Conversations

The girls had some Mom-&-Dad-free time with relatives in Duluth this past weekend. Abby, especially, is very in tune with the world around her and she is not afraid to ask anything. Here are a few conversations between Abby, her cousin Jess, and her Aunt Kathleen.



Abby: What's that on your face?
Jess: A zit
Abby: A zit? Will it go away?
Jess: Yeah, it shows up one day and is gone in a couple of days.
Abby: I don't want a zit.
Jess: Me neither, but it's all a part of getting older.



We were watching a part of Aladdin. At the end of the movie when they are confronting the sorcerer, Jasmine was telling Jafar that she should have "never trusted him". Abby asked me if "trust" was a bad word. I told her that when I was helping her jump the rocks I asked her if she felt safe with me holding her hand to make the jump. She said yes and I told her that she had trust in me that I wouldn't let her fall.

Abby: Where do you live?
Kathleen: This is my house, I live here.
Abby: Will you move to Ohio?
Kathleen: No, I can't because I live in Minnesota.
Abby: You can come to Ohio in the summer, but we swim in the winter.

Abby: Do wear a bra?
Kathleen: Yes, I do.
Abby: Do you wear one with your dresses?
Kathleen: Yes, I wear one all the time.
Abby: I have a bra.
Kathleen: You do?
Abby: Yeah, it's part of my swimsuit.



I was coloring with both girls - I love to color:
Jess: Mom, I bet you wish we were little again.
Me: Yes, they were some of the best days of my life.
I wouldn't trade being at home with you guys for anything.

Neither would I!
