are yellow.
Me: (doing a double take). Mommy is black too.
Marlie: No! I want you to be yellow.
Me: If you say so (shaking my head. no sense in arguing with her at this ages because apparently she thinks I am a crayon)

I'm toying with a new meme inspired by my conversations in the car with my chatterbox in the backseat. I would like to make it a link-up too. Let me know what you think!
Monday's conversation while driving home from preschool...
Marlie: Are we going to see the fireman station?
Me: Yes, I always drive past the fire station on the way home.
Marlie: One time daddy and me went inside!
Me: Did you like it?
Marlie: Yep, but I was shy.
Me: What does shy mean?
Marlie: It means I was not happy.
Me: But I thought you liked going inside the fire station. I think shy means you didn't talk to the fireman.
Marlie: Oh.
Marlie: Do firemen like Popsicle?
Me: I'm sure they do.
Marlie: Can we make some Popsicle for the firemen right now?
Me: It's too cold for Popsicle.
Marlie: Why?
Me: It's winter and the firemen probably want stuff that keeps them warm like soup and hot cocoa.
Marlie: And spicy chicken?
Me: um, sure.
Marlie: I don't like spicy chicken cause it make my tongue hot and I tell daddy. But I like chicken without the spicy.
Me: Oh.

Last Friday's conversation while on the way to a playdate...
Marlie: Is Halloween happen already mommy?
Me: Yes
Marlie: So no more Halloween?
Me: Nope
Marlie: Why not?
Me: Because it's finished.
Marlie: Why it finished?!
Me: (rolling eyes) It's over for now until next time.
Marlie: But my candy is gone, the bad wolf took it! (side note: She got plenty of treats, but we threw out/gave away the bulk. Then her father told her the Big Bad Wolf stole it. Nice, I know)
Me: But you got to eat some of it, right?
Marlie: But the Bad Wolf took the rest of it and he took my bucket and went on the plane to see his family. And I need to go on the plane so I can get my bucket back and he not going to blow my house down cause I'm Batman!
Me: Okay then!
