overheard

jungle book is the movie of the week here at the hinckley home. i just overheard lily speaking to "sher-kan" on the phone (he's the tiger who wants to eat mobley!!). anyhoo, i had to confirm and here is the resulting conversation:

me: "who are you talking to?"

lily: "sher-kan."

me: "from jungle book?"

lily: "yeah, he's the tiger who wants to kill the man cub."

me: "what are you telling him?"

lily: "that i'm going to the city with my mom and dad."

well, at least, she'll be safe from tigers in the city even if she likes to fraternize with them.

There is always a fine line between reality and fantasy with children. I hope she doesn't lose her imagination. That was great.

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
