Kids say the darndest things....

[Guest guest]

Looked after my nieces and Grace last evening for a few hours. Lots of chatting on many topics. Here's a snippet to give you a flavor. Grace is 5. is 6.

Grace: "Aunt Mare we're going to have a new babysitter."

Aunt Mare: "I've heard about that. Can you tell me about her?"

Grace:" She's brown"

Short pause as Grace looks me over.

Grace: "You're not brown Aunt Mare."

Aunt Mare: "That's true."

Grace: "Yeah, you're just plain."

Another pause as she looks at me again somewhat seriously. Her face brightens then and...

Grace: "But you do have oxygen."

shakes her head, sighs with the wisdom of her 6 years and says: "Oh Gracie."

I'm sitting there at the picnic table trying not to howl with laughter. So I guess though my pale skin makes me somewhat boring, my oxygen makes me a bit more interesting. It's a tradeoff I suppose. LOL

Just had to share.
