Today I thought I'd share some of the exchanges I've heard in the minivan. I can't wait to get a new car, but we sure have had some interesting times in there these past 9 years.
Backseat Chatter:
Molly (age 4):
Santa Claus isn’t real.
Jake (age 6):
Duh. I’ve known that for a long time!
Molly (age 4):
Yeah. It’s your mom and dad who put on the red suit and come down the chimney.
Jake (age 6):
(Hand to forehead) Aargh.
Backseat Chatter:
Molly (age 5):
They can’t have a baby. They aren’t married.
Jake (age 7):
Yes they can! It happens. It happened to Aunt Marie. She got too close to a man and these microscopic creatures went from his body into hers. That’s how she got Sean.
Backseat Chatter:
Molly (age 6):
Mom, can we get a kitten?
Mom (age 38):
We’ll see.
Jake (age 8):
Darn. “We’ll see” means NO. “I’ll think about” it means YES.
Molly (age 6)
You’re right. That’s always the way it is.
