I’m in the middle of giving my three-year-old her bath, talking about how close it is to Christmas Eve. She, of course, is getting VERY excited. They made “reindeer food” at her preschool, and she asked me if we could go sprinkle it in the yard after she gets out of the bath.
“No, sweetheart,” I say to her, “if we put it out now, it’ll get eaten by other animals.”
“Like what?” she asks.
“Well, like squirrels and birds.”
“And bathtubs?”
“Bathtubs? You think the bathtub is going to eat the reindeer food?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Do bathtubs eat anything else besides reindeer food?” I ask, my curiosity piqued.
“No”, she answers, a look of complete seriousness on her face.” But they eat LOTS of it!”

LOL&L&L&L&L&L&L&L&L!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a very precosious 2-year old whose voice I heard all throughout this conversation!!!!! I made my husband read it, but I laughed so hard the whole time he tried to read it that my legs were shaking the laptop too much for him to read! I continue to laugh spontaniously as I write you this message, and even moreso when I imagine her as a little you! š Nice!
