1. Ellie doesn't want to be an "airplane pirate" any more. Now when she grows up, she wants to be "a team of football. Or a soccer ball."
2. Ellie was re-telling a story she had hear about Isaac and I hitting a turkey with the car three days before she was born, and she said it happened when she was a little baby. I corrected her and told her that she was in my tummy at that time. She laughed and said, "I must have been a really little baby to fit in your tummy!" (I think she said that because I'm so skinny!)
Anyway, I explained that she grew in my tummy. Her eyes got big, and she asked, "Did you eat me?"
Maija told me that Sydney asked her the same thing this week. How strange is that?
3. In the car today, Ellie said, "There are only three of us. I would like there to be a fourth person in our family." (Again: Thanks, Grandma.) Isaac asked her why she wanted a fourth person. She answered, "So there would be someone else to help me!" Egocentrism, anyone?

What fun - I love how kids think... Maybe that's why I love my husband's comments. (For example - "If someone took our moon, do you think we would try to get a new one?" - said by Matt while watching the intro to the most recent Fantastic Four movie)
another perfectly good reason why child thinking is so much better than adult thinking.
