conversation had over bagels this morning

me: “So what were you guys watching this morning?” (the kids didn’t bother us until 9am)

Bella: “We watched Giada and a Nova.”

Adam: “What was the Nova about?”

Bella: “Parallel worlds.”

me: “Really?”

Bella: “Yea, it was so interesting. I love Nova.”

conversation had while waiting for Bella in dance class

me: “What do you want for Christmas?”

Tess: “I want a camera and I think maybe a DS.”

me: “Hmm, well you need to choose, we can’t get both.”

Tess: after a moment pause, “Ok I’ll get a camera from you and then ask Santa for the DS and that way I can get both.”

me: speechless
