Conversations with the Children

Henry: Is Mississippi a really important state?
Me: Not particularly.  Why?
Henry: Because the kids at school talk about it all the time while we're waiting at the water fountain.

Ingrid: [Pulls out some green costume fairy wings].  Jamie gave me these wings on the second day.
Me: I know, Keira and Olivia sent you some really cool stuff.
Ingrid: Will Jamie come back soon?
Me: No, sweetie, sorry, Jamie and Karen and Keira and Olivia moved really far away.  We will miss them.
Ingrid: Did they go to Vermont?
Me: No, now they live in a big city in the desert.
Ingrid: The desert planet of Tatooine????
