Story Time

Aurelia woke up from her nap in a particularly funny mood today. I generally find her to be humorous, but today her choice of words tickled me. Here are a couple of our conversations:

Momma (M): Reli, there's a fly on the window screen!

Reli (R): Shoo fly! (waving arm as if shoo-ing a fly away)

M: What's he doing inside our house?

R: He's working.

M: Working at what?

R: Tummy time. . . Bug flew away.

(5 minutes later)

R: Where is the "shoo-fly"? Working in the studio.

We were in the kitchen and Reli was hungry (as usual).

R: Want some kitty cat beans.

M: Kidney beans?

R: Yeah.

M: What color are kidney beans?

R: Red!

M: What color are black beans?

R: Black! (said sarcastically)

M: What color are garbanzo beans?

R: Kind of . . . airplane.

These days are funny, even when they are not always fun.
