I love tuning in to the backseat banter between my kiddies. Their funny little conversations make me giggle but are oh-so-important and serious to them. They think I'm not listening, but I do take it all in!
Waiting in the school pick up line is filled with entertaining one-liners and long-winded converstions between my two youngest kidlings.
A few weeks ago it was looking quite grey and stormy at school pick up time. Chace is a bit of a storm tracker himself and predicts the weather most days. His younger sister is quite the happy-go-lucky, airy-fairy type - nothing much bothers her.
So it went like this:
Chace: "Hey Lex, I think there's a storm comin',"
Lex: "Yeah?!"
Chace: "Yep Lex, there is. And you know what? They is danger those storms."
Lex: "Awww."
Chace: "You know, you will get very hurt if you're out and the lightening storm gets you."
Lex looked thoughtful: "But I wearing my purple pants!"
Chace: "But the lightening can still get you."
Lex: "No...purple pants!"
Chace became frustrated: "Lex, it's a storm!"
Lex: "Umm...purple pants!"
So it went on and on. My fairy insisting that all will be ok in the world if she is donning her purple pants. My sensitive little man in a flurry of tears, frustrated that he can't reason with her. (I'm thinking he's going to spend many frustrated years not understanding why his sisters, or girls in general, can't be reasoned with!)
Sienna jumped in the car amidst the howling and cackling. She gave me a funny look. I shrugged.
Purple pants trump lightening. Simple as that really!
