Conversations With a Toddler

May 13, 2013

Conversations with a toddler

M: Lilly, I love having you here with me. You are my special little girl.

L: I love you too, Mommy.

M: It’s fun to be together all day, isn’t it?

L: Yes, but it’s not very much fun at night when I’m sleeping.

M: Why’s that?

L: Because we can’t jump or eat or play when I’m asleep. It’s so borin’.

****

L: Remember when we went to the Aviary with all of those birds, Mommy?

M: Yes, we went on your birthday. That was so much fun.

L: Can you take me to the Wolf Aviary?

M: Aviary’s are only for birds.

L: What is the place called that is only for wolves?

****

L: Do fish live at the aquarium?

M: Yes, they do.

L: Do books live at the library?

M: Yes… they do.

L: Is a librarium like an aquarium for books?

M: Yes, sort of… except it is a LIBRARY not a librarium.

L: Can we borrow books from the librarium?

M: We can borrow books from the library, yes.

L: Can we borrow fish from the aquarium?

****

L: Do you think Guinness has a tummy ache?

M: No, why would you think he does?

L: He keeps telling me he’s hungry.

M: Oh, well maybe you should make him a snack, or get him a dog treat.

L: Well, I don’t like dog treats Mom…

M: Well, what would Guinness like?

L: He might love a pack of gummies!

****

L: You really need to drive me up to someplace way high up.

M: Why would I need to do that?

L: Because all these trees are totally in the way of me seeing my MomMom’s house.

M: You won’t be able to see your MomMom’s house, Lilly. It is much too far away. People can’t see that far.

L: Right, we can’t see that far on the ground, Mom. That’s why I said take me someplace way up high.

****

L: Wait! You didn’t put butt paste on my toothbrush.

M: Lilly, it’s TOOTHpaste, remember?

L: Oh right, Mom, I forgot again!

M: That’s ok. Butts are yucky! Butt paste on your TOOTHbrush would be way-gross!

L: Yeah and toothpaste on your butt would be way-minty!

****
