Conversations with a 3 year old

Friday - 11:55 a.m. Dec. 7, 2007

Here's a recap of an "in car" conversation.
Me: Lianna we're going to "the green restaurant" (aka: Cotton Patch) for lunch.
Her: Yipee! The Green Restaurant is my favorite.
Me: Brooks, do you want to eat grilled cheese or chicken.
Him: Tzeeeez
Her: Mommy, Brooks is a boy, he doesn't eat Giiiirrrrl Cheese, he eats Boy Cheese!
Me: Ha! Sweet Love... it's Grrriillled Cheese, not Giiirrrl Cheese.

Lianna just arrived home from purchasing our Christmas tree with daddy. We proceed to trim the trunk and put it up in the living room. Everyone steps back and looks at our newly acquired (yet still undecorated) tree.
Daddy: Well, what do you think?
Lianna: Where are all the presents?
Mommy: Well Honey, they don't just appear once the tree is up.


Saturday - (every hour or so) Dec. 8, 2007

Lianna: Mommy? When are we going to put lights on our tree?
Me: Maybe tonight if we have time.


Sunday - (every hour or so) Dec. 9, 2007

Lianna: Mommy? Can we put lights on our tree now?
Me: No honey, we have to wait until we can ALL do it together.


Monday - 11:45 a.m. Dec. 10, 2007

My sister calls from Vegas. Her phone conversation with Lianna:
Lianna: We have a new Christmas tree! I really love it!
[proceeds to hug the tree]
[pause]
Lianna: It's very poky, like a pine cone.
[pause]
Lianna: No there's no presents under it, only water.
