Vacation Planning
Natalie: You know when we go to Florida? Me: Yes… Natalie: You and mom will be paying for my hotel and my food right? Me: Yes Natalie.
Christmas Spirit
The other night, Natalie saw a TV commercial which profiled children who are less fortunate than she is. She retreated to her room, returning a few times to confirm how to spell a few words (we didn’t know what she was working on).
Voice of Encouragement
When the circus clown dropped one of the balls he was juggling. Natalie, stands up and shouts (with as much sincerity as a 6 year-old can): That’s OK! We still think you’re doing a great job!
War Memorial
Upon driving by a new war memorial being constructed near our home: Natalie: Mom, is that where the dead soldiers are going to be? Lisa: No Natalie, it’s a memorial for the dead soldiers. There won’t be any bodies buried there. Natalie: *pause* Natalie: Oh…just heads?
Animal Rescue
A heart-warming tale about wildlife rescue emphasizing the need for Diego to clarify for his young audience, in no uncertain terms, that he only saves animals that are alive…with heads intact:
Kids Are Annoying!
Natalie: I’m not going to have kids when I grow up. Adrian: Why not? Natalie: They’re annoying…
Can I Watch the News Tonight?
Natalie: Can I watch the news tonight? Lisa: Why would you want to watch the news? Natalie: To see if the groundhog saw his shadow.
You’re the Weird One!
Adrian (joking to Lisa): …Natalie is pretty much fully reared now isn’t she?” Natalie: You’re the weird one!
I’m Moving Out!
Natalie: When I turn 6 I’m moving out! Lisa: Really? Natalie: *Pause* Natalie: Maybe I’ll stay…but I’m making my own rules.
